This is a great trick we learned from our buddy Mike Ninness, and the first time we saw it, we said, “Hey, wait a minute, that can’t be.” Oh, but it be. It’s how to undo a Save. This is especially helpful after you’ve flattened an image, saved the file, then realized that you needed to change something on a layer. This only happens to us about every other day, and here’s the keyboard shortcut to fix it: Command-Option-Z (PC: Control-Alt-Z). Press it a few times after you’ve flattened and saved, and look in your Layers palette to see all the layers come a-rumbling right back. Pretty slick stuff.

If you’re working on an RGB image and you’ve done your basic color correction but the flesh tone in your image still seems too red (a common problem), here’s a tip to fix it fast. First, select the flesh tone areas in your image (using the Lasso tool, etc.). Add a slight feather by going under the Select menu and choosing Feather. Enter a 1-pixel feather for low-res images; 3-5 pixels for high-res images. Go under the Image menu, under Adjustments, and choose Hue/Saturation. From the Edit pop-up menu, choose Reds. Now lower the Saturation slider until your skin tones look more natural and click OK.
