Some Photoshop Tips from Jibz Actions

More Fun Photoshop Shortcuts.
The following are the Windows shortcuts. For Mac users simply replace the Ctrl with
Command and Alt with Option.

Ctrl + 0 - Makes the image fill the workspace

Ctrl + Alt + 0 - Zooms to 100%

Ctrl + + Zooms in

Ctrl + - Zooms out

Ctrl + Home - Takes you to the top left hand corner of the image

Page Down - When you are zoomed in, pressing Page Down will take you exactly one screen down. This seems obvious but I find that it saves time over holding the space bar and dragging the image.

Page Up - Just like above but takes you up a screen

Ctrl + Page Down - This takes you one screen to the right

Ctrl + Page Up - You guessed it. This takes you one screen to the left

Holding the space bar - As mentioned above if you hold down the space bar you can drag your zoomed image location wherever you want.

Ctrl + A - Selects everything in the active layer

Ctrl + D - De-selects everything

Ctrl + H - Hides the selection

Ctrl + Shift + I - Selects the inverse

Ctrl + T - Activates Free Transform for the layer or selection
