3 Tips For Being Productive in Photoshop

After our last tip on quickly switching windows in Photoshop, you all suggested I do more. So I recently found three handy tips that saved me time.

Duplicating Slices with Option

Hold Shift and Change Values in Increments of 10

Any field you can change with your keys (up and down) you can also change in increments of 10 by holding shift. So instead of 70…71…72 it would be 70..80..90.

You can also scroll your mouse wheel to change the value.
