Two Questions

[tbark]

My apologies if these questions have already been answered on the forum,- I've looked but have been unable to find any references to them.
1) If multiple images are open in PL, is there a quick way to switch between them similar to the tab feature in Photoshop?
2) If I want to print multiple layers on a background, (eg. 4 copies of an greeting card measuring 6x8 inches on a Super B page measuring 13x19 inches) is there some way of placing corner crop marks with each layer so that after printing I know where to cut the page to get the cards? I could add a small border to each layer, but that can be harder to trim with a cutter, than using corner crop marks.

Afaik, there is no keyboard shortcut for switching documents (yet).

But maybe the "View" palette is useful? It contains a thumbnail of every open document, and clicking on the thumbnail brings the corresponding document window to the foreground.

Crop marks can be switched on via "Print Markers …" in the layout menu.

I use Alt+Tab and Alt+Shift+Tab to switch between documents. But I can't remember if this is todays standard behaviour or if I did change my keyboard-layout. YOu could change it with "edit > options > usage > keybaord layout"

Afaik, there is no keyboard shortcut for switching documents (yet).

On Mac OS X there are the standard (system-wide) shortcuts Cmd+'<' and Cmd+'>'.
On Windows there are no default shortcuts, but you can define your own to the menu commands "Window/Next" and "Window/Previous" by using "Edit/Options/Usage/Keyboard Layout".

Thanks Burkhard, Hoogo and Martin.
In switching between open images, Burkhard's suggestion to use the thumbnails in the View palette does work as well as Photoshop's tabs, but I'll also try setting up some keyboard shortcuts as soon as I can.
I'll try Burkhard's suggestions for the crop marks later today, and let you know if this works.
Thanks again for your help

Hmm... Isn't Cmd+` and Shift+Cmd+` (key above Tab) working for you? This is standard OSX shortcut to switch between active application windows.

Btw. Cmd+Tab suggested by the predecessor is actually shortcut to switch between running applications.

Thanks Ono,- I'm using a Windows PC so I guess I'll have to define the keyboard shortcuts, unless you know of one.
