Adobe Moved The 'Show Tool Tips' Option In Photoshop CS3
Adobe made some drastic changes to the user interface in Photoshop CS3, leaving many long-time Photoshop users feeling like beginners again. But whether you really are new to Photoshop or just a little confused about where everything is in Photoshop CS3, having the Tool Tips option enabled is a great way to help you find what you're looking for. With Tool Tips enabled, which it is by default, Photoshop pops up either the name or a brief description of the various user interface items as you hover your mouse over them. While Tool Tips can certainly be helpful, they can also be annoying to anyone who no longer needs them. Fortunately, we can easily turn the Tool Tips on or off from within Photoshop's Preferences.
If you've upgraded to Photoshop CS3 from a previous version of Photoshop and you knew where to find the "Show Tool Tips" option before, you'll find that Adobe has moved it in CS3. They've added a new section to Photoshop's Preferences called Interface, and the "Show Tool Tips" option has been moved to the new section. Go up to the Edit (Win) / Photoshop (Mac
) menu at the top of the screen, choose Preferences, and then choose Interface. You'll find the Show Tool Tips option near the top of the dialog box in the "General" section. Click inside the checkbox to the left of the option's name to show or hide the Tool Tips. With the checkmark visible, the Tool Tips are enabled. When the checkmark is not visible, the Tool Tips are disabled:
Photoshop Tips: The "Show Tool Tips" option has been moved to the new "Interface" section of Photoshop CS3's Preferences.
Click OK to exit out of the dialog box when you're done. If you're using Photoshop CS2 or earlier, check out our Photoshop CS2 tip for the option's original location.
