Graphic Design Tips 1. Quite possibly the best shortcut for designers & computer users is that of Apple + Tab (for Mac users) or Alt + Tab (for PC users). This shortcut allows you to shuffle through open programs seamlessly without the trouble of hiding or minimizing the program you're currently in. 2. Adjustment layers are wonderful tools to use in Photoshop, but some features (like "Shadow/Highlight" aren't available). Instead of permanently altering you file by using that feature, covert the layer into a "Smart Object". Simple Apple + Click (Mac) or Cntrl + Click on the layer, & select convert to smart object. This will give you the ability to go back in later & tweak the "Shadow/Highlight" adjustment. Smart objects also give you the same flexibility with filters as well!
