Fast tool access in Adobe Photoshop

Thursday, August 04, 2005

When you're deep into a photo-editing job, scrolling your mouse back and forth across the screen to the toolbox can become mighty tedious. But Adobe has built in a quick way to switch tools using keyboard commands. The Marquee Tool, for example, is activated by pressing the "m" on the keyboard. Other key shortcuts include the "v" for the Move Tool, "t" for the Type Tool, "z" for the Zoom Tool and "i" for the Eyedropper Tool. When you scroll over any tool icon on the toolbox and pause for a second, a small pop-up balloon will appear, giving you the shortcut key for that particular tool. (Note: The preceding is based on Adobe Photoshop 6.0 and 7.0; other versions may differ slightly.)
