a brush properties (options) box that’s always open,

Right click to get the size and hardness sliders.
The brush palette stays on all the time in newer versions of Photoshop Use [ and ] to change the size
Use Shift+[ and shift+] to change the hardness
Numbers to change the opacity (all this also in V6, IIRC) Using a Wacom tablet might give you such options by rotating, tilting or pressure, plus the new touch sliders.

b) a way to toggle a pair of layers

If you do not need to see the other layers, but just switch between those two, just ALT+Click the eye on the layers palette (Also in V6)

Scripting might be a solution, there is a scripting forum for PS: <http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?13@@.3bbf2765>

According to official blog posts, the "Next" version of Photoshop is supposed to get UI changes.

Good although I’ve now been using …

Use [ and ] to change the size

…. which is very useful (thanks, I didn’t know that one). Hopefully CS2/3 has improved this function a bit; brush sizes offered are 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 20 30, and of course one of my sweet spots for this project is brush size of 15-17 🙂

b) a way to toggle a pair of layers If you do not need to see the other layers, but just switch between those two, just ALT+Click the eye on the layers palette (Also in V6)

yah, I use that, but often I really want to see the other layers too …

BTW, when using the brush, is there a way to restrict the (alt-click)sampling tool to the current/active layer only? I have other visible layers on top of the active layer but don’t want to sample the "composite" colour.
