Photoshop Q&A
Q: I find that sometimes it’s easier to work
in tiled view and then switch back to
tabbed view, so I’m always switching
back and forth. Is there a way to make
this switch a little easier?
A: You could assign a keyboard shortcut to each view
and then just press the shortcut to switch to the
view. To do this, go to Edit>Keyboard Shortcuts,
set the Shortcuts For drop-down menu to Applica-
tion Menus, and then look under Window to find
the Arrange commands. Choose the tiling option
you want (Tile All Vertically in this example) and
assign a keyboard shortcut.
It may be easiest to use F-key shortcuts
for these, recognizing that F-keys can also be
applied to actions, which would override these
shortcuts. (So the simple solution is to use F-keys
for these commands and remember not to apply
them to any future actions.) Then assign a short-
cut to Consolidate All to Tabs. Now whenever
you want to switch to tiled view, press the F-key
you assigned, and then to return to tabbed view,
press the shortcut for that arrangement.ALL IMAGES BY DAVE CROSS
