Photoshop CS6 Windows shortcuts

Although I only used Photoshop CS6 on Windows during a brief period, luckily the shortcuts are quite similar to the ones in the previous versions. Lets see which are the most important.

Open File This is where all starts from opening a picture. Do this by pressing Ctrl + O. Create document If you have no picture to open, create a new document by pressing Ctrl + N. Zooming in and out You do this by pressing the Ctrl button and the plusand minus keys. You can also press Ctrl and use the scroll click on a mouse to zoom both ways. Save for the web - This is one of the key shortcuts I use most often. Alt + Ctrl + Shirt + S will always take you to the Save for the web box. Keep in mind that you can press the first three keys in any order you wish the shortcut will still work.

Transform layer - If you wish to transform the active layer, all you have to do is press Ctrl + T. Edit key shortcuts - If you want to customize the keyboard shortcuts, all you have to do is press Alt + Shift + Ctrl + K. Preferences Ctrl + K will always take you to the Preferences menu. Levels - If you edit pictures, accessing the levels box is something you do often. From now on, do it by pressing Ctrl + L. Curves Ctrl + M will allow you to quickly edit the Curves. Hue/Saturation - To edit this, press Ctrl + U. Color Balance Color Balance is another thing very useful for photo manipulation. Ctrl + B is the shortcut for this. Desaturate If you quickly want to desaturate, press Ctrl + Shift + U. Image size Another of my personal favorites is Ctrl + Alt + I. New Layer Creating a new layer can simply be done by pressing Shift + Ctrl + N. Liquify If you use the Liquify tools often, Shift + Ctrl + X should be your best friend.

Invert - Inverting the colors in Photoshop on Windows can simply be done by using the Ctrl + I shortcut. Fit on screen Fitting the image on your screen is simply done by pressing Ctrl + 0. Ruler You might not always want the ruler on, especially if you have a small screen, therefore keeping in mind Ctrl + R could be useful. Show grid - You can show or hide the grid by pressing Ctrl + Show guides If you want to quickly show or hide the guides, simply press Ctrl + ; Locking guides If you work with guides and want to lock them, Alt + Ctrl + ; will do the job. Brush size If you want to increase or decrease the brush size, [ and ] will do the job very quickly. Brush hardness If you want to modify the hardness of the brush, Shift + [ and Shift + ] will do the trick. Different Tools (where starred, it means pressing Shift and the respective key will help you cycle through different tools of the same type)

Move Tool - V Marquee Tool M* Lasso Tool - L* Crop Tool - C* Quick Selection / Magic Wand - W* Patching Brushes J* Eraser E* Gradient Tool / Paint Bucket G* Pen Tool P* Type Tool - T* Switch Foreground / Background Colors X Default Foreground / Background Colors D Line / Polygon / Ellipse tools U* Sponge / Dodge / Burn tools - O* Brush History Y* Rotate View Tool R Hand Tool H
