Photoshop Tips I’ve Come Across
Here are some tips I picked up recently to help speed up the design and patience aspect of redundant production processes:- Draw a selection, then use the shortcut Shift+CMD+C to Copy Merged. This takes every layer into the clipping, rather than just the current layer selection.
- Go to File > Scripts > Load files into stack to open up a bunch of images and automatically place them onto individual layers.
- With the Brush tool selected, press the [ and ] keys to increase or decrease the brush size.
- Another handy tip for Mac users. Cycle through various full screen modes by pressing the F key.
- Increase the size of your work area by toggling off the palettes using the Tab key. Hover over the edges of the screen to bring back palettes, which will then disappear again when the mouse is moved away.
- Double click the Zoom icon’s magnifying glass to jump back to 100%.
- Drag a selection with the Marquee tool, but before releasing the mouse button, press and hold the Spacebar to relocate the selection.
