PC USERS SUBSTITUTE CONTROL

1) Use the Space Bar to bring up that hand tool to move the image around on the canvas.

2) Use the Control and Space Bar to quickly go from:

  • Fit on Screen
  • Actual Pixels
  • Print Size.

3) The Comm and "+" and "-" keys zoom in and out.

4) The Shift key adds and constrains selections, the Option key subtracts

5) Use the Zoom Tool to magnify edges for precise guide placement.

6) Use Command + S to frequently save after important edits

· Comm + V = Paste

· Comm + A = Select All

· Comm + D = Deselect

· Comm + S = Save

· Comm + S + V = Save As

· S = Clone Tool

· Use the Bracket keys ( [ and ] ) to decrease and increase your brush size.
