You don't know the knowledge of Photoshop cold

I've been trying to keep this article open lately, about the discovery and application of the PS cold knowledge is basically from the use of peacetime, many years also mastered a lot of (cough ...), but the reason for hesitation is that there is still no systematic way to string up these techniques, this time, I hope this article can bring you the interest to explore ~

The main combination of key, PS hidden functions are through these "combination technology" started, according to the statistical proficiency of the use of a series of combination technology will allow you to improve the efficiency of 30% (pure fiction). Some of the more difficult to understand I have produced a GIF dynamic diagram, due to the size of the problem, the quality is not very good, but as long as you can see the meaning of God horse is good! According to the diagram, we'll try it out on our own.

Just tried it, may be the size of the relationship, there are a few pictures may sometimes appear will not move the situation, in order not to affect the effect I put these pictures in the attachment, you can download.

　　1. Adjust the brushes in the canvas to various parameters

About brushes, used PS people basically know a few shortcuts, such as CTRL + "[", "]" Adjust the size of the brush, and so on, this time I brought the method is more convenient than that, not only the size of the adjustment, together with the hardness and color can be completed in the canvas adjustment.

Method:

① hold ALT + right mouse button in the canvas--a red dot appears on the canvas at this time, dot represents the size and hardness of your brush (more solid, more virtual more soft), drag the mouse left and right to adjust the brush size, drag up and down to adjust the hardness, the following figure.

② hold the alt+shift+ right mouse button--At this point you will find a color selection box next to the mouse, yes! Now you can adjust the color! Press and hold the right button, move the mouse to the desired color, as shown below.

2. Combination use of small fingers

Holding down the space bar to turn the mouse into a small hand drag and drop the canvas has been quite popular usage, almost every PS player has to use, but its key combination is rarely known, this time for you to bring a small hand of the combination of one level: global drag-and-even zoom to a large percentage of the view can still be instantaneous to reach any position on the canvas.

The method is: Hold down the space bar to turn the mouse into small fingers, then hold down a "Z" and then press the mouse--then you'll find that the view is back to the global, the mouse becomes a small box, this small box is the area you can currently display, drag the mouse to the place you want to go, and then let go of you ~

　　3. Additional usage of free transform

This one is a bit of the same old, but it is estimated that there will be no know, here again, ctrl+t to make a free transformation once, with Ctrl+shift+t can repeat the last transformation, with CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+T can be implemented to replicate the body and repeat the effect of the last transformation, the following figure.

　4. Use shift to accelerate drag

Do not know if you have encountered this problem, and sometimes in order to align the details have to put a large view, this time to drag a layer or constituency waiting for another place to go through a long wait, looking at the following scroll bar Shing walk really worried na ... In fact this time just hold down SHIFT, you will find the scroll bar whizzing past ~ This technique requires a few more practice, because the drag-and-drop speed after holding shift is really very fast, may not pay attention to overdo it, so we suggest you can click the next point rather than have been pressed, the specific effect we look at the figure below ( Watch the scroll bar position.

　　5. The pen tool draws transforms the folding point

A small trick, when using the Pen tool, hold down the mouse and drag the node to press ALT, you can achieve a transition to the current node, the following figure.

　　6. Use ALT to select lock layer

Lock layers Most of the time because you don't want to move it anymore, but sometimes really need to move it may be because of too many layers and can not find, even if the direct selection of the selected layer can not be selected locked, this time just hold down ALT on the canvas click on the locked layer can be selected, not only that, In fact, the locked layer can still do some operations, such as merging, as shown below.

This issue of cold knowledge is introduced here, the additional share of a summary of the three functions of the key shift, Ctrl, alt semantics incomplete summary, in fact, sometimes according to the semantics of three functional keys can guess some of the functions of shortcut keys, a try a quasi-son ~
