If you're a beginner then getting the hang of Photoshop can be difficult, especially with all the different tools available. Many of the shortcuts are right there on your keyboard, and within this article you will find a few to get you started with your Photoshop Editing.

Faster Editing with your Photoshop Keyboard Shortcuts

When editing pictures and photos, it's always useful to zoom in to get the precision just right. To zoom in, simply press the Z key or Ctrl+space (to zoom out hold down the Alt key or Alt+space.)

Ctrl+J=copy

Ctrl+Shift+J=Cut to a new layer

It just takes one click to make a mistake and it can be easy to panic once the mistake has been made. There's no need to worry when you make a mistake, as just pressing Ctrl + Z will undo your mistake straight away. This shortcut will only work straight after the mistake is made, so for example if you make a mistake then do something else, it will only undo the immediate action that you just did. To undo further back, the Ctrl + Alt + Z shortcut will keep undoing everything backwards.

Ctrl+Alt+A=Select all layers

There's no way to predict unfortunate things happening that could ruin your work, for example a power cut, which could result in you losing your work. A way to avoid this is to use Ctrl + S Photoshop Keyboard shortcut every 5 - 10 minutes, which will have your work and save your own bacon!

Ctrl+Shift+I=Inverse select

Pressing the Tab key will show and hide your palettes. Using this keyboard shortcut will give you more room to edit your work, which is always handy if you don't like your screen to be too crowded with things that may not need to be there.

Ctrl+Left click=Automatique select

Increasing and decreasing the brush size is essential when editing within Photoshop. Decreasing the brush size is great to get into the tighter places on the image, where as increasing it is great for when editing a larger area. The heavenly Photoshop Keyboards you'll need to decrease the brush size is the [ key and the ] key is used to increase the brush size.

Alt+Backspase=colored the space selected by foreground color

Ctrl+Backspase= colored the space selected by background color

There's nothing more annoying than when different parts of your photo stick together when they aren't meant to. Ctrl + Alt + Shift + N will solve this by creating a new layer.

Ctrl+G=Put all selected layers in group

Ctrl+Shift+G=cancel the group

One of my own favourites is the H Photoshop keyboard shortcut. This allows you to pan around your image with ease, by turning your cursor into the hand tool, (to be honest this is one of my most used shortcuts by far.) or you can just keep pressing the space bar.

Ctrl+R=Rulers

Remember you can always show your Photoshop Keyboard commands by holding down the Ctrl + Alt + Shift + K buttons (if you've got enough fingers left!) This brings up the help dialog box, and is always a handy little tool!

And all of this is to speed up your work by up to 40%, and make your workstation look great.
