Adobe Photoshop CS2 Keyboard Shortcuts


There are many times when our workflow could be improved, one of those things is the accessibility to commands and features of Photoshop. Though you may find a whole bunch of tutorials and articles in the Internet with list of shortcuts, sometimes you need to set your own or look for ones, which you don't quite remember. Playing with some of the shortcuts I bumped into a dialog that allows us to set those shortcuts and see what is already there:

[shortcuts dialog]

To access this dialog - press Shift-Ctrl-Alt-K. And the keyboard shortucts of Photoshop are at your fingertips.

Do you see this button "Summarize"? This button allows you to export all those shortcuts as an HTML page. I included here the sample of my shortcuts (default in Adobe Photoshop CS2).
