Photoshop Short Cuts

[colin C]

I tend to work in photoshop with my graphics pad to my right hand and the keyboard to the left hand. I learn't fairly early on that the shortcut keys do speed up the workflow and I tend to use them automatically, though I must admit, it did take a while to learn them.

If it helps any other members, I list my normal ones below. I believe the same shortcuts are used in Elements and if you wish, you can go into preferences and assign your own shortcuts.

Re: Photoshop Short Cuts

You are most welcome Desmond.

There are a whole lot more, but I posted these because they are the ones I use everyday and they print out on one sheet of A4.
