Quickly Switch Windows in Photoshop

If you find it frustrating you can’t switch between active windows in Photoshop by pressing Command+Tilde (Command+~), you’re not alone.

Thankfully there’s a few quick shortcuts nearby that accomplish the same thing:

• Command+Shift+Tilde
• Control+Tab
• Control+Tilde

Are there many Photoshop users out there? More or less Photoshop tips?

   No, I want Pixelmaror tips! You gave me the software, after all, don't you know anything about it?
   
   Don't mean to be mean (tee hee... that sounded funny), I love Pixelmator- although I am wondering where my tip is!! (to jog your memory, it's about scripting your login items or saving text you've entered on a webpage, but probably the first one). Thank you so much! May 8th, 2008 at 5:51 pm

   I imagine these 4 votes were from PS users?
   
   I vote for less 3rd-party software tips in general.
   
   According to your poll, there are more readers here who have used Macs less than six months than readers who have used Macs for more than four years.
   How many of those less-than-6-monthers are using this $650 app?
   
   Hey, put me in the 15+ years category, but PS is still not in my arsenal!

   It's good. It's very good. It's Photoshop "for the rest of us".
   Brad has a great review/intro, which includes a video, that you should check out:

   [...] which is the application Drew wrote in about. command-~ doesn’t work, but luckily over on mactips.com they explain how to switch windows in Photoshop. I think it’s actually a programming error, [...]

    Does anybody know what the shortcut name / space is? Is it possible to delegate this shortcut back to the ~ via the edit-menu?
    
    And why is it impossible to tab between save dialogs? Anybody? August 6th, 2008 at 8:54 am
