Few Tips

[Ray]

Hi group!

A few things I just discovered :

- Double click on the empty document space, this will bring the Open dialog
- Control + Double click on the empty document space will bring you the New
document dialog box
- Alt + Double click brings the Open As... dialog
- Shift + Double click brings up the File Browser

Finally...
- F5 brings the file browser
- F6 = How To palette
- F7 = Filters palette
- F8 = Effects
- F9 = Layer Styles
- F10 = Undo History palette
- F11 = Layers palette
- F12 = Hints

Oh and there's also these two, but they were discussed a few weeks ago :
- Tab makes everything disapear except the document itself and the menu bar
(except the File Browser)
- Shift-Tab makes the opened palettes disapear (except the File Browser)

One more before I get my first coffee...

The color picker tool's option :

When you make this tool active, look at the option bar : you'll find only
one option, but a very valuable one. You can select between a 1, 3 or 5
pixels area for sampling! Very handy to get an average color for something
like skies, snow, etc.

Can we post yet ? :ooh:

[Jodi Frye]

I guess at the moment i can...miss you guys ! :wink:

[JuergenDirrigl]

Yes we can.. :wink:

Ray, thanks for the tips. Now, if I only could remember them when I need them!

:grin: Hi Juggen :Þ

[Ray]

Juergen,

I have kept my shortcuts quickcards just beside my screen. The first thing
I do when I work with any applications is to get these out. But I've
discovered that you have to have the need for them. Some shortcuts, no
matter how handy they are, never find their way into my memory because,
frankly, for some actions I plainly prefer using the mouse!

Jodi (and others) : here's how those smileys appear within a newsreader :

> : pbpt : Ray, these little smilies are cute...so are you !

Needless to say, I don't have a clue to what pbpt means. But I assume you
meant well, so thanks :)

I'll see if I can convert these post to HTML... Otherwise, I'm stuck
:meaningless: and :annoying: tags :)

Oh, Sorry Ray ;(

Most of you are doing the newsreader thing so i guess it will be no fun to post smilies ;(

[Ray]

Oh, I'll adjust. Just don't expect thos elaborate smileys from my end ! :)

[JuergenDirrigl]

Hi Jodi :smile:

[Ray]

Thanks Chuck,

I already have PS7 (and its Quick Card). Thought I posted some shortcuts this morning because
sometimes, a small refresher can do no harm :)

Ray
P.S. Quick Card... 6 pages! Quick isn't what it used to be.. ;)

[Chuck Snyder]

Ray, I know - I do too. But I like the digital retouch list better; check
out how well it's organized.

Already done :)

Ray...or anyone.

Any idea as to where can I find a list of **ALL** the short cut keys
available in elements? Some of the short cuts you list are not in the
Elements manual that came with my copy of the program.

Right now I have a hand written list that I have assembled from
various places. It would be nice to have a complete list

They'd love it, Jodi! As would a couple of your other admirers. :) (I think I'm done playing with these emoticons now - takes too long to make a decision!)

[Scott Nelson]

I too prefer Outlook but have o figured out how to post from Outlook.
Have you?

Jodi

I am using a news reader and the smileys appear fine on my screen.

Dave

[Jodi Frye]

Dave, ok good. I know these smilies are totally juvenile but Oh well i still think they are cute.

[Ray]

Dave, what software do you use ?
