Another 10 Photoshop Shortcuts |
Another 10 Photoshop Shortcuts
By Shaun Pearce
In my last article, I highlighted my top 10 Photoshop Keyboard
shortcuts. In this article, I'd like to share the second 10 of my Top 20:
1. To hide the 'marching ants' (selection marquee). Press Ctrl/Cmd+H
2. If you want to move a selection to its own layer. Press Cmd/Ctrl+J to
copy the selection. To cut and move a selection, press Shift+Cmd/Ctrl+J
3. To auto-select a layer. Hold down the Cmd/Ctrl key while clicking on
a layer in the Photoshop main image window
4. To toggle between the Eraser tools press Cmd/Ctrl E.
5. To duplicate your current layer, press Cmd/Ctrl J.
6. To run Auto Contrast, press Shift-Cmd-Option-L (Mac)/
Shift-Ctrl-Alt-L (PC).
7. To Save for Web, press Shift-Cmd-Option-S (Mac)/ Shift-Ctrl-Alt-S (PC).
8. To toggle between Photoshop and ImageReady, press Shift-Cmd/Ctrl-M
9. Press Shift-Y to toggle between the History brush and the Art History
brush.
10. To change the brush size, press the [ ] keys. If you hold down the
shift key and the [ or ] keys, the brush gets softer or harder. (You can
change the level up to five times).
