A tiny Photoshop trivia
After over fifteen years of using Photoshop I just today discovered that, in the layers palette, dragging the lock symbol from the background into the trash at the bottom of the palette will convert it to a layer! But of course you all knew that already didn't you ....... 
And if you didn't ........ think how much richer your life is now you do ........

You don't even need to go to the effort of dragging it to the crash - just click on it. |

Clicking the lock doesn't work here. Double clicking it, or indeed double clicking anywhere on the background in the palette does it - that's the technique I've always used. But the lock drag was completely new to me. I was intrigued because it seems so unnecessary when simply double clicking the background, which I suspect is what we all do, is enough.  _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

And if you ALT+double click, you can bypass the New Layer dialog box (defaulting to name 'layer 0')! _________________ Lonnie |

Single click on the lock removes it in CC 2014 ... with earlier versions it needed a double click. _________________ "Why so serious?" The Dark Knight |

Why do they keep moving the goalposts on established basics that are second nature to everyone? I'd really prefer to not re-learn changed basics as well as learn new stuff ........ ....... doubtless far greater intellects than I are in force here .... _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |
