Quickly Isolate A Transparent Object With A Selection Marquee - Photoshop Tip
31/07/2009 by admin.
First, open a transparent object onto Photoshop’s workspace: or extract an object from its background.
Note
Ensure any Layers have been Merged Visible.
Note
I am using Windows XP with Photoshop CS4 Extended.
Now, press and keep pressed your Keyboard’s Ctrl Key: then left-click once over the following Layer Thumbnail.

And your transparent image will now be isolated by a Selection Marquee, as illustrated below.

Tip
If you cannot see your Layers Palette, press F6.
Best Wishes.

Preview Images At Their Original Size - Paint Shop Pro Tip
31/07/2009 by admin.
This is a handy tip, if for example, you have zoomed into an image that is open on Paint Shop Pro’s workspace, and you would like to see how it appears at its regular size. From the top menu of Paint Shop Pro, choose Window then choose New Window. A smaller dialogue box will open, and it will display your image at its usual size, as illustrated below.
Note
This tip is suitable for all Paint Shop Pro versions.

Best Wishes.
