#Storyboard Tip: switch between Normal (Shift+Opt+N) and Behind (Shift+Opt+Q) w/ assigned wacom keys for sketch & fill brushes

#Photoshop Tip: use ‘File > Scripts > Load Files Into Stack’ to import images & then distribute them to separate layers (gr8 for references)

#Photoshop Tip: use the TAB key to toggle pallets…but the cool thing is…hover cursor near the screen’s edge to bring them back briefly : )

#Photoshop Tip: keys 1-0 set opacity between 10-100%; click 2 keys quickly for 1-10% which is useful for sensitive tools such as burn/dodge

#Photoshop Tip for greyscale #storyboard: sketch w/ paint brush set to ‘Behind’ mode, toggle grey w/ X key to paint fill (still in Behind)

#Photoshop Tip: to select color anywhere on screen activate + drag eyedropper from PS; especially useful to match greys in boards via Bridge

#Photoshop Tip: find forgotten/rogue massive files by scanning your hard drives with the free Mac app: Disk Inventory X derlien.com
