SmugMug Photoshop Demonstration

Posted on Jan 11, 2012 in Uncategorized | 0 comments

Last night I spoke at the Louisville SmugMug Pro Group on Photoshop.  We had large crowd with pretty varied experience levels, but hopefully everyone was able to get at least a little something out of it

As promised, here is the list of my favorite shortcuts.  We didn’t get to discuss customizing them, so here is a link to a quick guide to customizing shortcuts.

Ctrl- Shift-I: Invert Selection

Alt-Click mask : show mask

B: Brush, [ ] Brush size, shift- [ ], brush softness

Alt-Click (using brush tool): Color Picker

You can easily get a list of all 7 billion (give or take) keyboard shortcuts by going to File/Keyboard shortcuts, and then click on “Summarize”.  This will generate a documents with all the assigned keyboard shortcuts.
