Photoshop Elements Keyboard Shortcuts - Mac and PC
An excellent way to speed up your editing in Elements, on either the Mac or PC, is to start using keyboard shortcuts.
When I first started photo editing I did everything using the
pulldown menus, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with doing so. As
I became more proficient I found myself starting to use keyboard
shortcuts. Even those these may seen, to some, an antiquated approach
(who else remembers the days of using something like Wordperfect with
huge keyboard overlays to help you remember eleventy hundred keyboard
shortcuts?) they can greatly increase your speed when doing common
tasks. For instance, it is far faster to do “<command>o” to open
a new file than it is to select the correct menu pulldown with your
mouse.
So, I have composed a list of shortcut keys to help those that wish
to use them. The list is not exhaustive but it covers all of the ones
that I feel you are likely to use frequently enough to make them worth
remembering.
Don’t worry if you do not understand what all of these keys do yet,
all will become clear as we explore deeper into the wonderful world of
Elements.
