Check it out, it totally works! The shift key probably just restricts the mouse movement to a purely horizontal or vertical axis as with several other shortcuts in Photoshop.Sara Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435154520466010774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28416661.post-47797160252477294692011-07-01T04:16:25.529-05:002011-07-01T04:16:25.529-05:00Tahnks !!!!

To get 100% hit 0, and for in-between numbers like 55 just hit the two numbers quickly in succession. You have to have the brush tool selected. This also works with layer opacity when you have the selection tool active and a layer selected, and with the eraser tool and several others that I can't think of right now.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05616413796546515247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28416661.post-50369616700343279482010-09-07T20:30:48.437-05:002010-09-07T20:30:48.437-05:00is there a keyboard shortcut like this for opacity...is there a keyboard shortcut like this for opacity?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28416661.post-85210212354413594402010-08-07T11:45:29.211-05:002010-08-07T11:45:29.211-05:00Figured it out.
