I get so much great information from both the forum and the video tips that I think will stick in my mind forever. Doesn't happen - then I spend a lot of time finding and reviewing the information.
The solution I came up with might be worth passing on.
Create a Word document and save as PSE Forum Info. Then when someone on the forum offers a way to do something, even if I don't need that information at the moment, I select the info, copy and paste into the Word document. I highlight, bold and enlarge that portion of the info that would identify it when I go looking for info.
Similar process for info from the video tips - I stop the video and go to the PSE Member Tips document I created in Word and write a brief step by step.
Now I only have 2 documents in one folder to search for information that I want to review.
Example from my PSE Member Tips Word Document:
From Matt K’s Video on Keystroke Shortcuts
1.Open an image – dbl click in gray area and select from open dialog box.
2.Only if the image is not maximized – you will see a title bar – right click on title bar for resize, duplicate and other choices
3.Zoom an image Ctrl + zooms in Ctrl – zooms out
4.Ctrl Alt 0 will get you back to 100%
5.Holding down Spacebar will enable moving within enlarged image
6.Ctrl R – toggles rulers on and off
7.Options Bar – right click on image and options for selected tool will appear
