Keyboard Shortcuts:
It's
a known fact that the Photoshop elite love their keyboard
shortcuts. I really can't remember them all though, but I
do know/use most of them. Therefore, it is only a matter of time
before the average user is bound to ask his or herself, "How
can I learn to be a hipster like those Photoshop gurus?" Well,
I am not saying these helpful keyboard shortcuts will make you
cool, but they can save you a good bit of time while using
Photoshop.
Â
There are a mind-numbing amount of shortcuts in
Photoshop. Nearly every possible option has a keyboard equivalent
(and any that you feel are lacking can be added through the new
Keyboard Shortcuts window that can be found at
Edit>Keyboard Shortcuts). It would be almost impossible, and
certainly not worthwhile to learn every command, so I have made a
list of the more important shortcuts to know including all of the
menu shortcuts and some other commands. Note the plus (+) sign
indicates holding down two or more keys at a time. This list was
compiled in reference to Photoshop CS(x)
