I don't know if you all think this might be a valid idea for a thread. But I was thinking we could all take a turn at posting a few of our favorite keyboard short cuts.

My thought is that it would provide a resource for new members and at the same time the more experienced users could benefit as well. I know there are links out there with this info, but thought it might be nice to have it right here at home.

So here are a couple of the ones I use the most

1. Ctrl+J = create a duplicate of the active layer
2. Ctrl+E= merge down
3. Ctrl+M= open the curves filter
4. Ctrl+U= open the Hue/Saturation filter

If you think this worthwhile add a few if not say so [confused]

[bustagut] "Tab" to hide all the pallettes!

All non-finger-stretching-shortcuts

i regularly use the ones rick mentioned. here are some more that i constantly use:

ctrl + z -- wouldn't want to live w/out this one

ctrl + d = deselect
ctrl + shift + u = auto de-saturate
ctrl + l = levels dialog
ctrl + shift + l = auto levels
ctrl + i = image > adjust > invert
ctrl + shift + i = select > inverse
ctrl + h = hide selection (very handy, but also annoying)
ctrl + shift + j = copy + paste into new layer(?)

[ and ] to change brush size

key combo:
ctrl +a = select all
ctrl + shift + c = copy merged
ctrl +v = paste

along with above key combo, i'll also do:
ctrl + n = new doc
ctrl + v = paste
ctrl +e = merge down

one i know but never used:
ctrl + alt + ` = luminence select

I like cntrl +F and alt-cntrl + F

Im sure most people have seen this site but Trevor Morrisphotoshop site
Has a great DOwnload that gives you a PDF of all the keyboard shortcuts. I love this thing so much I had it laminated at Kinkos.

Hi

Good idea Rick....[righton]

I wonder what is the shortcuts for(if any) :

1.Apply image
2.Calculation

and the rest of the Image menu members...(i mean to those commends which hasnt defined shortcut)

Shay

Oh.........yaaaa......instead of a joke :

Shift + Tab hides the plattes but display the Tool

I don't think there are shortcuts for Calculation and Apply Image. At least I don't see any when I surf the menu.

Record an Action to use one, then bind it to a keystroke.
Tada!
Instant shortcut.

I you need a nice collection of PS7 shortcuts, you might want to download this http://user.fundy.net/morris/downloa...op7HotKeys.pdf
