PS Cold knowledge of the great diversion of the universe

The theme is "Great diversion", the content from the author in the use of PS summed up the skills and habits, content is sure there will be you are using, may also have been overlooked by you, I hope that through this series of articles, to bring some enlightenment to everyone, improve the efficiency of the small partners, so that they can freely arbitrary.

After the release of the first article, the response was good, in this sincerely thank you for your support, so long before the launch of the second phase, really embarrassed, because I chose this topic is very difficult to find-originally intended to be released, but is suffering from too little, cold knowledge of the topic like its own name as Tangled- What is the cold knowledge? I believe that the use of PS has a certain age of people have a set of their own methods and habits, and everyone's habits are different, so it is really difficult to remove where the cold where hot.

PS: In the last share of those you do not know the Photoshop cold knowledge of the "first phase"-with a combination of three, many people mention the use of Mac words a lot of skills can not use, the author has just changed the MBP, looked at the difference between Mac OS and Windows: Ctrl=command , Alt=option,shift=shift (this does not change), also has a control key in the OS, it is the equivalent of Windows key in Photoshop, but this is only most shortcuts, such as the hue wheel in the upper In the Mac becomes the control+option+command+ mouse button, changing the brush size is the option+command+ left mouse button. Please note that this article will be marked differently from Windows operations, and will also mark out the Photoshop version number that I tested to be feasible (due to a problem with the previous computer and then fill it up).

PSS: After everyone's help, all the diagrams should be active now ... Because of the site restrictions, these maps after compression looks like a bit of deep ice ... Children's shoes can not be seen in the attachment to download to the non-compressed GIF files.

Wheel for Universal use

In the use of PS, wheel this thing is actually not commonly used, but a wheel plus three function keys can be fully realized scaling and peaceful shift, longitudinal shift, adjust the value of functions.

① Scaling

ALT + Wheel: This method enables the scaling of the canvas without scaling, with the mouse positioned as the reference center when scrolling. PS: The author does not recommend this method, introduced this article purely in order to draw the second ...

alt+shift+ Wheel: Scaling the canvas in equal proportions, scrolling with the mouse position for the reference Center (note that the value of the view percentage in the map changes before and after), wall crack recommended, I most often use one of the shortcut keys, such as proportional scaling, perfect replacement Ctrl + "+", Ctrl + "-".

ps:ctrl+1:100% View ctrl+0: Zoom to Full view (non-proportional)

② Mobile

View on more than one screen (or in full screen)

The direct mouse wheel can be vertical movement, each roll a small lattice is a screen pixel;

Press CTRL + the wheel to move horizontally, but also to screen pixels per grid.

Add shift on top to enable accelerated movement, each of which is a single screen, and it is very convenient to add shift to a large multiple.

As you may have noticed, there are many improvements that can be achieved by shift, and remember the semantics of the three function keys that were mentioned in the last article?

The universal selection of the FA

Put a moving picture for everyone to see the effect first, there is wood is very magical?

OK, now let me give you an analysis of my implementation principles:

The magic of this place is that I can achieve in the PS in any area for the object alignment, here similar to the AI in the key objects set (select more than the N target, click on one of the targets will be heavier display, this time using the alignment is the target for the key objects to align), In fact, there is no such a key object in PS, but we can still create a-constituency! After incomplete testing, the selection or alignment of this item is prioritized above the layer (not valid for the path), so when you create a selection in the artboard, Any alignment you make is a key object for this selection! The effect in this diagram is not difficult to understand.

Expand 1: Like AI, can you make a layer to align with one of the layers specified in it? Of course, just hold down CTRL and click the layer you want to align, convert it to a selection, is it easy?

PS: See comments A lot of small partners said here did not see understand, yes--I checked the "Auto Select-layer" option in the selection tool, so I can select the three layers by box, and if you don't check them, manually click on the items. Then the alignment is the same as before, the key is to have a constituency existence ~

Expand 2: Each time in the status bar to click on the alignment, is not a good trouble? Shortcut key wood has, this How to do? It's OK, let's set one ourselves.

Open edit--keyboard shortcuts, open the layer that page, find the above items, and then according to their own taste to modify it! After the alignment only with shortcut keys, tall with wood there!

Extension 3: As I said before, the priority of a selection is above the layer, and the same layer has some attribute selections, such as snapping edges.

As shown in the figure, when the guide alignment edge is turned on, the drawn guides (holding Alt while pulling the guide) can be used to adsorb the edges of the selection so that we can quickly hit the desired reference line.

A few more tips.

Some small partners will often in a group of the same size of the source file cut to cut, the thing in a file dragged to another, drag the past found that the position has changed to adjust again, is not very annoying?

Here's a tip: When you drag an object to another file, hold down SHIFT and if the two files are the same size, it sticks to the original position, and if the size is different, it sticks to the center of the artboard. This method is either a layer, a path, a shape, a selection ... As long as you can drag things can be achieved.

In addition, you can switch between different file artboards using Ctrl+tab (Mac is Control+tab).

n the same Smart object is used in a file, just want to change one? Right-click on the layer-create a new smart object by copying

Using the arrow keys to move too slowly? Hold down SHIFT and try.

OK, cold knowledge the second phase is here, a lot of people ask me how these skills I found, in fact, these things in peacetime use, sometimes with the use will find that a, heart words to remember it, more than a few times becomes a convenient good skill.

I believe that some of the techniques mentioned above have not been seen and someone has been used, no matter what your situation, a recommendation to leave a message ~ Your support is my greatest motivation to move forward!

In addition to say a digression ... Recently in a sharing meeting offline activities, location in Beijing, weekly with small partners to share some knowledge of the UI, interested can add group 71160281 (indicated from the gifted), activities are free (may generate site fees, but will not be more).
