PUT YOUR GRADIENT PICKER AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

Want to make the Gradient Picker appear where your cursor is in your image window? You can do this when you have the Gradient tool (G) active, allowing access to your gradient library, by Control-clicking (PC: Right-clicking) within your image area. It also works with the Custom Shape Picker. Here's an even slicker trick: You can use the Return or Enter key instead to bring up the Gradient or Custom Shape Pickers.
