Seventy-five Tips for Dobe Photoshop (3)

*Command skills

22). To use the filter you just used again, select Filter/Last Filter [Ctrl+F] from the menu; use the new filter with the newly used filter and add an Alt key ( Ctrl+Alt+F Or Alt + Filter/Last Filter ). Tip: To retire the last used filter or the entire effect (or change the compositing mode), press Ctrl+Shift+F (Filter ? Fade Filter).

23). If you recently copied a picture to the clipboard, Photoshop will use the size of the picture in the clipboard as the default size of the new image when creating a new file [Ctrl+N] (File/New...). To skip this feature and use the last setting, hold down the Alt key [Ctrl+Alt+N] (Alt + File ? New...) when it is open.

24). Press Ctrl+Alt+Z and Ctrl+Shift+Z to go back and forth respectively in the history (or use the menus in the history panel to use these commands). Use these hot keys in conjunction with the Restore [Ctrl+Z] (Edit/Undo) command to freely switch between history and current state.

25). Alt+Backspace and Ctrl+Backspace key combinations fill the foreground and background colors, respectively, another very useful hotkey is Shift + Backspace - - open the fill dialog box. Tip: Press Alt+Shift+Backspace and Ctrl+Shift+Backspace to fill only the existing pixels (keeping the transparent area) filled with foreground and background colors.

26). When you use the free transform tool [Ctrl+T] (Edit/Free TransFORM), hold down the Alt key (Ctrl+Alt+T or Alt+Edit/Free TransFORM) to copy the original layer first (in the current selection) ) Then transform on the copy layer. Tip: Ctrl+Shift+T (Edit/TransFORM? Again) is to perform the previous transformation again, and Ctrl+Alt+Shift+T(Alt+Edit/TransFORM/Again) is to perform the transformation after copying the original image.

27). To prevent the use of the crop tool [C] (Crop Tool) when the marquee is snapped onto the picture border, hold down the Ctrl key while dragging the control point on the cropping tool marquee.

28). To correct the tilted image, first draw a line (such as the border of the image, the door frame, the horizontal lines between the eyes, etc.) on the drawing with the measurement tool as the horizontal or vertical reference, and select Image from the menu. /Rotate Canvas/Arbitrary, after opening it will find the correct rotation angle has been automatically filled out, just press OK to OK. Note: You can also use the cutting tool to complete the rotation and cutting work in one step: first draw a box with the cutting tool [C], and drag the control point on the box to select the angle of the entire check box. Size, finally press Enter to achieve rotation and cutting. Tip: The angle measured by the measuring tool is also automatically filled in the Number/Transform/Numeric dialog box.

29). Use the "Layer/New/Layer Via Copy" or "Layer/New/Layer Via Cut" command to get in one step Complete the work between copy & paste and cut & paste. Note: By copying (cutting) new layer commands, they are still placed in their original places, but they are pasted (cut) & pasted to the center of the picture (or selection).

30). After cropping the image (with the Crop tool or Edit/Crop selected) all pixels outside the crop range are lost. To cut without loss, use the "Image/Canvas Size" command instead. Although Photoshop will warn you that it will perform some cuts, but for some reason there is actually no - all "cut off" data is kept outside the screen. Tip: ImageReady's cut command (Image/Crop) asks if you want to delete the clipping area or hide it. Note: This has no effect on the index color mode (using the canvas size command in index mode will lose pixels outside the screen).

31). Press Alt key [Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E] (Alt + Layer/Merge Visible) to merge all visible layers and merge them into the current layer. Tip: It is also possible to hold down the Alt key while merging layers (Layer/Merge Down). This will copy the current layer and merge it into the previous layer. There is no corresponding hotkey for this command – Ctrl+Alt+E does not work.
