Tips for Photoshop Designers 2023 in English 


If you're new to Adobe Photoshop, the number of panels, icons, and tools on your screen can be a bit overwhelming. Adobe makes very robust and complex software and offers many options. But it's also a lot to practice and explore, which creates a steep learning curve.


1: Learn keyboard shortcuts

Experienced Photo shoppers can make image editing quick and easy thanks to a collection of handy keyboard shortcuts. Instead of fumbling through drop-down menus and submenus (which can feel especially complicated when new Photoshop updates come out), learning shortcuts for the tasks you'll need to do more often is better.

2: Always perform destructive edits on new layers

If you're used to working in Lightroom, you've already spent time doing non-destructive editing. The adjustment layers you use in Lightroom don't change the image itself.

To keep this image unchanged, make a copy from the background by choosing Layer > New > Layer. A copy of the same background layer appears above the background layer. Now you can modify the background copy as you like but still rely on the original version when needed.

3: Save your Photoshop file for future editing

Even the most experienced retouches sometimes flatten the layers of an image and save it in the wrong format. It can be very frustrating when you're trying to tweak a small aspect of your project and all you have is a flattened JPG file. Save PSD files of your most complex editing projects to avoid future headaches. PSD files keep layers separate so you can always refer to them for future photo editing and adjustments.

4: Practice using layer masks

 Masks allow you to hide any part of a layer and you can use masks on as many layers as you want. For example, if you want to soften the shadows on your face, you can add a second layer of His mask to do that task. Add a layer mask to darken the background or tweak the hair color. The sky is the limit. The sooner you get the hang of it, the smoother your editing session will be.
