Adobe PhotoShop (really) Quick Tips

Adobe Pho­to­Shop Really Quick Tip Here’s a handy lit­tle key­board short­cut I learned from Deke McClel­land, mas­ter of all things dig­i­tal imag­ing. This lit­tle tip is pretty handy when you want to exper­i­ment with layer blend­ing modes on the fly.

As long as you have don’t have the brush, heal­ing, gra­di­ent, blur­ring or dodge/burn tools active you can use a key­board short cut to cycle for­wards and back­wards through the layer blend modes. The short cut is (for both Mac & PC):

shift + + (plus key) or shift + — (minus key)

If you had any of the other tools active, the same key­board short­cut cycles through the active tool’s blend­ing mode, which can be pretty handy too.
