TIP OF THE DAY

Filling Shortcuts
You can fill the contents of a selection or a layer in Photoshop using the Fill option within the Edit menu, but there is a quicker way. By holding down the Alt (PC)/Option (Mac) key and pressing the Delete key you can fill the selection area or layer with the current foreground colour. Holding down the Control (PC)/Command (Mac) key and pressing Delete will fill the selection area or layer with the current background layer. You can invert the foreground and background colours by pressing the X key.
