Illustrator CS2 Killer Tips

In many of Illustrator's Effect and Filter menu options, you can "start over" without closing the dialog that appears by pressing the Option key (PC: Alt key). The Cancel button will change to Reset click Reset to revert all the settings to their default. For instance, we selected an object and chose Effect>Artistic>Dry Brush. After we changed a few of the settings, we decided to revert to the default settings using this tip. To find out which effects or filters dialogs this works in, try it!
