Another handy thing I found in CS2 is the history panel does not truly do all undo steps, like for instance if you turn a text layer off and on, it will not show up in the history list. In order to get every action you do to show up in your history list go to the history options by clicking on the little arrow in the top right hand corner and click on “Make Layer Visibility chsnges undoable” and you all set.

You could also do a Shift + F5 if you wanna fill with a pattern or so…

I didn’t even know you could go Edit>Fill…

Is that bad?

I always have known about the command+delete and alt+delete…i think it was the first thing someone showed me…

1. Use it all the time
2. Didn’t know, thanks!
3. Vaguely aware, but out of habit I use the Edit > Fill…
4. Always! First thing I do after a new install.
5. Usually use the sharpen filter

Great stuff man. Thanks!

I just wanna add some more tips to your otherwise great list.

Pressing Alt + Backspace fills the layer (or selection) with the background color.
If you right click (or ctrl click) on the ruler you car switch between different measuring units.
