CRACKING THE EASTER EGG MYSTERY
Easter Eggs are usually funny little messages hidden within an application (engineer humor just cracks us up). Photoshop has a few of its own, but one of the lesser-known Easter Eggs is “Merlin Lives.” To see this Easter Egg, go to the Paths palette, hold the Option key (PC: Alt key), and in the palette's pop-down menu, choose Palette Options. When you do, a tiny floating palette will appear with a picture of Merlin and just one button named “Begone,” which closes the dialog. I have to party with those engineer guys.
