Expert Photoshop tips and tricks for designers and photographers since 2005
Photoshop Ninja expert tips roundup volume 1
I’ve been delving into the archive right back to 2005 to find out some classic Photoshop tricks for you!
I’m heading towards 200 pages of content published on this site and as the site has just had it’s forth birthday I thought it would be interesting to create a really good Photoshop Tips round-up.
So, what we have here is a small handful of great working practice tips for Photoshop that I published during 2005 – the first year that Photoshop Ninja was running. It’s nostalgic reading some of the archives – technology has moved on considerably just in four years, what with Mac Pro 8 core + 32 gig of Ram + 4 terabite drives possible from a machine I could go into town and buy right now (admittedly, it wouldn’t be cheap… but it could be done)… let’s not get into that tech nostalgia thing now!
Although posted quite some time ago, these tips are just as relevant today, so enjoy and maybe pick up a few new techniques for working smarter and faster in Photoshop!
Isolating layer transparency with another layer
Keyboard shortcuts for Photoshop filters
Zooming to reveal free transform handles
Editing multiple layers of type together
Showing and hiding layer masks quickly
Creating your own custom brushes
