If you're a Mac OS person, just substitute Cmd for Ctl and Option for Alt.
#Photoshop assign hotkey windows
The listings here are based on the Windows keyboard layout. Press Ctl-H again to show the selection edge again if needed.Ĭtrl-Alt-Shift-K (Keyboard Commands) – Opens the keyboard shortcut dialog where you can look up shortcuts you can't remember of create your own if you don't like the ones Adobe came up with. Your selection itself remains the same this just changes whether the boundary gets displayed visually. To really get at the History palette contents you'll need Ctl-Alt-Z to step backwards one step at a time or Ctl-Shift-Z to go forward one step at a time.Ĭtl-H (Show or Hide Extras) – This handy shortcut lets you hide the "marching ants" selection boundary so you can see the image itself more clearly. Undo, redo, undo, redo: that's all Ctl-Z will get you.
Press it again and it simply re-does that update. This comes in very handy since sometimes it's easier to select what you don't want than what you do.Ĭtl-D (Deselect) – Quickly gets rid of your current selection.Ĭtl-Alt-Z and Ctl-Shift-Z (History) – The basic Ctl-Z shortcut will undo the most recent update, but that's about it. For example, pressing the 1-key immediately followed by the 5-key will set the opacity to 15%.ġ through 0 (Change layer opacity) – If the move tool is active instead of the brush tool, the same keyboard shortcuts as above will adjust the opacity of the current layer.Ĭtl-A (Select All) – Selects the entire layer.Ĭtl-Shift-I (Invert selection) – Whatever was selected no longer will be and vice versa. If you need a percentage that isn't a multiple of 10%, quickly press two number keys in a row. 2 through 9 will get you 20% up through 90%.
Press Caps Lock again and you're back to the standard tool cursor.ġ through 0 (Change brush opacity) – With the brush tool active, pressing the 1-key will set the opacity to 10%. Keep an eye on the Brush tool's option bar to see where you are at.Ĭaps Lock (Toggle cursor mode) – Pressing the Caps Lock key lets you switch from the default tool cursor to the precision cross-hairs when you need the greater precision. Shift- but change how hard of soft your brush is. This also works with the clone stamp, sponge and most everything else that works like a brush. I'm right handed so I wish these keys were on the left side of the keyboard, but I'm still happy to have them available. (Decrease and increase brush size) – Press the square bracket keys with one hand while keeping the other on your mouse to easily change the size of your brush. If you have these set to black and white, you can use this shortcut to toggle your brush color when painting on a mask. X (Exchange) – Switch foreground and background colors. Unlike with previous versions of Photoshop, odd zoom percentages won't result in jaggies so this shortcut is now far more useful than it used to be.Īlt-Mouse wheel (Zoom) – This is another great way to zoom in and out that lets you fine tune your view quickly.ī (Brush tool) – I use a brush mainly for fine tuning masks on adjustment layers but you can also use it to paint over image pixels when necessary.ĭ (Default foreground and background colors) – Simply pressing the D-key will return your default foreground and background colors to white and black.
This lets you see what you want to see but does not affect your image at all.Ĭtl-0 (Zoom to fit) – Zoom your image so it just fits on your screen. When you let go of the space bar you are back to the tool previously selected.Ĭtl-+ (Zoom in) and Ctl-(Zoom out) – Zoom your view in and out. Space bar (Hand tool) – Temporarily selects the hand tool so you can pan around an image that won't completely fit on your screen. Here's a brief rundown of some of my favorites. I don't even use most of them, but there are some I couldn't live without. There are lots of keyboard shortcuts built into Adobe Photoshop and there's no way I could list them all here, even if I wanted to.
