Hello, everyone, and welcome back to this lecture where I talk about the edit menu shortcuts.
So let's open up Photoshop if you haven't already.
And the first thing I want you to do is create a new documents.
So we're going to use the keyboard shortcut that we learned in the previous lecture control and to create
a new document.
OK.
So if I click inside of Photoshop and I hit control n, we're gonna give it a name of Untitled for I'm
a hit.
OK, and then what I'm going to do is I'm gonna hit control shift s to save and we're gonna save this
on the desktop.
And now what I need to do is I need to create some content so we can learn about the edit menu shortcuts
because the ones we're gonna be focusing on here is undo redo toggle last state fade, cut, copy,
copy, merge paste.
And pay special.
Those are the first couple that we're to talk about.
So what I want to do is I'm going to create a couple layers here.
So go right down here and click on create a new layer.
And I'm going to grab the paintbrush and we're going to kind of go like this.
And then I'm going to grab another layer.
I'm a change of color to black in the mirror.
And then I'll do one more.
And let's just pick red, that's fine, and we'll do the same thing right now.
So we've created three layers.
So to undo something.
We're going to control Z.
OK.
So that's the first thing.
So you can see undo new layer.
Now, if we wanted to redo that, we're going to hit shift control Z and that will redo what we just
undead guy to toggle the last state.
We're gonna hit ult control Z.
So that's going to undo it again.
And then to redo it, we're just going to do control shift Z.
So basically what this does is it reduce and undo what we did.
And this is important because when you're working with multiple layers and you're editing, let's say
you're editing a picture and you're touching something up and you do 50 touch ups, sometimes you got
to undo what you're doing.
Once you get very good in it, you're going to do less, but you're still going to need that tool is
a very important tool in Photoshop.
OK.
So to do Faid, we're going to have shift control F.
OK.
And what that's going to do is it's gonna pop up here and you can select the mode and we can edit the
fade.
OK.
So what it's doing is we have this one layer selected layer three.
And we're adding a fade to it.
So we can feed it.
We can change the mode so we know difference.
We can do color burn.
You know, you can do all sorts of fun stuff that now to undo that.
What are we going to do?
We're going to have control zie and that's going to undo that effect.
Now, to cut this layer, we're going to hit control X, OK?
In fact, you're going to take control and select on and control X.
Now, if you wanted to piece this on a new layer, let's say you want to place on layer four.
Then what we're gonna do is we're gonna hit control V.
OK.
And if I wanted to paste it in place where it had shift control v.
OK.
If I want to paste into.
And I'm gonna hide these two layers so we can see what we're doing.
Alter, shift, control the paste into OK.
If we want to search, we're going to control F k.
So we can search inside of Photoshop for different things.
OK.
So if I hit that again, it'll disappear.
Content, aware scale.
If you had ult shift control.
See.
OK.
Now we know what the.
Continent where scale is basically where you can see.
The border of the layer, OK?
The other way to do that is control tea, which is the transform tool guy.
But that's an that's actually what I would be talking right now.
Next is the free transform tool is control tea.
And what that's going to do is let you move it around, resize it, etc. so we can change it and move
it over here in the corner.
OK.
If I hit.
Again, so shift control te.
I can shrink it down multiple times, so if I had control zie and bring it back up and then I want to
bring it.
I want to bring it down one.
I had control Scheft.
Likes to shift control tea.
Either way, it works.
Control your shift, control tea and what it's going to do is it's going to proportionally drop the
size down.
OK.
So if I do undo.
Actually, let's redo it.
So if I do control showbizzy again.
There we go.
And then do control Scheft t bring that down.
Then I can go to this layer, the black brush here and do the same thing.
And bring that down to size.
And then control t to transform it or move it.
And then there you go.
So that.
Is that now the color sardines we can do shift control?
OK.
And then you can edit the color settings.
OK.
Now you're wondering why, why is this sequence this way?
Well, the reason why it's that way is all the keyboard shortcuts are right here that we're going over
and now we're going to talk about keyboard shortcuts.
So in order to get there, we're going to do AWALT.
Shift control.
OK.
That's going to take you to the keyboard shortcuts and menus and what you can do in here.
We're on the tools right now.
But if I go to application menus were in the edit menu right now.
You can see all the keyboard shortcuts right here.
And you can add to that, you can click on one at a keyboard shortcut.
I'm not going to do that at this point, but that is a possibility of.
You know, changing up the keyboard shortcuts.
I want to keep it as default right now so you can learn the ones that they have.
And as you're comfortable, then you can move on to that.
If you see fit.
OK.
So I'm going to go to menus.
And so, like I said, you can go to any menu here and you can edit.
The Photoshop default keyboard shortcuts to whatever you want.
So if you wanted to change something, you could.
So that's the keyboard shortcuts and the menus.
So the.
So let me go rewind for a second.
If I had old shift control.
OK.
That takes me to a keyboard shortcuts guy.
If I hit up shift control m, that takes me to the menu section of that.
And if I hit control K, that takes me to preferences.
So that will take me right to preferences.
And then I can go in and I can work on whatever I need to and preferences.
OK.
So that's the edit menu.
Keyboard shortcuts.
All right.
So thanks for watching this lecture.
I'll see in the next lecture.
