Q: Is there a way to toggle back and
forth between two brushes using
a keyboard shortcut?
A: As long as the brushes are adjacent to each other in the
Brush Picker, there’s a way to use the keyboard to switch
between the two brushes. Press the. (period) key to go
to the next brush and press the , (comma) key to go to
the previous brush.
Tip: One easy way to remember this is to look at the
Greater Than (>) and Less Than (<) symbols that appear
above the Period and Comma keys, and think of these as
arrows to remind you of the direction for brush selection.

Q: When I increase the leading in a paragraph
of text, it increases the spacing between all
the lines of text. But how do I add more space
just between each paragraph, without adding
another Return?
A: First select all your text and then go to the Paragraph
panel (Window>Paragraph). At the bottom of this panel,
you’ll see two options for adding extra space above and
extra space below a paragraph. This is “live,” so you
can experiment by entering different values to get the
effect you want. Note: Like many text settings, this one
is “sticky,” which means the setting will remain as you
set it until you edit it again. n

Next, turn the copy ghost
layer back on and lower the
layer’s Opacity until you get
the look you want.
Tip: If you were mov-
ing the selected ghost to
a different image, you
wouldn’t have to include
the Content-Aware Fill step.
