Adobe Photoshop or Elements Tip of the Week:
O - O - O - It's Magic!
You can also watch this tip on video on our blog: Digital Scrapbooking Tips and Tricks: Viewing Documents at Actual Size [Video]
The functions of Photoshop and Photoshop Elements are so amazing, it's almost like magic!
Here's a magical way to quickly re-size your document. When you want to view your document in the editing window as large as possible, press Ctrl + 0 (Mac: Cmd + 0) on the keyboard. This fills the editing window with your open document. I find this a fast way to return to workable size when I've zoomed way in or way out to work on the project.
When you want to view your document at actual size, press Ctrl + Alt + 0 (Mac: Cmd + Opt + 0) on the keyboard. This is especially helpful when you are resizing your project for viewing on the web or in online galleries.
Add these shortcuts to your bag of Photoshop tricks this week!
Have a great week and we'll see you at DesignerDigitals!
Katie and Randy
