Photoshop 6 and ImageReady 3 allow you to choose from three different Redo shortcuts via the General Preferences. You can switch the Redo keystroke to match ImageReady, match Microsoft style, or remain Photoshop style.

Note: Picking anything other than Photoshop style removes the ability to undo and redo history via the keyboard. If you decide to use an option other that Photoshop style, you can still use the History palette to perform multiple undo and redo.

The default in Photoshop 6 is that (Cmd + Z) [Ctrl + Z] toggles between undo and redo of the last thing you did. The default in ImageReady for (Cmd + Z) [Ctrl + Z] is set to multiple undo.

Here is what happens when you change the preferences:

Redo Key Preference setting	History State Backward	History State Forward	Toggle Undo/Redo
(Cmd + Z)	(Cmd + Option+ Z)	(Cmd + Shift+ Z)	(Cmd + Z)
[Ctrl + Z]	[Ctrl+ Alt + Z]	[Ctrl + Shift + Z]	[Ctrl + Z]
(Toggles Undo/Redo)
(Cmd + Shift + Z)	(Cmd + Z)	(Cmd + Shift + Z)	(Cmd + Option + Z)
[Ctrl + Shift + Z]	[Ctrl + Z]	[Ctrl + Shift + Z]	[Ctrl + Alt + Z]
(Cmd + Y)	(Cmd + Z)	(Cmd + Y)	(Cmd + Option + Z)
[Ctrl + Y]	[Ctrl + Z]	[Ctrl + Y]	[Ctrl + Alt + Z]

Fade

Menu: Edit Fade name of the filter or command

Mac: Cmd + Shift + F

Win: Ctrl + Shift + F

This is a great shortcut to adjust the intensity of a particular effect, such as a brush stroke or filter, by playing with the opacity or the blend mode of the applied effect. "Fade" is something of a misnomer because the command can also add intensity (for example, raising the opacity a brush stroke applied at 35% to 70%). In Photoshop 5.5, you'll find the menu item under the Filter menu.
