Hotkeys new layer. Layer management in the layers panel and hotkeys

Using keyboard shortcuts, or hotkeys, speeds up your work in Abobe Photoshop at times. A lot of hotkeys are set by default in Photoshop, but, in addition, these combinations can be customized by yourself (details on creating your own hotkeys are described). To do this, press the key combination Ctrl+Alt+Shift+K. A window will open where you can change the default keyboard shortcuts. But it's better to click on this button, with its help you can create a new set of keyboard shortcuts based on the current one, and change it as you like. This will allow us to keep the default set unchanged, and, in which case, return to it.

Some commonly used keyboard shortcuts:

  • Cloning a layer or selection - press Ctrl+J
  • With the F key, you can select one of three different screen modes, this will allow you to choose the optimal workspace size for your work.
  • Holding down the Ctrl key will turn any tool into a Move Tool. We release Ctrl - and the tool returns to its place.
  • Pressing the space bar turns any tool into a Hand Tool
  • Press Alt+Ctrl+A to select all layers
  • Photoshop provides an option to change the gray background color below the image. To do this, take the tool Fill (Paint Bucket Tool), hold down the Shift key and click on the background under the picture. The background will change to the color corresponding to the main one in the color palette on the toolbar.
  • Another mega-useful combination for cloning a layer using the copy method. Hold down Ctrl+Alt, press the left mouse button, and move the cursor to place the new layer in the right place in the picture.
  • Measuring an angle in Photoshop. Take the tool Ruler (Measure Tool), draw a line with it, then hold down Alt and create another line from the end of the first one. Photoshop will show us the value of the angle between these lines. The value will be displayed in degrees at the top of the main window, along with the line lengths.
  • To get a selection from a path (or path), press Ctrl+Enter

  • Hold Alt and click on the eye icon next to the layer icon in the layers palette to hide all other layers except the current one.

If you often use a program, it is very important to remember the hotkeys for it. For any designer knowledge of hotkeys photoshop is mandatory. Of course, not all keys, but many combinations still need to be remembered. Knowledge of Photoshop hotkeys significantly increases the productivity of the designer, saves time and allows you to think less about technical implementation ideas.

To begin, consider

Top 10 Photoshop Hotkeys

These are the most needed and frequently used key combinations in the program. Adobe Photoshop CS3, although they work in older versions of the program. Yes, and they will work in new versions, because, having spent a little time memorizing such combinations, in everyday work it turns out to save a lot of time and not be distracted from creativity by banal technical details.

At the end of the article, I will provide a standard hotkey table. In practice, no one uses all of them, but trying to use as many hotkey combinations as possible is desirable. At first, this is distracting and stressful, but most combinations are quickly remembered and their frequent use does the job in photoshop more comfortable and faster.

1. In the first place is a group of hot keys that allow you to remove the program from the workspace photoshop the Navigator panel and forget about it.

CTRL+ALT+ZERO-set document size to 100%,

CTRL+PLUS- increase the size of the document

CTRL+MINUS - reduce the size of the document on the screen photoshop.

CTRL+ZERO - by screen size.

2. CTRL+S - save current document changes. They can cut off the light, the computer may freeze, the program itself may crash photoshop, especially if there are a lot of open large files. The more often you save, the calmer. And since CTRL+S works in almost all Windows programs, the habit is often kept very correct.

3. Hotkeys CTRL+Z as in other Windows programs, cancels last action . Reapplication CTRL+Z will undo the undo, but will not undo even earlier actions. Those. the designer has the opportunity to look several times and compare which option to leave.

If necessary undo multiple actions , the combination CTRL+ALT+Z. Combination of application combinations CTRL+Z and CTRL+ALT+Z makes it possible to undo and redo groups of undone actions, which is very convenient.

4. There are many layers in a complex Photoshop file. They have to be constantly moved to affect their visibility or to group them logically into folders.

CTRL+]- raise layer 1 level up ,

CTRL+[- move the layer down 1 level .

CTRL+SHIFT+] - raise the layer to the very top of the document or to the very top of the folder if the layer is inside a folder.

CTRL+SHIFT+[-will lower the current layer, folder or group of selected layers to the very bottom .

5. Hotkeys for copying and pasting from the clipboard to photoshop standard

CTRL+C - copy

CTRL+V - insert .

In this case, only the image on the current layer that is in the selection area is copied. But there are also nice advanced features.

Combination CTRL+SHIFT+C - copies Everybody , which is in the selected area , no matter what layer the image is in.

A insert CTRL+SHIFT+V - pastes the previously copied graphic into the selection so that even after removing the selection, the inserted image is not visible outside the selection area that was at the time of insertion. In this case, the picture is not cropped and can be moved inside the mask area. In my opinion, the last two hotkey combinations first appeared in the version Photoshop CS.

6. Copying and dragging with keyboard buttons has a number of advantages. Very comfortably

ALT+ARROW -select the image and make a copy of it with an offset of 1 pixel ,

CTRL+ARROW- and or shift it by 1 pixel without copying.

TRL+SHIFT+ARROW -shifts the image by 10 pixels,

ALT+SHIFT+ARROW -copies the image in the direction indicated by the arrow, offset by 10 pixels. These Photoshop hotkey combinations are also often used to copy/move selections in an image, for example, to erase a damaged section of a gradient.

7. Often while working in photoshop I have to use the same filter many times in a row. I advise you not to forget about the hot key

CTRL+F - repeat filter action .

The combination saves a lot of time, for example, when you need to make several photos clearer - just select and adjust once unsharp mask, and then apply the filter action to all images.

8. CTRL+T - switch to the free transformation mode of the active object .

Used to reshape and rotate an image

9. When there are too many layers, it becomes inconvenient to work with them. It helps to combine into folders or merge layers.

Combination CTRL+E - merges the current layer with the bottom one into one new layer

CTRL+SHIFT+E - merges all layers of a PSD document into one .

10. When you need to remove the scaffolding and look at the result of the work, click

CTRL+H -show/hide guides.

If the result of the work still does not suit you, re-applying the combination will return the guides back.

Table of most program hotkeys Adobe Photoshop CS3

These are combinations of the most used keys in working with the program. photoshop. By spending a little time memorizing basic combinations, forcing yourself to use the keyboard to perform frequently repeated operations in Photoshop, you will quickly memorize the combinations you need. And you will use them automatically. If some hot keys are forgotten, then it means that you didn’t really need them. :-)

In early versions of Photoshop, to use hotkey combinations, you had to switch to the English keyboard layout, which was not very convenient. In my opinion, starting from the version Photoshop CS, hotkeys work with both Russian and Ukrainian layouts. In version Adobe Photoshop CS3 definitely work!

Just press the necessary combination of keys on the keyboard and quickly get access to the necessary tools and commands - you must agree that this is very convenient, saves precious time and increases the speed of working in the program.

They are also called Photoshop keyboard shortcuts (keyboard shortcuts / keyboard shortcuts/ keyboard shortcuts). If the key combinations do not work, you may be working with the Russian keyboard layout, try switching to the English layout.

If you press and hold the key combination ALT + SHIFT + CTRL when starting the program, a window will open in which you can reset all program settings to the initial ones - this sometimes helps a lot if the program suddenly starts to work unstable.

Also, immediately after installation, it will be useful to go to the program settings, press CTRL + K and enter necessary settings, for example, you can change the color of the interface (I personally don’t like the black color, I choose a light interface) and many other settings.
