Francesco Mugnai shows some tips & tricks for Adobe Photoshop users: 1 ) If you hold down ALT+CTRL+SHIFT (Mac: CMD+OPT+SHIFT) while starting Photoshop you can reset all the Photoshop settings back to factory default. Very usefull if you have problems with some tools or the interface. 2 ) One of my favorites. ALT+Click on the “eye” icon in the layer’s palette to hide all other layers. 3 ) Do you have trouble to find the cursor when you work with large canvases? 4 ) When you are applying a “drop shadow” layer effect, try to leave open the dialog box. 5 ) With a CTRL+Click on the triangle icon you can collapse or expand all layer groups. 6 ) Another cool shortcut. Press CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+E (Mac: CMD+OPT+SHIFT+E) to paste all the visible layers in a new one. 7 ) When you are in a dialog box, try to hold ALT(Mac: OPT) to transform the “cancel” button into a “reset” button. It doesnt work everywhere. 8 ) If you want to transform a path into a selection you have to press CTRL+ENTER (Mac: CMD-ENTER). 9 ) CTRL+ALT+Z (Mac: CTRL+OPT+ Z) to undo more than once. 10 ) Double Click on the stage (the gray area) to open a file or CTRL+Double Click to create a new file. 11 ) If you hold SHIFT while you click “File -> close”, Photoshop will close all the open windows at the same time. 12 ) ALT+CLICK (Mac: OPT+Click) a tool to switch through the related tools. For example, try ALT+Click (Mac: OPT+Click) on the Paint bucket tool, you will obtain the gradient tool. 13 ) CTRL+Click on the new layer incon to create a new layer immediately below the current layer. 14 ) Whit SHIFT+CTRL+ALT+T (Mac: SHIFT+CMD+OPT+T) you can repeat and clone the last transformation (made with CTRL+T). 15 ) To find the center of a document select the background layer and click CTRL+T (Mac: CMD+T) to see a crosshair in the middle. Now you can simply drag out a guide in this point to find the center. 16 ) When you have a selection hold CTRL and use the arrows to move it, one pixel at a time. 17 ) Choose CTRL+0 to “zoom to fit”, CTRL+ALT+0 to “zoom to 100%”. 18 ) With the type tool active press CTRL+T (mAC: CMD+T) to show and hide the respective palette. 19 ) If you are working with the paint bucket tool, hold down ALT(OPT) to switch temporarily to the eyedropper tool. 20 ) To draw a straight line with the brush tool click where you want, hold down shift and then click again where you want.
