Digital Scrapbooking Tips

I’m a sucker for the free refill cups. All winter I enjoy free refills of coffee from the local coffee shop, while during the summertime, I’m all about free diet soda refills. Maybe that’s why I like these color-fill tricks in Photoshop and PSE:

• Alt + Backspace (Mac: Opt + Backspace) fills your document with the foreground color.

• Ctrl + Backspace (Mac: Cmd + Backspace) fills your document with the background color.

• Shift + Backspace brings up the Fill Layer Dialog Box where you can choose to fill the document with the background or foreground color, a color of your choice, a pattern, black, white or grey.

• Ctrl + Shift + Backspace (Mac Cmd + Shift + Backspace) fills all opaque (non-transparent) pixels of a layer with the background color.

• Alt + Shift + Backspace (Mac Opt + Shift + Backspace) fills all opaque (non-transparent) pixels of a layer with the foreground color.
