Change Photoshop CS6 Dark Interface Color Scheme to Light

Posted: 20 Apr 2012 11:29 AM PDT

Change Photoshop CS6 Color Theme

Don’t like the dark user interface and color scheme of the Photoshop CS6 beta? You can easily change it by cycling through four different theme choices, ranging from the default darkest grey, dark grey, medium grey, and light gray.

Hit Shift+Function+F2 to lighten the Photoshop UI or Shift+Function+F1 to darken the interface elements. If you’re averse to keyboard commands, you can find the interface options within Photoshop Preferences as well.

Mac Multi-Touch Gestures

Most Macs have multi-touch capabilities these days, allowing for gestures to perform common tasks that would otherwise require keyboard shortcuts or additional clicking about. To use the gestures, you’ll obviously need a Mac with multitouch capabilities, that means either a newish laptop with a trackpad, Magic Trackpad, or Magic Mouse. Some gestures require OS X Lion or later to use, and some gestures may have to be enabled manually in the System Preferences > Trackpad control panel. Without further ado, here’s a bunch of helpful gestures for Mac OS X and commonly used Mac apps:
