Användbara kortkommandon för photoshop

Nedan är några användbara kortkommandon för att arbeta upp ett sitt arbetsflöde i Adobe Photoshop.

• F(Cycle Screen Modes) — Switch between normal screen, full screen withtask bar without title bar, and full screen with black background.Works great when used in conjunction with Tab to hide toolbars — maximum working space, no distractions.
• X (Switch Colors) — Swap your foreground and background colors. Very handy when working with masks.
• D (Default Colors) — Reset your foreground and background colors to black and white, respectively.
• Ctrl + ‘+’/'-’ (Zoom In/Out) — Quickly zoom in or out without changing your current tool.
• Alt + Mouse Scroll (Zoom In/Out) — Fastest way to zoom — scroll up to zoom in, and scroll down to zoom out.
• Ctrl + Alt + Z (Step Back) — Ctrl + Zis OK if you catch a mistake immediately after it happens, but thiscommand will continue to march its way up the history tree.
• Ctrl + S (Save) — You should get in the habit of just hitting this combo on impulse about every 5 to 10 minutes. Also use Ctrl + Alt + Shift + S to bring up the save for web dialog.
• Ctrl + Alt + Shift + N (New Layer No Dialog) — Quickly insert a new empty layer on top of the active layer. Get rid of the Alt key to bring up the new layer dialog for more options.
  
  

• Shift + Click Mask(Enable/Disable Layer Mask) — When working with masks it’s typicallydone in small increments. Disabling the mask allows you to check theresults of your masking against the original.
• Alt + Click Mask(Toggle Mask Visibility) — Doing this will bring up the mask as agrayscale image so you can see what you’re working with. Useful if youhave areas that need to be filled in or smoothed out.
• Ctrl + Click Mask(Load Mask As Selection) — Selects the white part of the mask (graysare partially selected). Useful if you want to duplicate a mask or it’sinverse. Using Ctrl + Click on a layer without a mask will select the non-transparent pixels in that layer.
• Ctrl + J(New Layer Via Copy) — Can be used to duplicate the active layer into anew layer. If a selection is made, this command will only copy theselected area into the new layer.
• Caps Lock (Toggle Cross Hairs) — Switch between the standard tool icon and a set of precision cross hairs. Useful for spot-on selections.
• Shift + Backspace (Fill Dialog) — Good time saver when working with masks. Also, use the Ctrl + Backspace to fill with background color and Alt + Backspace to fill with foreground color.
• Ctrl + H(Hide Selection Lines) — When working with selections, use this commandto hide the “marching ants” while keeping the selection.
• Ctrl + I (Invert Selection) — Select the opposite of what is already selected. Also a good tool when working with mask creation.
• Ctrl + D (Deselect) — After working with your selection, use this combo to discard it.
• Side Note:When working with selections, they can be applied to a layer as a masksimply by adding a new layer mask using the littlebox-with-a-circle-inside icon at the bottom of the layer palette. Thisalso works with adjustment layers by automatically applying theselection to the mask.

• Ctrl + G (Group Layers) — This command groups selected layers in the layer tree. Adding Shift to this combo will ungroup layers when the grouped layer is selected.
• Ctrl + A (Select All) — Creates a selection around the entire canvas.
• Ctrl + T(Free Transform) — Brings up the free transform tool for resizing,rotating, and skewing the image using a dragable outline.
• Ctrl + E(Merge Layers) — Merges selected layer with the layer directly belowit. If multiple layers are selected, only those will be merged.
• Crtl + Shift + E(Merge Visible) — Merges all visible layers into one. Not recommendedpractice in typical photo editing because you’ll lose layerinformation.
• Ctrl + Alt + E (Stamp Down) — Merges all selected layers into one new layer. Add the Shiftmodifier to this combo and you’ll get a new layer containing a mergedrepresentation of all visible layers (handy for sharpening adjustments)
• Ctrl + Alt + Shift + R(Rotate Arbitrary Dialog) — bring up the rotate dialog to straightenout your horizon… but it’s not typically used since we all take perfectphotos, right?
• Side Note:Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) has the ability to straighten photos before theyever make it into Photoshop. When straightening, you draw a line you’dlike as your horizontal and ACR will take care of the rotation and cropfor you.
• CTRL + ALT + DEL (Kill Photoshop) — Quite useful when Photoshop takes your computer hostage. Must have used the Ctrl + S command prior to the hostile takeover in order to prevent mental breakdown.
