Quickly Scroll Through Palettes & Dialogue Box Settings: Paint Shop Pro & Photoshop Tip

This tip explains how to quickly scroll through an open Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop Palette or Dialogue Box (including the Layers Palette), using your Keyboard’s Arrow Keys. First, (using your cursor) highlight the settings or values of an open dialogue box or palette - as illustrated below.

 

Then whilst the values remain highlighted, tap the Keyboard’s Top-facing or Bottom-facing Arrow Key.

Tapping the Top-facing or Bottom-facing Arrow Key quickly scrolls through the values or settings.

Note
I am using a Windows XP PC.

Best Wishes.

Wendi E M Scarth.

 

Photoshop Layers Tips (2)

1/ Create A New Layer From An Open Document Or Photograph
In Photoshop you can create a New Layer from an opened image or photograph.  To do so, right-click the Layer/Background Layer in the Layers Palette, then choose Duplicate Layer.  Now, from the subsequent Duplicate Layer dialogue box, instead of automatically clicking OK: first clear the As box (this is beneath the Duplicate: Background tab) - then type in New, and click OK.

2/ Highlight/Select Multiple Layers: Photoshop CS2, CS3, CS4 (Extended)
Hold down the Shift Key, then left-click over the Layers you would like to select.  All Layers between the first and last clicked Layer will be automatically selected.

Best Wishes.
