hi Brian
Thanks for the nice words Indeed it does seem like depending on what you do with photoshop, you’ll have a different set of shortcuts ingrained in you – I’ve picked up a couple since discovering the wonders of vectors!

Yep, the elusive shortcut comes in very handy when you need to edit something, but don’t want to exactly duplicate the many many layers that make up the image!

Great write-up here. I always find it interesting to see different people’s favorite shortcuts. It just goes to show you that we all work differently.

Ha ha ha… the “elusive” Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E is one of my favorite shortcuts. I don’t even know if it’s available in the menus. I use it for creating a new layer that I can sharpen — this way I don’t lose any of my edits below.

lol @ the tabs =)
i reckon its better if you just have a bigger screen! Then u wont need to tab at all!

oops, how could I forget that one! and also ‘f’ which changes the view type (screen mode) of the window – works hand-in-hand with the ‘tab’ key.

Works well when you are editing more than one pic: ‘tab’ to remove stuff on the screen, ‘f’ to flip to the standard view, select the pic you want and then ‘f’ again to full-screen it

Ooo, this is useful, but you forgot one of the bestest shortcuts! Pressing ‘tab’ makes everything in the Photoshop window (except for what you’re working on) disappear so that you have nothing blocking your view. ^^
