Keyboard Shortcuts

The Adobe applications allow us to customize keyboard shortcuts. Use Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts…, create a new Set based on the defaults, and you can tweak or invent shortcuts for the commands you use most. What follows are many of Photoshop’s default shortcuts. I’m using this convention, as I have throughout the book:Mac version/Windows version.
