Tim Who gets confused? If you mean you get a nice animation, you need to let go of the F key pretty fast after double-clicking. Alternatively, use Cmd+F+O but that means the file must be preselected in the FB. > 5. I browse and flag the pix I want to use but would like to rate them > 1-9 as well.

Save F1 for most used action. IMC, I use to dupe documents. Tab will hide/show palettes.

I'm always after the pen+ tool :-( !! > After all it works on the lassoo and most other tools !!! You don't need them. Just hover over an anchor point or a path. Opt will give you access to the Convert Anchor Point tool. > 8. Keyboard shortcut to toggle between browser and image? This one is bit of a mystery. Use Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts to allocate Cmd+Shift+O to the File Browser under Windows. Accept the change. Instead of just opening the FB, it will now show/hide it. The shortcut will disappear from the File menu but will be added to the Window menu. No great loss, AFAIKS. > 9. Actions involving JPEGs and Save as seem counter-intuititive.

How many times have I forgotten to tick the "Overide > Actions "Save As" Commands" box and ended up with an empty folder !! This is a features request. You need to go to the Adobe site and make your request. IMO, Photoshop needs the Batch command to be thoroughly updated because it confuses too many people. When you are batching, Photoshop should use hard coding primarily and let you use actions if you wish. Hard coding would let you choose items from a menu and then allow you to name and save your settings.
