only half a tip now. the answer will come later on...

Question: given that you can use Shift to Add to a selection, and Alt Subtracts from a selection; given also that Shift restraints the ellipse marquee to a circle, and that Alt makes you start drawing from the centre: how will you, using only these keys, the grid an snap to on, and your mouse/pen to drag, draw a square selection and add a circle exactly to the centre of one of its corners?

It's simply a question of dragging, pressing, letting go, pressing again etc.

[righton] well I think I figured it out, but I'll tell ya it aint easy and you need good dexterity with your fingers !

Hopefully Erik, you have an easier way than the key combo I used? (hopefully! heh) look forward to your method

Kalrog

good question Erik

yeah VP thats a tricky one...yep you gotta be quick on the keyb. [stuned]

I have 2 different methods but the tricky one was fun to do

Kalrog

uhmm did the above image ever make sense here? [confused]

We're all good piano players, aren't we?
Hehehe

Indeed, if you don't use the correct sequence, you're stuck.

Just let some other friends join us. It's fun to try out things like that. Besides: it's a method I often use, and thanks to it, I did find this &@???!???$?? Win2K shortcut that caused me so much...

I looove shortcuts.
Ctrl+H wow
Ctrl+" to show/hide the grid
Ctrl+Alt+Shift while booting to get rid of your prefs file
Shift and +or- to cycle through the blending modes

etc etc...

the more you know, the more you can work in Full Screen mode.

cool Looking forward to seeing if we are all using the same method!!!

I'll be watching this thread like a hawk!

Erik:
Isn't Ctrl+Alt+' to show/hide the grid?

Bacardi

I use Ctrl+" and it works...in PS7 that is. May be different in PS6, dunno...as I already deleted that from my biomech HDD.
I know that in most shortcut lists they use your one.
