[@joshuahowitz9884]

You are by far the best KZbin photoshop teacher/mentor. Very straight to the point with so much useful photoshop tips. Thank you for taking your time to show us less educated photoshopers

[@pixelgemini230]

WOW, at least half of this video just blew my mind! That first bit with the clone source manipulation is really going to advance my retouching skills!

[@ivandavis721]

Thank you, many times over. I use Photoshop nearly every day and didn't know the Cycle through brushes or the restore last selection shortcuts. That is going to save me so much time, I won't be saving and loading selections so often. Thanks again Jesús.

[@Romulusmap]

Clone rotation. So needed. Never bothered to check for so many years. Thank You! You're the best as always!

[@scomart]

Thanks for this list. Have had the cap lock thing more than I can remember. When I'm having a problem, I usually look there first.

[@redmike1]

Ton of useful stuff thank you. Not sure when I'll remember all the shortcuts but I became aware of things that I didn't know that could be done!

[@kevingeorgiades4879]

Good info here. Nice video. Definitely some things I already knew but a bunch that I had no idea. The clone shortcuts are amazing. I always did it with the tool panel. I was with you on the caps lock when I first started also.

[@deepakseth8534]

I was started learning photoshop from last week ..its really helped me lot thank you for sharing the these shortcuts..God bless you..

[@ignoigno1]

Thanks for making life easier!!! I didn't know many of these shortcuts.

[@alfaun]

Great video and I plan on trying out all those shortcuts. The caps lock/ crosshairs scenario happened to me as well....took me almost two weeks to realize what needed to be done.

[@robertcrozier28]

Brilliant info as usual, I will be starting to use some of these. Thanks heaps👍😁

[@jjhphotography]

Incredible tips! Going to try and implement these into my work when I need to.

[@ainsworthswaby]

I will be forever grateful for the clone tool tips.. ur the best man... And that CAPS lock really tripped me up, but thanks to you I'm over that now

[@srarizvi4882]

The shortcuts described/explained in this video- some are already known to me and some are new to me.... The video is of-course useful, it refreshes the old ones and teaches the new ones.... ThanX

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

You're welcome, SRA!

[@phgjvdv]

amazing tutorial Jose! again! thank you for these tutorials

[@deannawynn4445]

Clone tool adjustment and puppet warp! 🤯😬Thank you!!!

[@iSpike]

Fantastic mate. So many helpfull tips all in one video. You have really helped me learn PS a lot quicker. I do like your style of tutorials. Cheers Western Australia

[@trapizombo2012]

Caps lock - you saved my day. Many thanks from Portugal, bro.

[@visualsmov]

Thank you so much for the tutorial ✌️

[@eitmartinez]

OMG the CAPS lock key!!!!!!! Thanks Jesús.

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

You're welcome, eitmartinez!

[@swooshtat]

@@PhotoshopTrainingChannel CAPS LOCK, thank you for the sanity info!

[@lifeofdesmond]

It was my only issue that I'm freaking out when I start working on PS ooooh my! THANKS FOR HELPING US!

[@itssagarshrestha]

Same here..

[@santhoshkumar-dx5lz]

Me too😆

[@stanchung69]

Didn't know more than half of these. Cloning manipulation, those transparent/opaque, highlight & shadow layer masks. Painting brush tips are awesome. Useful advanced stuff. Didn't know puppet tool was in PS, only recently knew about it in Illustrator.

[@mustakuu81]

Yes it was a great trouble with the Capslock on and the shape of brush invisible. You are a life saver :) Besides the film is just amazing :) Thanks!

[@ytaffal]

Very Useful shortcuts. Thanks Alot

[@lindaberberich8325]

OMG...You are definitely not alone, the crosshair instead of my brush size thing has been driving me crazy! (And at this point in my life, that's a pretty short trip already!😜) These are a great set of tips. Really like the timeline markers below video too. That's another timesaver in itself... very helpful. Thank you!

[@gogivan88]

Very helpful. Thank You!

[@nikolycy9304]

VERY USEFUL! Thank you very much.

[@eckhardtk]

Thank you!!! Great video with useful tips.

[@AerialLensVideo]

VERY helpful -- THANKS!

[@divineintervention6493]

I ran into that problem with the paint brush didn't know what to do or how to find a video to fix it... by far one of the best tips yet !!! Thank You

[@tomografik]

Clone tool rotation is nice ! I was always rotatint the layer for fine tuning ;)

[@iancxxx]

This is the best collection of shortcuts ever

[@JustJimWillDo]

The first one, about adjusting the clone stamp tool was worth a like right there. I use caps lock a lot in Lightroom where it automatically advances the filmstrip after you rate an image. Very helpful, but it is easy to forget it's on when you move into Photoshop. I'm used to it now, but it was very frustrating the first few times.

[@sunilporeyana007]

Learnt a lot from your videos... Thank you.

[@AlexisBradley]

Thanks this is great!! And yes, I learned the CAPS Lock trick recently when I had that problem. Ughh, Y!! But when you know it, it's a very useful tool.

[@adawong4917]

very useful tips. thank you.

[@videodarshan]

Enjoyed very much, also learnt something new, Thanks

[@sabrosta]

Thank you SO much for the caps lock tip!!!!

[@joe_zupko]

Damn man these are some banger shortcuts!! No way I'm gonna remember all these. Didn't even know photoshop could do some of this stuff!

[@calbalu51]

Fantastic tips . Thanks

[@Bearhawk58]

This is a great video. Very useful and tolerable. If I had any friends I would recommend it to them. Subscribed.

[@ahmetemirakbulut]

Thank you so much. :) This video was very helpful. :)

[@almin1724]

number 14 is life saving!

[@kathleencrisp1]

Jesús thank you for another great tutorial. Appreciative Ps beginner. Happy Creating!

[@jkonoch]

Insanely useful! Thank you. My favorite new thing is the puppet tool. I wasn't even aware of its existence! I remember doing the Caps Lock crosshair and reinstalling PS back in CS4 or so when I first started using the software.

[@drewizaiah4030]

i know im asking randomly but does anybody know of a way to get back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.

[@tristianbrixton7668]

@Drew Izaiah instablaster =)

[@arasarchitectsdelhi8402]

[@veselinvasilev9362]

Thank you!

[@mousumicute2230]

Thanks Man, u save my time....!💚

[@larryrudnick1519]

I was actually trying to remember how the first shortcut worked, just 2 days ago. Thanks for the reminder and the others! I've also done the caps lock "mistake" but fortunately, my keyboard has a caps lock light and I saw it before I got too frustrated. :-)

[@lethidieuhien68]

Thanks so much!

[@b2unoo7]

great tut! i was training while watching but not all shortcuts work on my keyboard on win10 so i was trying to get out of cursor mode (i accidentaly pressed caps lock key) and i had no clue what is going on, but in next shortcut explanation on 9:30" you revealed that secret and i was like, wow, this is a savior, i havent needed to uninstall the app! ;) thanks a lot, keep up the great work on this channel!

[@woogie23]

For brush size and hardness on my Mac, I found the Ctrl+Opt+ Right click made the brush adjustment, no other key combination would work

[@navruzshodiev2280]

Thank you very much. I was wondering how to change this Cross-Hair Cursor

[@annayamirza4928]

thanks for guide sir

[@onate1978]

Option + Shift + minus or plus key while in the brush mode enables you to scroll through the different modes available in the brush blending mode.

[@arsalansuleman4215]

Thank you for this video you bring always unique info for us

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

You're welcome, Arsalan!

[@TrevorDennis100]

Jesús, I barely know what to say. I started this video hoping to learn a new trick or two, but they just kept coming. I bet fully half of them were shortcuts I don't currently use, but will be doing so going forward. You are always good value, but by heck this video was pure gold. BTW I doubt you'll remember me, but we met at MAX in 2016. I was there with Chuck Uebele TA'ing for Chris Cross and Bert Monroy, and we stopped to chat in the trade room, if memory serves. I'll put up a link in the Photoshop forum, because I am sure the guys will appreciate those shortcuts.

[@vfxmdhossain]

This tips tut deserves more than like, nd its love

[@tokyoshottokyoshot9545]

Thanks for the shortcuts. In fact I will use most of the them. And yes, I had that annoying caps lock issue as well but since I’m having a Mac as a second platform I was able to find out the solution without throwing the computer out of the window ;)

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

👍🙂 that's great to hear! lol

[@Narbewify]

best videos I've seen this week.

[@lenspassions]

[@belaltv7071]

Best tutorial in Photoshop cc

[@nositelle]

Thank you

[@hunainkhan3653]

Superb💕💕

[@carlkristensen8398]

I knew about 6 of them. I shall now have to watch this video 10 times so that I can remember those really usefull tricks. For the brush tool, I have tried it too, but I remembered what buttons I had pushed just before it happend, so I realized it could only be the Tab, the CapsLock, the Shift or the CTRL. So I pushed them simultanously and voila....! Back to the issue - Again a fantastic video From PTC :-D

[@dheerajagarwal4669]

THANKS ALOT

[@sadabahar2904]

amazing tips jesu's help me alot....love you from Pakistan.

[@kenseye8815]

great content!!!!!!

[@AndreasKemalis]

Greate video, brilliant info as usual. Thanks Jesus

[@stevengotz]

Nicely done. I am going to have to watch it again and make notes this time. Lots of good info. And yes, I had the caps lock problem, but no, I don't know anyone to play the prank on.

[@zcz3214]

Brilliant👍😁

[@mehdich85]

thank you

[@shizyninjarocks]

Bro Thanks, big time.

[@ronaldclata8285]

Thanks

[@kennerlyjomorala1658]

that caps lock really explained a lot. even though my preference is set to the preview brush, it has somehow become a crosshair...thank you.

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

You're welcome, Kenner!

[@Shooting0011]

SIR VARY BEAUTIFUL

[@rociolopez-bretzlaff9744]

Jesus, gracias for sharing the amezing tips... I must admit, I have one more to add. In order to 'slow you down' and be able to read the commands at the same time than follow you in your presentation... I have to change the settings to a playback speed of 0.75... that meant I don't have to stop and reverse, stop and reverse constantly... and that is coming from a fast-speaking Latina! The one that that would be totally awesome, it will be to have your presentation in a format that can be printed, so that the shortcuts are preserved along as when or for what to use them. BRAVO!! I learn a good deal today from you!

[@TPToE]

Glad I'm not the only one who was stumped by the caps lock key! Jésus, is there any way to rotate a brush via keyboard shortcuts?

[@jamalphotoshop1719]

wow.thanks

[@drshawnie]

All shortcuts that you shared are great Jesus! Thank you so much

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

You're welcome, Shawnie!
