\"Need<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

So, I have a question for you today. Do you need a handy reference for some of the most popular\/useful keyboard shortcuts in Photoshop Elements (PSE)? I know I never seem to have one handy when I need it quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t get me wrong. I know there are lots of tips\/tutorials on the internet. But most of the time they really aren\u2019t all that handy (in my opinion). So, I decided to put one together for myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And today I\u2019m going to share it with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Popular PSE Shortcuts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Please be aware that the version I am currently running is PSE 2022. I also want to remind you that I am in the United States (US). The reason I bring this up is that recently in a discussion with a \u201ctechie\u201d friend of mine, he reminded me that most major software brands (potentially Adobe) can have different versions of their software depending on the region\/country in which it is being sold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So why is it important that I note those two things now? Simply because I cannot guarantee that all of the shortcuts I\u2019m about show you will work if you are running an older version of PSE or you are outside the US. I do however, believe that most of these will work just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> All of the shortcuts shown below are ones available when working in the Expert workspace. And they are organized alphabetically by \u201caction\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n

In those tables above you will see something that might look either like a typo or a repeat of sorts. Notice that Create New Layer Via Copy & Duplicate Layer both show the same shortcut key combination. The reference for \u201cnew layer via copy\u201d is meant to point out that you can use this shortcut if you are copying a selection to a new layer not only when you are trying to make a duplicate copy of an existing layer. I hope this makes sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know these table images may appear small depending on the device you\u2019re using. But if you click on the image it should open it at \u201cfull-size\u201d in another tab\/window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here\u2019s a handy little graphic showing you some of these shortcuts cross-referenced to the Tool Options Panel.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Shortcuts<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

You can find a complete list of all the PSE keyboard shortcuts<\/a><\/strong> on the Adobe site. They are broken into different sections for Tools, Layers Panel, Blending Modes & more. The fact that they\u2019re not all in one place is exactly why I find it less than handy. You can download a PDF containing ALL of them on the page that the above link accesses. But again, it will be organized by these different sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you like the shortcut images above you can right-click on them which should allow you to save them in \u201cfull-size\u201d to your hard drive. I\u2019d also be happy to send you a PDF version of my shortcut document. Just \u201cMessage Me<\/a><\/strong>\u201d to get a copy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
