Turn Off or Disable a Layer Mask

 

You can Shift-click on the Layer Mask thumbnail in the layers panel to turn off or disable the mask.  You’ll see a red X appear over the mask icon in the Layers panel.  The mask is actually still there but it’s disabled.  Shift-click on it again to enable it.

Viewing and Basking in your Image

When I’m done working with an image, I like to sit and admire it (hey, I spent six hours working on it, I should). To do that, I hit the Tab key, then hit the F key three times. This hides all of the panels and toolbars and lets you see the image by itself surrounded by black. To get back to regular mode, press the F key and the Tab key one more time.
