#41: Merlin Lives! A Photoshop Easter Egg Mystery

Posted on 1:21 AM by Daniy

Easter Eggs are usually funny little messages hidden within an application and Photoshop has a few of its own. One of the lesser known Easter Eggs is "Merlin Lives". You can see this Easter Egg by going to the Paths palette, and hold the Alt [Mac: Option] key, and in the palettes drop down menu, choose Palette Options. Make sure you click and drag without releasing the mouse button or the menu will disappear as you release it.

A tiny floating palette will appear with a picture of Merlin and a button named "Begone", which closes the dialog. Whew... I’m wondering what else those engineers have beside this Merlin and that Dark Matter.
