I only learned this three months ago, but I use it all the time now. Create a new layer, hold down alt and select layer>merge visible. This will merge all layers onto your new layer without getting rid of the old ones.
Was new to me and VERY useful.

Is that the same as using ctrl+alt+shift+E
? |

Ctrl+alt+shift+E...ya...why wasn't that freaking obvious to me? (sarcasm) Ya, turns out it does the same thing. "Stamp visible" is what the history line says on both. Well, so now I have an easter egg on my easter egg. :)
Here's another silly one I just learned literally a few weeks ago. "[" and "]" will make your brush, clone, or whatever a progressively larger or smaller radius each time you hit it. That's one's really helpful for me.

Yup, and doing the same thing while holding shift will change the hardness of your brush. |

Hey! Just discovered this one by total accident. Double right clicking the magnifying glass tool will automatically zoom to 100%.

Ya, I found that one in an online tutorial. It also works in bridge RAW converter.
Also, double clicking on the hand zooms to fit the image on-screen. |

I was just watching the waterdrop tutorial from this thread.
If you're using the paint brush, using the:
[ = will make the brush bigger
] = will make the brush smaller
This makes sense since those keys also change the font size in other programs. |

Not only the brush, but for the clone stamp tool, spot-healing tool, etc. I use those keys all the time...a great time saver.

Yea I figured there was still, they have been using that "egg" since about v3 or v4...

Take a screen capture of the alternative splash screen, paste it into a new image and run a levels adjustment on it. Specifically, grab the shadow input slider and drag all the way to the right. (might be a CS3-only thing)

one of my favorites when straightening a shot:
use the ruler tool to run a line along your crooked horizon, or other straight line in your image
The Image:Rotate Canvas:Arbitrary will automatically have the correct measurement to straighten your image to that line.

Cool, moving the highlight slider to the left reveals pet tracks and the credit for the alternative screen too. |
