Photoshop keyboard shortcuts cheat sheet, a free spreadsheet download, plus a tutorial on how to create and modify your own keyboard shortcuts!

In part one of the series, I gave instructions on how to setup a custom workspace that suits your preferences and workflow style.

Now that you know how to work efficiently with customized workspaces, we will now look at a way to work efficiently with Photoshop keyboard shortcuts.

Photoshop’s Keyboard Shortcuts allows users the ability to quickly access tools, functions and effects without scrolling for them through menus, “more options” fly out panels and Tool Bar icons.

Some people consider mastery of Keyboard Shortcuts essential for professional imaging artists and believe that it’s mandatory to memorize and use them.

However, there are hundreds of them; a daunting task, plus most artists’ brains are visually oriented; they like to see and click on things and it’s perfectly acceptable to do so.

If anyone is offering you to get Photoshop CC, CS6, CS5-CS2 keygen (serial number key), ignore the offer. If you don’t, you will break the law by using illegal software for free. In this post, I want to tell you about all the disadvantages of using a Photoshop Keygen Full Version, ways to. Keyboard Shortcuts. Photoshop CC 2017 Shortcuts: Mac. Here are many keyboard shortcuts for Photoshop CC 2017, including lesser known and hidden keystrokes!

That being said, mastering Keyboard Shortcuts that are relevant to the style of work at hand speeds up workflow and eliminates the monotony of repetitive seeking and clicking.

In this article I am providing the ones most commonly used by photographers who use Photoshop to adjust and retouch their images.

I’m also confining the shortcuts to those that consist of 2-3 keys because I like to assign multiple key shortcuts to a Function key or as an option on my Wacom tablet.

When going for Keyboard Shortcuts that access specific tools and panels, press the first key and quickly the other as if you were playing a piano.

When using them to affect the way a tool or function is working, hold the key while accomplishing the task.

* The Rotate Tool in the Tool Bar can be selected with Shift + R, but it requires another Keyboard Shortcut to get back to the Hand Tool, so pressing and holding the R key is generally faster.

For Image Adjustments

The above shortcuts apply the change to the selected layer as an all over adjustment.

To apply adjustments over the selected layer with the option to use Layer Masks, opacity, etc, select adjustment options from the Adjustment button located at the bottom of the Layers Window.

It looks like a circle, half white and half black.

When you are learning to use Keyboard Shortcuts, take it easy! Don’t try to learn them all at once; master a few of them and then add a few more.

I’d suggest starting with easy navigation shortcuts, like:

  • Zoom In
  • Zoom Out
  • Fit on Screen
  • File Save
  • File Close
  • Toggle Screen Mode (I suggest working in Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar)

Then add:

  • Brush Opacity
  • Brush Size
  • New Layer
  • New Layer via Copy
  • Add Layer Mask
  • Edit / Transform
  • Add Adjustment Layer

From there, add more according to the tools and functions you use the most.

Create/Modify Your Own Custom Photoshop Shortcuts

If you want to modify an existing Photoshop shortcut or create custom Photoshop shortcuts for commands that have no default shortcut, follow the instructions below:

Photoshop For Mac Crack

In Photoshop, go to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts, or hit Alt + Shift + Ctrl + K (a shortcut to access the shortcut!)

Within the Keyboard Shortcuts window, choose a shortcut type from the “Shortcuts For:” drop down menu.

  • Application Menus: Customize keyboard shortcuts for items in the menu bar
  • Panel Menus: Customize keyboard shortcuts for items in panel menus
  • Tools: Customize keyboard shortcuts for tools in the toolbox

Once you find the command that you want to create/modify, click on the blue arrow to view the existing shortcuts.

To modify – click on an existing shortcut and you’ll be able to modify it with your own personalized shortcut.

To create – click on the blank space next to a command and you’ll be able to create your own personalized shortcut.

If you want to undo a change, press the undo button, or Ctrl + Z.

Once you’re finished with customizing your own shortcuts, click on the OK button and it will save into the Photoshop Defaults set.

If you want to create your own set (not save into the Photoshop Defaults set), simply click on the save icon on the top and you’ll be able to name and save your personalized set.
