wow!.. .this is quite a list.. .but i guess you can only use a few of them.. .i only use, zoom in-out, save as, inverse select, deselect among others.. . :-D
Well I have been using photoshop for 3 years now and I still haven't used them all, it is a vast program to learn and not even the pros and pros. But glad you enjoy.
Well. Very awesome! Some vital and fundamental shortcuts you have provided here. This stuff is really fruitful for new learners.
It is a long list. Even more shortcuts are present. The professionals and experts will surely remember them all.
The best thing is that you can bind your own shortcuts. For example I always bind useful function to shortcuts like Ctrl + Q which is very convenient, but the default function is ridiculous - Quit Photoshop you must be kidding me.. it's like I do this every five minutes.
Your welcome You know, my favorite shortcut is Hide Extras (if I recall correctly). Indispensable when after selecting anything and want to adjust that selection but without seeing the selection border itself, which distracting attention.
some more Photoshop shortcuts to go... alt+ right arrow= to increase spaces b/w each character alt+ left arrow = to decrease spaces b/w each character space+ right click = fir on screen/actual pixel/ print size ctrl+shift+alt+S = preview for web ctrl + (ctrl + plus key) = zoom in ctrl - (ctrl + minus key )= zoom out ctrl 0 = (ctrl + zero key ) = fit on screen
New to graphics/web design. Just wanted to say a quick thank you! (printed this out and keeping it next to my computer)
