10 Top Photoshop Tips Part 1

1) Auto-Select a Layer - Hold down the Cmd/Ctrl key and at the same time click on a layer in the main image window in Photoshop.

2) Remove Color - Removing all color from an image without going into grayscale mode simply press Shift+Cmd/Ctrl+U ('Desaturate') while still in RGB mode to make your mage grayscale. Another option is to use the channel mixer which will actually create a better result. In this option, all you need to do is click on the Grayscale Option

3) Move Selection to its Own Layer - Copy the selection by pressing Cmd/Ctrl+J. Press shift+Cmd/Ctrl+J to cut and move a selection.

4) Hide the Selction Marquee ('Marching Ants') - Press Ctrl/Cmd+H.

5) Feathering – When setting a feather using the Lasso Tools, press the Return/Enter key. This will highlight the Feather field in the Options palette and you can enter or change the value.
