    Photoshop Short Cuts.

    When I teach Photoshop at the Camera Club I make available a handout of useful Photoshop Short Cuts and I hope you may find it useful. Much easier than scrolling through menus and sub menus.

    Obvious for Mac users, Ctrl L would be Cmd L etc.

      It's so quick when you get used to it and don't have to refer to the crib sheet.

            Cheers, will have to print out that crib sheet. I guess it applies to Elements as well.

              Pretty much so.

              They seem to have become universal and some even work on Windows.

                I also like:

                Ctrl + (Zoom in)
                Ctrl - (Zoom out)
                Ctrl spacebar (momentarily change to hand so can drag zoomed selection on screen)
