Photoshop tips – Everyone has his own tips and secrets. I know that some tip related to photoshop is always a good news so I decided to post here the shortcut and tips I usually use to speed up my work.
I recently also added some other tricks and I want to share this tips with you!. It’s about 10 photoshop’s tip you can’t miss. I hope this will help you with your work!
1) Isolate a level – Hold the ALT key and click on the eye that indicates the visibility of a layer. The leyer selected will be that the only one visible. A fast wat to isolate the level you’re working on.
.
2) Finding the cursor – Sometimes we can lost the cursor, especially in very large images. Simply press and release the spacebar. The cursor will change its appearance for a moment, revealing himself instantly.
3) New merged levels – Pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + E all visible leayers will be merged in a new one (great tip!)
.
4) Opening Styles – In order to open all styles just press ALT and click on the arrow next the folder icon. It’s great to open all styles in a simple clic.
.
.
5) Special Undo – With Control+Z you go back one operation, repeating the operation it returns to the starting point. But by pressing CTRL + ALT + Z will go still further back in history.
6) Fast Opening – Double-clicking in the gray background of photoshop will open a document quickly, but if you hold down CTRL you will create a new document.
.
7) Change Tool – Hold the ALT key and click on an instrument in order to change it. For example switch brush to pencil tool by clicking on the brush tool, holding ALT key.
.
8 -Â Document Center – This is just an idea. To find the center of the image just select the background layer and press Ctrl + T. We don’t need transform anything, just look at the cross and mark it with rules.
.
9) Fast zoom – Use CTRL + 0 to fit the image to the screen. Use CTRL + ALT + 0 to restore 100% zoom.
.
At last but not least, my favourite photoshop tip:
10) Drag and drop an image into another by holding SHIFT. The image will be placed in the middle.

cool tips – thanks
however ctr+shift+e also merging visible layers at one 🙂 ( without alt )
Hi Zhivko, I feel sorry but
it’s not right what are you saying.
.
<< Pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + E all visible leayers will be merged IN A NEW ONE. >>
.
—> “In a new one” is the BIG difference.
Did you tried the difference with or without ALT Key?
This is great tip to me!
ooooops you are right Ciro 🙂
I did not pay attention enough to your typing.
Once again sorry 🙂
And press CTRL+Clic in one arrow next the folder icon and all folders of your file are open.
Et pressez CTRL+Clic sur la flèche juste à coté de l’icône du dossier et tout vos dossiers s’ouvrent d’un coup.
Thank you for the handy tips. I will make use of a few of these for sure.

thanks! couple more:
– when making a selection, press the space bar to move the selection to another starting point.
– when applying a filter, you can go to edit > fade to control the amount of opacity of the filter you just applied
great tips!
I already tried them and I am sure that will help me a lot. Especially the new mergred layers, the document center and zoom to 100%.
Thanks a lot!!!
What about if you use render elements with VrayWireColor and then you decide what to change? Does it work the same…
