Huge time-saver! The Bad Default Styles, Gradients, and most default things This feature will allow you to close multiple documents and avoid clicking “Don’t Save” dozens of times. BONUS: Close All (Apply don’t save to all) It will appear when you zoom in very close to your image and it will allow you to snap your shapes or objects very exactly down to the pixel. There is also a Pixel Grid which is available by going View>Show>Pixel Grid. I love Smart Guides and think they are a big time-saving feature in Photoshop. Things like edge alignment, pixels moved, sizing, and alignment. Smart guides are amazing because they continually give you a heads up display of metrics surrounding the object you’re working with in Photoshop. Use this for when you still want to move your image around, but you’re already zoomed out. Turn this on by ticking the checkbox in Preferences>Tools. Press the letter “R” to enter the Rotatea View mode. This will allow you to get the best positioning as you use the brush tool for something like dodging and burning, or maybe something like masking or painting a selection with the quick mask mode. Use this tool to quickly shift your view point of the image, but not actually rotate your image. The hotkey to enter Quick Mask Mode is by hitting the letter “Q”.ĭouble click the quick mask icon and choose “Selected Areas” to be able to paint where you want the actual selection using the Brush tool and a foreground color of black. Use this mode to be able to paint a selection. This is a must-know feature for any Photoshop user! Quick Mask Mode Masking is the non-destructive way to erase parts of any layer or hide the effect of an Adjustment Layer for part of the image beneath that image. Go to the Channels panel and Cmd/Ctrl + click the channel thumbnail to load that selection. This will save your selection as a new channel. Save SelectionsĪfter spending time to create a complex selection, you can save that selection and preserve all of the work that you did by right-clicking within the selection and choosing “Save Selection”.
