Save laptop battery - reduce screen brightness
To save the battery of your laptor you can reduce the brightness of the LCD screen. This will increase the battery life for at least 50%.
Also, make sure to put a blank screensaver with short timeout (something like 1 minute) - no need to waste battery when you're not working.
Using tilde sign (~) in google
Using tilde extends your search to similar words as well. Very useful when you know there are several words that describe what you're looking for.
For example, if you'll search for "~movie", you will get results which use words similar to movie - such as "film", "video", "DVD", and so on. Try it!
Copying layer from one image to another
Copying a layer between images is really easy - all you have to do is:
1. Select the source image
2. Open the layers toolbox window
3. Drag the layer from the layers window to the target image window.
Note that this doesn't work with 'background' layers, but you can create normal layers from those just by double-clicking them and selecting OK.
