TIP
Did You Know?
The default gradient always uses the current foreground
and background colors in the toolbar. Set the foreground
color before you select the Gradient tool and then press G
to quickly select the Gradient tool. You can also access
the other tools in the toolbar by pressing a specific letter,
such as V for the Move tool or Z for the Zoom tool. When
multiple tools are grouped together, like the Spot Healing
Brush, the Healing Brush, the Patch tool, and the Red Eye
tool, you can press the one-letter keyboard shortcut to
access the first tool and then repeatedly Shift+press the
letter to cycle through all the grouped tools.
