You must know the ten things Photoshop opens (top)

Adobe Photoshop is one of the most popular graphic design softwares. It can be said that as long as you are in touch with graphic design, you must deal with it no matter if it is morning or evening. There are so many things to say about Photoshop, but whether you want it to be your right arm or just use it to do some of the most basic image processing, then the following 10 things are all you must know , whether you are a beginner or already have a certain understanding of it.

1. The use of shortcuts: This is the basis of Photoshop, but it is also the best way to increase work efficiency. The use of shortcut keys allows you to focus your efforts on your work rather than the tool panel. Once you are able to use the shortcut keys, you can use the full screen mode of work, eliminating the need for unnecessary panel positions, so that the field of vision is more open, maximize the use of screen space; some simple commands can be done using the keyboard, without points The mind is in the choice of tools, even if it takes only a very small amount of time, but we prefer not to be interrupted at work.

Note: You should use shortcut keys as much as possible. The following shortcut keys are a good helper for improving efficiency, but I do not know why many books have been passed by or have not even been mentioned. Please be sure to keep in mind.

Ctrl+J: copy the current layer to a new layer;

J: Switch to spray gun tool;

M: switch to marquee tool;

[]: When the current tool is in pen mode (including spray gun, brush, pencil, imitation stamp history brush, eraser, and blur and deepen tools), increase or decrease the size of the pen;

Shift+BackSpace: Calls up the fill dialog.

In the beginning, you may not be able to remember all the shortcuts. You can use Photoshop's tooltips to help you. The method is to open Edit> Preferences> General and select Show Tool Tips. This way, when you move the mouse over the tool palette, the tool name and its shortcuts will appear until you remove the mouse.

2. Seamless graphics: Whether it is for the production of 3D images or web pages, seamless textures are important, and we can easily do it in Photoshop. After customizing your image, run Filter> Miscellaneous> Displacement, Displace Horizontally and Vertically. Normally, set the displacement to half the size of the image. The most important thing is to set the undefined area as foldback. After the displacement is completed, use the rubber stamp tool to smear the image, eliminate the seam, and then define the image as a pattern. Fill this pattern to create a seamless background image.

3. Custom Actions for Common Combination Commands: In processing images, we will use combination commands in many cases. For example, you need to move a multi-level image document to another document. The quickest and safest method is: create a new layer of Shift+CTRL+N; combine all visible layers below Shift+Alt+CTRL+E; select all images Ctrl+A; copy CTRL+C; deselect Ctrl+D; delete Current layer. This set of commands is to create an image for the image. It contains all visible layer images below the current layer. At this time, the contents of the image have been left on the clipboard. Just paste it in the desired document. Now. This is a very typical example. Although you can use a series of shortcut keys to complete this set of commands, it is recommended to save it as an action. In the action options panel, you can set a convenient function key for this action. Such as Shift + F2, so you call at any time, very convenient, especially when importing images from Photoshop into other applications, the time saved is quite impressive! These different combinations of Shift, Control and F2 to F12 can define a lot of actions and greatly increase efficiency.
