The Photoshop CS2 Help Desk Book

Okay, let's review this one more time, shall we? If you haven't started using a tool yet, go through a quick checklist before you start:

• Check the tool's settings in the Options Bar.

• Check the Layers palette to make sure everything is "as it should be."

• Check to see if you do have or should have something selected.

On the other hand, if you've encountered a problem and you want to try to figure out why it has happened , go through a quick checklist:

• Check the tool's settings in the Options Bar.

• Check the Layers palette to make sure that everything is "as it should be."

• Check to see if you do have or should have something selected.

Just as saving multilayered PSD files should be an every-day work habit, so too should this checklist method become part of your everyday work in Photoshop CS2.
