Here are some cool one step Photoshop Tips that every user must know. These tips will surely reduce your working time.

1. To fill your image or new document completely with background colour just press
Ctrl + Backspace and to fill it with foreground colour press Alt + backspace.

2. To draw or trace a straight line press Shift and move your mouse in the direction you want to create your line. This trick works with Pen Tool, Polygonal Lasso Tool, Pencil Tool, Eraser, Brush Tool, History Brush Tool.

3. If you created many different paths with Pen Tool in an image and want to transform all paths to selections at once, click on Paths tab (next to Channels tab), then do Ctrl + Left click on the "work path" and all your paths will be converted into selections.
4. It works fine if you want to maximize your work area...
Hit TAB key and it hides all the palettes, Shift+TAB hides all except the Tools Palette, and if you have multiple images open, you can switch between them by pressing CTRL+TAB.

5. Suppose you have different texts layers and want to change the font of all text layers. If you don't know this trick, you'll have to select the Type tool, highlight the type, and change them one by one. But with this trick, you can chnage them all in one step. Here it is :-

Link all your type layers that you want to change. Make sure one of the linked layers is active. Now, select the Type tool. Hold down the Shift key, change the type settings (font, size, etc). All the Type layers will change accordingly. (Do not highlight anything with the Type tool...just go straight to the options and change them.)

Note :- To link Layers, press Ctrl and then Left Click on the layers you want to link without releasing Ctrl button. Then at the bottom of layers pallette there is a chain like icon, just click on it and all your layers will be linked.
