18 useful Photoshop shortcuts

Today, when it comes to image processing, everyone will think of Photoshop, or even Photoshop.
This exclusive term is widely used as a verb or adjective. I am also a guy who basically cannot leave Photoshop. Every image on this blog is basically from
Photoshop. Today, I saw this article 18 predictionally useful Photoshop on the Internet.
Shortcuts, which is very useful, can be translated and shared with you.

　　For beginners and advanced users, using Photoshop usually consumes a lot of time.
When
After using Photoshop for a while, you will find that you often click the same menu or panel button repeatedly. If you want to switch the tool frequently, you will find that you are
The time spent on Photoshop is not spent on photos-most of the time is wasted on switching the editing tool. Fortunately, we have a way to make your work smoother.

　　When you switch tools or adjust properties, the keyboard command or shortcut is the best solution to replace the mouse.
Most
First, you may feel uncomfortable. Once you have mastered some keyboard commands, you will never use the mouse to perform these operations. The best solution is to place one hand on the mouse, while the other hand uses the keyboard to complete the other
Some operations. Using Photoshop in this way can reduce the time you spend in front of your computer, so that you can spend more time taking photos.

　　The following 18 shortcuts are commonly used in three groups: simple, intermediate, and advanced.
"Simple
"Single" commands are very easy to master and will be frequently used; "advanced" commands may be difficult, and I am not very often used. The "intermediate" command is between the two. It should be emphasized again that these areMe
Common Photoshop shortcuts. I only work in Photoshop CS3 (CS2
It should be roughly the same) the PC version (Sorry, Mac users) has passed the verification. For more information about shortcuts, see the following article:

　　Simple Photoshop shortcut commands

　　H
(Hand tool )-
After you zoom in to a certain size, this command can activate the hand tool to allow you to quickly drag and drop to view the image. In addition, when the hand tool

To narrow down the image.

　　Z
(Zoom tool)-This command can activate zoom
Tool (magnifiers) to zoom in. If you press the Alt key, you can zoom out.

　　CTRL + 0
(Suitable for screens )-
This operation allows you to quickly display the entire image. Note that this is Ctrl + zero instead of subtitle O.

　　B
(Brush tool )-
The brush tool is especially useful when you operate on layers. In this case, I often switch between the three tools of H z B.

　　CTRL + z
(Undo the previous step )-
It is useful when you make small mistakes.

　　Tab
(Display/hide panel )-
Hiding a panel gives you more work areas, reducing the number of operations you can drag and drop.

　　Intermediate Photoshop shortcut commands

　　[
(Reduce the paint brush size)-quickly reduce the size of the paint brush.

　　]
(Increase the size of the paint brush)-quickly increase the size of the paint brush.

　　Shift + [
(Reduce the softness of the brush)-reduce the softness of the brush by 25%.

　　Shift +]
(Increase the softness of the brush)-increase the softness of the 25% brush.

　　1-> 0
(Tool opacity)-I often control my brushes in
5% to 10%, but sometimes more solid colors are needed. Press the 1-> 0 numeric keys to change the opacity to 10% 20%
100%. If you need to adjust it more precisely, you only need to press the required opacity value continuously. For example, when you press 4, The Opacity is set to 40%. If you press
3. The transparency is modified to 43%.

　　Shift + 1-> 0
(Tool residue [flow])-
This set of shortcut keys can directly modify the flow value of the tool. The usage is the same as the above operation to adjust opacity.

　　CTRL + Tab
(Switch to the next anchor of the curve )-
When you use the curve adjustment dialog box, you can set multiple adjustment anchors on the curve. Sometimes, you need to use the keyboard for very small adjustments, but you often move it to another location by clicking the adjustment point with the mouse. Enable
Using this command can avoid this.

　　Advanced Photoshop shortcut commands

　　CTRL + Shift + n
(New layer )-
Open the new layer dialog box and create a new layer on the current active layer.

　　CTRL + ALT + Shift + n
(No prompt for creating a layer )-
The new layer dialog box is displayed.

　　CTRL + Shift + c
(Copy all visible layers )-
Copy all visible layers in the selected area to the Clipboard without merging the layers. (Istef:
Note that when using this command, the current active layer must be visible; otherwise, nothing can be copied. The original text explains this function incorrectly)

　　CTRL + ALT + Shift + E
(Merge all layers in the new layer )-

This is my favorite command. First, I will create a new layer and then use this command on the new layer. This command is a bit like the copy visible layer command, but the difference is that it stores the copy result in
New layer.

　　CTRL + ALT + Shift + k
(Show all shortcut keys )-
If you forget a shortcut key or want to find another shortcut key, use this command.
