Photoshop Shortcuts You NEED to Know for Faster Editing!

Photoshop Shortcuts You NEED to Know for Faster Editing! I will show you a bunch of quick keys every photographer should know to improve your editing speed.
Photoshop quick keys, or keyboard shortcuts, are combinations of keys that perform specific actions or commands in Photoshop without needing to navigate through menus. They help streamline your workflow, saving time and improving efficiency.

Here’s what they do:

1. *Speed Up Workflow:* Quickly perform tasks like zooming, selecting tools, or adjusting layers without interrupting your creative process.
2. *Enhance Precision:* Use shortcuts for precise actions, like nudging objects or adjusting brush size incrementally.
3. *Access Tools Instantly:* Switch between tools like the Move Tool, Brush Tool, or Lasso Tool with a single key.
4. *Simplify Repetitive Tasks:* Easily duplicate layers, merge elements, or undo/redo actions.
5. *Customizable Workflow:* You can customize shortcuts to suit your workflow or remember them more easily.

For example:
**Ctrl/Cmd + Z**: Undo
**B**: Brush Tool
**L**: Lasso Tool
**Ctrl/Cmd + T**: Free Transform

Mastering these can significantly boost productivity, especially for repetitive or complex edits.

Shutter Bug Academy is my second photography tutorial channel. I am passing my my love of everything photographic to viewers on YouTube and as supplemental material for your college classes. Most books are severely out of date because Adobe updates programs twice a year. I am quickly replacing material online, and keep Shutter Bug Academy up to date.
I will focus on learning digital photography, Adobe Bridge, Adobe Lightroom Classic (which is the desktop version not an old version), Adobe Camera RAW, Adobe Photoshop, Final Cut Pro X, and Photo Mechanic. I will probably throw in some WordPress, and OBS after I build the playlist.
It is difficult to produce videos for everyone. Some viewers just want the how to, and some want all the information. I will do my best to keep the videos shorter, but with relevant information. Remember my students use this information.
The playlist I will be creating except Advanced Adobe Photoshop will be meant to watch in order. They are designed for you to watch, practice, then move on. If you these programs all have secret tricks and hacks you will be disappointed. Do not be fooled by click bait. Just because you make a one-click action, it will not work perfectly with every image. You will usually need to understand how to modify that adjustment.
ADOBE BRIDGE-is a browser designed to let you quickly look at any type of Adobe file.
ADOBE LIGHTROOM CLASSIC-is a hybrid program. It is a photography browser, RAW conversion program, and photo editor, It does allow you to make a slideshow, web page, and book but truth that is old technology.
ADOBE CAMERA RAW-is exactly the same as the Adobe Lightroom Classic develop module. It is a RAW conversion program and photo editor.
ADOBE PHOTOSHOP-is a photo editing program that works non-destructively. It has been integrated with AI, and is the industry standard.
PHOTO MECHANIC-developed for journalism and editorial photographers. It is the industry standard photography browser. It focuses on simplicity, speed, captioning, code replacement, and variables. I just love it.
FINAL CUT PRO X-is Mac video editor. If you use a Mac, it's speeds are superior to Adobe Premiere. Adobe premiere is an excellent program, but for the basic video editing I use, FCPX is optimized for the MAC environment.
I have been using MAC's since 1988. I have never used a Windows or Linux computer. I do my best at passing on the quick keys for windows.
MAC OS Sonoma 14.5
