Getting Started with Photoshop Tutorial: Easy to use PS shortcut keys

Computer operation in the shortcut keys used well, is a master of one of the signs. Photoshop also has a lot of shortcuts, and with it, you've made a big step toward the goal of the Photoshop master.

Often have friends to ask: Photoshop inside the So-and-so shortcuts is what ah? Online also has a lot of posts have been introduced, as long as firmly remember and good at regular use, practice, practice, not long, you are not only to improve the speed, efficiency, but also the most important is to master Photoshop, that comfortable feeling no less than on the highway racing, a word-cool!

But for a variety of reasons, some shortcuts you may not remember 1:30, and then to find those posts and time-consuming laborious. A friend introduced the post to print out, affixed to the computer next to often practice, it is also a good way. I'm here to learn about shortcuts from Photoshop itself. Let me give you an example:

For example, I want to "auto levels" shortcut keys: Open "image" to "adjust" to "automatic levels" and you will see "Shift+ctrl+l" on the right side of the automatic levels line (shown in Figure 1, the Oval red box following the "Automatic Levels" column)

This is the shortcut key to it. Other such as "color level", "curve", "color balance" and so on have shortcut key prompts. In the new version of Photoshop, which is completely Chinese, as I use this Photoshop CS3, open "edit" to "keyboard shortcuts" (in the penultimate line), click to the "Keyboard shortcuts and Menus" dialog box, first click "Summary", and then "save" (see Figure 2)

In a moment the system will pop up "Photoshop CS3 keyboard Shortcuts", as shown in Figure 3

All the shortcuts inside Photoshop are all inside, at a glance. Some of the old version is not good, it may not open, as shown in Figure 4

It doesn't matter, you can follow the figure below to find the shortcut you are looking for, as shown in Figure 5

Photoshop tools (shortcut keys only one key), the Program menu ("Ctrl + So-and-so" key or function Key), palette menu ("Ctrl + So-and-so" key or function key), and so there are many default shortcuts, you seriously see it.

You must find it rewarding to be here. Don't be busy, the show is still behind you, then look down.

A shortcut to the Ctrl class is described above. That is, "CTRL + So-and-So" key, there is a class of Alt shortcut keys, that is, "Alt So-and-so" key, such as "automatic levels", in addition to "shift+ ctrl+l", you can also use "alt+i (for image) +a (representing the adjustment) A (for automatic color order ) "To implement, as shown in the green box in Figure 1. Again, "image size" shortcuts, in the new version you can use "Ctrl+alt+i", the older version of this shortcut, you can use the "alt+i (representing image) I (for image size)" To complete, as shown in the green box in Figure 6:

It's magical enough.

You have to say, using the method described above, some shortcut keys are too many steps, it appears not fast enough.

For example: When a person is like, often encounter the left and right eyes, face, shoulder, collar asymmetry, box selected good-looking side, with "ctrl+j" extract layer, and then to use the "Horizontal flip Canvas" command, according to the above, is "alt+i (representing image) E (representing the rotating canvas) H (representing the horizontal flip canvas, The old version does not necessarily have) ", have to press four keys to complete, how can we talk fast?" Haha, don't worry, I introduce a method, package your eyes a bright, suddenly enlightened-the original shortcut keys can be so arbitrary to play!

Open edit, to (keyboard) shortcut (in the penultimate line), click the mouse, pop the keyboard shortcuts and Menus dialog box, click it, double-click Image, drag down the slider (both old and new, as shown in Figure 7), to rotate the canvas, to flip the canvas horizontally, and click

A white rectangular custom setting box appears in the center of the horizontal Flip Canvas column. Press "Ctrl+f 1" to set directly, as shown in Figure 8 (you can set it yourself, but note that the shortcut key to the menu command must include "Ctrl" and, or a function key, or "CTRL" + a letter or punctuation key, Cannot have the number key, otherwise will not be able to set, like Figure 9)

If you have a custom set shortcut that conflicts with the default shortcut key, for example, "Flip canvas horizontally" You set to "Ctrl+m" (This is the Photoshop default "curve" shortcut), then you can click "Restore Changes" or click "Delete Shortcut" to cancel your previous settings, you can also click " Accept conflict "as shown in Figure 10. This "Flip canvas" shortcut key becomes your custom set "Ctrl+m", "curve" can no longer use it. Many usually do not use the default shortcut keys on the keyboard location is particularly good, especially suitable for your operation, you can use this method to replace. With the same command, you can set multiple shortcut keys. Click "Add Shortcut", as shown in Figure 11 (generally not necessary, so easy to confuse)

Then remember to click "Accept", "save", "OK", as shown in Figure 12.

Finally, we'll go back and click "Summary" and "save", and in a moment you'll see that you've got your customizations in the default values that Photoshop shortcuts have been modified.

Now do you feel like you're half a Photoshop whiz. There's another half of it, and it's up to you to practice.

Want to become a real Photoshop master, said there is a shortcut that is to learn from others, they have to do more brain, said there is no shortcut, that is to remember more practice. Rome overnight, let us work together!
