Unlink That Mask for Flexibility

 

If you want to move a layer around your image, but leave the layer mask exactly where it is, you need to unlink the two.  Click the little chain link icon between the layer thumbnail and the layer mask to unlink them.  Then you can move the layer around wherever you want to.  Click between the layer thumbnail and layer mask again to re-link the two.

Open in Camera Raw from Bridge

You can open RAW images in Camera Raw right from Bridge in Photoshop CS3. This frees up Photoshop to continue working on your files while they’re being processed in Camera Raw. Just select one or more images in Bridge, Control-click (PC: Right-click) on them, and choose Open in Camera Raw. This will open the image(s) in Bridge’s Camera Raw rather than Photoshop. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Command-R (PC: Ctrl-R).
