Using tool tips

The tool tips feature lets you display the name of tools, or buttons and controls in palettes.
To identify a tool or control:
Position the pointer over a tool or control and pause. A tool tip appears showing the name and keyboard shortcut (if any) for the item.
If tool tips don't appear, the preference for displaying them may be turned off.
To display tool tips:
1. Choose Edit > Preferences > General (Windows and Mac OS 9) or Photoshop > Preferences > General (Mac OS X).
2. Select Show Tool Tips, and click OK.
Note: Tool tips are not available in most dialog boxes.
