Two Brushes Are Better Than One
*Adobe Bridge CS4 and Adobe Camera Raw 5 Tip*
To rapidly change the Size, Feather, Flow, and Density of a brush, use the A and B preset brushes. To set them up, click one of the brushes ( A or B ) and change its settings. Make one brush large with Auto Mask off for painting areas such as backgrounds. Click the other brush and make it small with Auto Mask checked on for finer detail and edge work. Press the Forward Slash key ( / ) to quickly switch between the brushes.

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.
