Screen Mode Shortcuts

I use the different screen modes every single day, but it's not very often that I actually click those three little toolbox icons. Instead, I use keyboard commands. Just press the F key on your keyboard to cycle through the different screen modes. You can even press F twice and then press the Tab key while an image is opening; that way, when it's done loading, Photoshop will switch to the third screen mode and rid your screen of all the palettes!

Now that you have your screen under control, we can start to explore some of the tools and palettes.
