Choose Thumbnail FoldersTHE ANNOYANCE: I'd like Windows to show thumbnails of all the photos in a particular folder, as well as the contents of all subfolders. Is there a way to set this as the default view?THE FIX: Not really. Windows Explorer has two ways of remembering your settings: you can set defaults for all folders, and you can save the specific settings you choose for any individual folder. While there's no way to set the view settings for, say, a single folder branch on your hard disk, there are a few workarounds.First, Windows Explorer should always show the contents of your My Pictures folder (and all its subfolders) as thumbnails, so you can get the desired result by storing all your digital photos in My Pictures.Alternatively, you can use a dedicated image viewer, such as ACDSee to view your photo folders. It'll display the contents of all your folders as thumbnails, meaning that you no longer have to worry about how and when Windows Explorer turns photos into thumbnails.

THE ANNOYANCE: I turned on the "Remember each folder's view settings" checkbox, as described in "Get the Details View Every Time," but it doesn't take long for Explorer to forget the settings I've set for a specific folder.THE FIX: Explorer stores folder view settings in the Registry and, alas, not in the folders themselves. This awkward design has two rather silly drawbacks. First, if you move or rename a folder, its view settings revert to Explorer's defaults. Second, by default the view settings can be stored for a maximum of only 400 folders on your system. While this may seem like a lot, this limit can quickly be consumed, particularly since an individual folder eats up an additional slot in the Registry each time it's moved or renamed.To raise the limit, you'll need to mess around in the Registry. Open the Registry Editor (go to Start Run and type regedit), and then navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell. Create a new value by selecting Edit New DWORD Value, and, in the right pane, type BagMRU Size for the name. Double-click the new value, select the Decimal option, type the number of folders you'd like Explorer to remember (e.g., 5000) in the "Value data" field, and click OK. Next, repeat the process for the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam key. Close the Registry Editor when you're done.

NEED TO SHRINK THE FILE SIZE? USE TRANSPARENCY Want a killer tip for squeezing even more size out of your GIF Web images? Make something transparent. That's right, if you can pick an area of your image to make transparent, your file size will drop like a rock. For example, if you're putting a logo over a white background and you can make the white area around the logo transparent, your file size will be significantly smaller. The transparent areas are virtually ignored when determining file size, because, after all, there's nothing there.

HOW TO USE RGB FILTERS ON GRAYSCALE IMAGES If you're working on grayscale images, you'll find there are some Photoshop filters that won't work (they're grayed out, so you can't access them). Of course, it's always the really cool filters, such as Lens Flare and Lighting Effects, that are grayed out. But don't be dismayed (in fact, be "mayed") because you can still use those filtersjust switch to RGB mode, run the filters, then switch back to Grayscale mode. It won't affect the color of your image because, well, there is no coloryou're working on a grayscale image. Switching to RGB doesn't suddenly pour color onto your image; your grayscale image will still look grayscale in RGB. When you switch back to Grayscale mode (after applying the filters), you'll get a warning asking, "Discard color information?" You can safely click OK, because after all, there was no color to begin with.
