Hide Guides and Things from View?

There’s a handy shortcut that pretty much hides everything and gives you a clean, unobstructed view of your image: it’s Command-H (PC: Ctrl-H). It’s easy to remember—H for hide. Note: If you’re a Mac user, the first time you press Command-H, a dialog pops up (seen in the overlay above) and asks you if you want this shortcut to hide extras in Photoshop or do you want it to hide Photoshop altogether (because Command-H is a global Mac OS standard shortcut for hiding the current application from view). I went ahead and clicked Hide Extras to switch it, so Command-H hides my guides and stuff in Photoshop, but of course, the one you choose (the red pill or the blue pill) is entirely up to you and your workflow. Again, this only affects Mac folks, so if you’re a Windows user, your keyboard shortcut is just plain ol’ uncomplicated Ctrl-H.
