This is great. I found the ctrl + 0 thing on accident once, and have been using it religiously ever since.

I look forward to using the Smart Filter, I never knew that existed. That’s one thing I hate about filters and so I have tried to avoid them until now.

Thanks for this post. I’ve already retweeted it.

I think one of the most invaluable efficiency tactics is something that isn’t even in Photoshop (but should be built into the program)…The Expose function in the Mac OS is EXTREMELY handy when working with multiple images, which I do daily. When I use Photoshop on the PC, I SERIOUSLY miss this function.

Are you listening Adobe?

the best one you just showed me is #4 Layer Comps – that would make things a little bit easier – off to try, thanks!

Double clicking the hand tool icon on the toolbar zooms the image to ‘fit to screen’.

Double clicking the zoom tool on the toolbar zooms the image to 100%.

Just another way of doing it…

Actually command option 0 = 100% and command 0 = Fit to screen
for PC it’s Control instead of command.

Try hitting the F key. It swaps between view modes which is a great shortcut too and the X key swaps background and foreground colours.

I use Option-Command-C (Mac) a lot to resize my canvas size.

Here’s another a lot of people don’t know: when drawing a selection marquee with the polygonal lasso tool, BACKSPACE removes the last clicked position.
