Some essential Photoshop shortcuts

01. Show and hide the layers panel
• MAC: F7
• WINDOWS: F7
Quickly show and hide the Layers panel easily by pressing F7 on your keypad. This will also show and hide the Channels and Paths panels because they are grouped together.

02. Scroll through the Layers
• MAC: Option [ ]
• WINDOWS: Alt [ ]
To scroll through the layers quickly, hold Alt/Option and use left and right bracket keys [ ] to scroll through: right is up and left is down.

03. Create New layer

• WINDOWS: Shift+Ctrl+N
Get started on your latest project in next to no time with this handy shortcut that instantly whips up a new layer and dialogue box.

04. Fill a layer
•MAC: Alt+Backspace (foreground) or Cmd+Backspace (background)
•WINDOWS: Alt+Delete (foreground) or Ctrl+Delete (background)
This command will fill an empty later with the current foreground or background colour.

05. Flatten layers
• MAC: Cmd+Alt+Shift+E
• WINDOWS: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E
Add a new, empty layer to the top of your stack, select it and use the above command to flatten the layers in an image to sharpen the result. This adds a flattened version of the image to the new layer but leaves the stacked layers intact too.

06. Merge visible layers
• MAC: Cmd+Shift+E
• WINDOWS: Ctrl+Shift+E
This command enables you to merge all your existing layers to create one new layer. Beware! Once merged, they're extremely difficult to separate.

• WINDOWS: Ctrl+J
Use this command to create a new layer from an existing one.

08. Bring layer to top of stack

Here, you can move your preferred layer to the top of the stack of images you're working with in Photoshop.

09. Send layer to bottom of stack

Yep, this is pretty self-explanatory. It does exactly the same as the command above, but in the opposite direction.

10. Reselect
• MAC: Cmd+Shift+D
• WINDOWS: Ctrl+Shift+D
This is a great command for when you accidentally click away from a section. Pressing these keys will have that section reselected in no time.

11. Invert selection

Select objects around a pre-selected image. This way, you can work around your main focus without losing it.

12. Show/Hide Brush panel

13. Increase/decrease brush size

Getting your brush size just right is one of the most important aspects of Photoshop. Do it with this command.

Toggle between two colours without having to take your cursor off the image.

15. Save for web & devices
