So Many Tips From The Photoshop Guys

• Changing adjustment layers without having to redo the layer mask.
• Automate: crop and straighten your scanned photos with a simple command.
• Double-click your adjustment sliders in Camera Raw to get them back to default settings.
• Use smart objects in your layout and you'll have a template that you can use for other photos using the Replace Contents command.
• Blending multiple exposures to get the best areas out of each photo.
• Camera Raw preview checkbox only toggles the changes made with that panel.
• Quickly add extra canvas around your image with the crop tool.
• Straighten a crooked photo using the lens correction filter.
• Open and process your JPEGs in Camera Raw and set your preferences to open all JPEGs in Camera Raw.
• Keyboard shortcuts for working with type.
• Create a clipping mask and place your photo into any shape.
• Use the history brush to create a classic wedding photo effect.
• Applying smart filters to your type layers will keep the text editable.
• When retouching, open your image in a new window so you can see your adjustments in context.
• Type fonts with the word Pro after them have extra font options available.
• Edit your keyboard shortcuts so that your most-used adjustment layers are easy to call up.
