hey everyone this is Mason from filter
0:06
grade today we're going to be taking a
0:07
look at some of the best keyboard
0:09
shortcuts for Adobe Photoshop in 2019
0:11
and 2020 keyboard shortcuts can speed up
0:14
processes that would normally take much
0:16
longer and once you get used to some of
0:17
these you can smooth your workflow
0:19
significantly I'm going to skip some of
0:21
the basic ones the ones you can see just
0:23
by hovering over the tool in the tools
0:24
panel and get to some that may not be as
0:27
readily apparent change a brush size
0:30
when you're using a brush or eraser tool
0:32
one of the most annoying things is
0:34
dragging the tiny size adjustment bar
0:35
around or typing in numbers until it
0:38
this is especially annoying if you just
0:40
need to make small adjustments one of my
0:42
favorite shortcuts is using square
0:44
brackets the left bracket decreases the
0:46
brush size and the right bracket
0:47
increases the brush size obviously this
0:50
isn't great for precise sizing but it
0:52
can work if you're just trying to fill
0:53
in an area and the sizing isn't quite
0:55
right create new layer while clicking
0:58
the create new layer button isn't too
1:00
difficult of a task there is of course a
1:02
keyboard shortcut for it if you find
1:04
yourself creating a lot of new blank
1:06
layers like for painting in Photoshop
1:07
this can speed up the process the
1:09
shortcut is ctrl shift + n on Windows or
1:12
command shift + on Mac ctrl alt shift n
1:16
also creates a new layer but skip the
1:17
dialog box close all projects if you're
1:22
working on a lot of projects and are
1:24
ready to close them all there's no need
1:25
to close each one by one or close them
1:27
all from the file menu instead you can
1:30
press ctrl shift + w on Windows or
1:32
command shift W on Mac to close
1:34
everything while leaving Photoshop open
1:36
and don't worry just like closing
1:38
everything normally Photoshop will ask
1:39
you if you want to save each unsaved
1:41
project before it closes them hand tool
1:44
well you can always press H to use the
1:46
hand tool there is another way that only
1:48
uses the hand tool as long as you have
1:50
this button pressed that button is
1:52
spacebar one of the easiest buttons to
1:54
reach on your keyboard while also moving
1:56
the cursor as long as you're holding
1:57
spacebar the hand tool will be active
1:59
and letting go of the spacebar will
2:02
apply the apply tool is incredibly
2:06
useful it's amazing how often I've
2:08
struggled to apply something like a text
2:09
layer only to accidentally undo it by
2:11
clicking in the wrong place you can of
2:13
course click the check mark that shows
2:15
up on the top bar or you can use a
2:16
keyboard shortcut which is control +
2:18
Enter on Windows or command + Enter on
2:20
Mac this means you don't have to worry
2:22
about making a mistake while trying to
2:24
apply a layer and not move any other
2:25
layers around on accident by clicking on
2:28
there are countless shortcuts in
2:30
Photoshop that different users will find
2:32
useful in different situations these
2:34
should be useful for most Photoshop
2:36
users using Photoshop in 2019 and 2020
2:38

2:40
