In order to speed up your work using Photoshop’s powerful but sometimes quite frustrating text tool, here are a couple of handy keyboard shortcuts you might like to remember:
- Commit text changes by pressing CTRL+Enter. (Pressing Enter on its own will just start a new line obviously!)
- With all text selected, you can hide the selection colour with CTRL+H to see an accurate preview. Useful when working with colour in particular!
- CTRL+Shift+Left or Right arrow keys selects the whole next or previous word.
- CTRL+Shift+< or > decreases or increases the font-size by 2 points.
- CTRL+Shift+ALT+< or > decreases or increases the font-size by 10 points.
- CTRL+ALT+Left or Right arrow keys increase or decrease letter kerning by 100.
- ALT+Left or Right arrow keys increase or decrease letter kerning by 20.
- CTRL+ALT+Up or Down arrow keys move the text baseline up or down by 10.
- ALT+Up or Down arrow keys move the text baseline up or down by 2.
- CTRL+Shift+L, R or C aligns the paragraph of text left, right or center.
Finally, and although not a keyboard shortcut, double clicking on the T icon in the layers panel will actually select all text in that layer.
Useful.







Download a Full Facebook Photo Album in Firefox
Gone are the days of opening an album, clicking on a photo and downloading each and every image one by one! (Needless to say, you should already be seeing the enormous time saver implications here)
Install FacePAD as you would any normal Firefox add-on/extension and once installed, set the language preference under Options on the Firefox Add-ons page. Now all that is left is to browse to Facebook, find an album you wish to download, right-click and select “Download with FacePAD”.
If your default download path in Firefox is set, you’ll get a javascript prompt to confirm and after clicking yes, all the photos contained in the set will be added to Firefox’s normal download manager and start downloading.
Couldn’t be any simpler! :)
