Hold down the alt/Option key while the brush is selected to sample a color. but it also opens up the options for on screen resizing of brushes, live updates, faster scrolling, redraws and zooming. So it not only results in faster screen redraws, smoother painting etc. The GPU is equipped to run these types of processes with effortless ease. This takes a lot of the graphical load off of the main processer (CPU) and reroutes it to the Graphics card. Also on the performance end of things is the extensive use of the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). So if you are working on large files, or files consisting of multiple composited images, you will be able to take advantage of more RAM. 64 bit removes the 4Gig of RAM bottleneck. Not the type you are perhaps thinking though. What does this mean? It means a performance boost. Actually all the Adobe CS5 products are 64 bit. What’s worth mentioning is that Photoshop is 64 bit native on Mac and Windows. Any features that will change your life, or any tips to save you time? Read on.
