nice tips man! I think I should learn more keyboard shortcuts, they are definitely game changers
You're right, Colin. Core PS skills are essential to maximizing time spent in the app and keeping those skills sharp means repetition and that means regular practicing - you have to put in the time to reap the benefits that separate your work from that of the competition.
I'm using Photoshop since version 2.5 and still I found so much inspiration in your tutorials! Even though I'm familiar with everything you've said it is still so uplifiting for me. Thank you for your amazing contribution! Happy New Year! :)
Thanks for all your work Colin. This year I am looking to improve my overall skills in Ps but especially around composite photos.
Thanks so much! Love your videos and tutorials. Your teaching style and knowledge is unsurpassed. You've enabled me to expand my photo editing skills, style and vision.
You're definitely one of the best PS tutorial content creators. Clear, and communicative.
Thank you for 23 years of passionate teaching! So many start but few se it through and fewer still are as consistent. All my best to the best of the best!
Thanks so much
Again some useful tips. As I am older now, and not do PS frequently anymore, I start to forget things. So this is again some wake up call. Thank you
Thank you for all the information you give. I feel like I know Photoshop and Lightroom pretty well but I always learn something new from you.
Great tutorial. Those keyboard shortcuts are going to save me a ton of time. Thanks Colin 👍
Superb. Brilliant. Many thanks.
Thank you!
Thank you so much! I’m pushing myself hard to lean ps right now because it’s been on my bucket list for far to long. I can’t afford classes so I’m leaning from you and I like how you move slow and speak very detailed with every click you make because, I always have questions. Sometimes the battle is just loading the files in correctly 😅
Brilliant tips Colin - thanks for this and all the effort you put into your editorials.
My pleasure!
Thanks!
Great tutorials as always. I always get stuck at the end (well with all of it really) but your tutorials help a lot!, are you meant to group all the layers at the end, what is the best saving technique?
I started learning with the Photoshop 6 book! I don't remember if that was the one that was printed on Black and White, but it was so well explained and illustrated that I was able to understand it!!
Awesome tips as always! thank you!
Thanks
Happy new year to you . Well described tips . Thanks again .
Happy new year!
Just saved me so much time Colin - 100% helpfull
Glad to help
Hi Colin, thank you so much for all the years of learning Photoshop. I do run into a big problem with Brushes and Libraries. Every time Photoshop does a big update, like the annual ones, I loose all my imported brushes and my libraries are gone, in addition I loose plugins. I use a MAC Computer, do you know anyway to prevent this from happening, it's such a pain to reinstall everything yearly and sometimes more than once a year. Hope you have a solution and thank you again for all you do for us!!
This was the video I needed to motivate me to overcome my Photoshop fears! Thank you!
Yay! Glad to help
magic tips - cheers
Good tips. One observation. As you know you have to start a selection with the marquee first then hold down opt key to get it to draw from the center. I actually had to go to another video to figure that out (you didn't mention it in your example). Very minor but without it just doesn't work.
I've resumed looking through Flickr as a source for good photos. Instagram is done.
You rock Colin! I have been using Photoshop since 2000 and remember 6 for sure! I'm still amazed at how much I have missed in PS and see on your channel and go "duh" I should have known that one lol. Thanks for the great content!
You're welcome. It's hard to keep up wit all the changes.
Great tips, thank you. Checked your website for post-production in advertising, product and architecture photography. As I see none of them there. Maybe for future projects.
A very inspirational video, thank you! I will attempt your suggestion to spend some time everyday on Photoshop, even if just 10 minutes. I can go days without using Photoshop or Lightroom, so developing a routine of daily use is a good goal for me.
Go for it!
Omg this video let me speechless
Thank you for your generosity. I used 3 Photoshop Elements versions before taking the plunge and learning Ps. You have helped me with all your free resources. I have to work harder at composites. I gave up using a Wacom tablet though it would help me with restoration. Do you know a better tablet?
I personally think the Wacom is best. Were you using it correctly and did you install its drivers?
Hi.I don't have a down arrow in the search library??
Short-cuts are great, but often they have glitches - particularly after new releases. Often I find the short-cuts for flow and opacity will swap and be stuck for a week , then spontaniously flip back. Using Alt/right click to change brush size will change the active tool - another regular. Holding down Z for zooming on the fly often does not work; and the list goes on.
I started with your Photoshop 6 book. So we both go back a few days. I still have my copy. And of course we've updated our library with your subsequent works. Rock on in 23
Thanks for getting the book back in the day :)
Great 🔥👌
Thanks 🔥
Thank you for this and all your videos. I watch each video many times due to TBI. Without you and TH-cam Photoshop would be much more difficult for me.
You're very welcome!
nice
do not get the dialog box saying saved to default library with the manage button so cannot give choice where to save. All that happens is a jpg download to my download folder??
Make sure you are logged in and you have created a library
Hi Colin great video, how or where can I download the short cut keys too print off, keep the tutorials coming, there excellent 😊

@@photoshopcafe one guy said, edit each 5 brackets individually but that I’m sure would be very time consuming or backwards.
@@photoshopcafe Hi Colin, really getting in too your tutorials as I’m quite newb, however i know many basics but what I can’t find, which I was hoping you could help or maybe even make a short video is, firstly I do drone photography and have got so used to using my phone, I now have a new M2 pro and I am using photoshop, this is where I’m stuck, I usually do AEB x 5 and merge too hdr but, when manipulating the photo, one thing may look good and the other not so good or blown out, for love nor money I can not work out how to do layers which is maybe the way forward, so I can work on different bits then merge them together ? I am really struggling to even know what too press, my artistic skills are pretty good with colours lights and shadows etc, I’ve hunted high and low on here to see if there’s a step by step building layers to create a nice picture but have come to a dead end as the tutorials are a bit too fast, I’m at a point I feel like giving up trying which I don’t want to do, the other thing I see in a video and again I don’t know how to do it, is where the guy outlined his subject ( marching ants ) made the sky look great, so he could then put the detail back in the subject, I know this might sound like a tall order / ask, I’m really passionate about getting these basic skills so I can move on, I’m not sure if you have an email where I can message you more private or in the hope what you can offer ? Hope to hear from you Colin would be great, hope too hear many thanks.
how do you change patch tool to another tool under the same icon... content awawre etc??? with a keyboard i mean...
Shift + shortcut for the tool
@@photoshopcafe thank you very much :-)
Hi Colin. I tried to get the Free Photoshop add ons from your site with no luck. I am already subscribed to get emails from Photoshop Cafe... so I entered my email address and clicked the "UNLOCK THE FREE..." I've been waiting for over 2 hours now for my confirmation email and Yes I've even checked my Spam and other folders more than 10 times each... any thoughts?
Thank you for all your brilliant tutorials!
Click the direct link at botttom in todays newsletter :) you can sub when you’re already subbed
I need to understand how to organize brushes. I add brushes only to never see them again, lol. I am 89 years old so please keep it simple.😀
On point!
What pains me the most is selecting a subject like a cat everyone gives good examples using a solid background. But how often does that happen in real life? Also, not everyone uses a Wacom.🤔
Not receiving you newsletter....
Did you sign up? Please contact me at the support desk at PhotoshopCAFE.com and Ill fix it
Wow! I feel like I should have known about the free (instead of all) Adobe stuff. Oldtimers is not for sissy's.........Thanks again
🍾🍾🍾🎄🎉🎉🎉
Trying to use "free" link to vault was maddening. Had to give my email and subscribe in 2 different places. Never did work. Worked at trying to get shortcuts for over 30 minutes with no success. Making me give you my email for something free does not make it free.
I remember when Photoshop didn't even have layers.
Thanks!
