How to reduce the text layer style
1. Quickly switch the ruler tool
When drawing a picture, you often need to switch between different ruler units. Opening "Preferences" is not the quickest way. Try this, right click on the ruler line and select the unit you want to use.Hey... switching units is just that simple!
2. Layer stamping
Layer stamping is a hidden feature in PS, and many PS tutorials have not mentioned it. But in reality, almost every PS old bird will use it.Simply put, layer stamping combines all visible layers to form a "preview layer." At first glance, it seems to be somewhat similar to the "layer merge" we use every day.
But the most different thing to merge with the layer is that the layer stamp will still retain the original layer for editing while generating the preview layer, and the layer merge is a real hammer sale, after the merger I can't split it anymore.
Layer stamping is usually used to temporarily generate preview images. In reality, we often use the shortcut key Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E to generate the “preview layer” (stamp layer), then right click on the stamp layer → “Quickly export PNG” The method of generating a preview image with one button is much easier than traditional image export.
3. Quickly switch the reference line direction
Reference lines are often used when making drawings. Can you quickly convert horizontal reference lines to vertical?Oh, the answer is yes
First open the “Move Tool”, then press the Alt key to directly click on the reference line, then you will find that the angle of the reference line has changed. And this skill, many old birds do not know!
4. Quickly select elements
When multiple elements are stacked together, selection becomes a hassle. The practice of many small partners is to right click on the element and select it with the layer menu. But obviously, this is not the quickest solution.Ok, let's teach you a little trick. Hold down the Alt key and click on the element of the picture, and the corresponding layer is also selected.
5. Move the layer up and down
What do you do when you need to adjust the layer order? Mouse dragging is right.In fact, we have a simpler choice, which is achieved by the shortcut key Ctrl+[or Ctrl+].
After clicking, the current layer will move up and down in the layer list, and the layer group is no problem. Let's look at the animation.
6. Select layers up and down
When it comes to layer movement, you have to say another trick. This is the layer selection. In the past, we used the mouse to click to select the layer.
In fact, you can also try Alt+ "[" or "]". Similar to Ctrl+“[” or “]”, Alt+“[” or “]” also operates on the upper and lower layers, except that one is moving and one is selecting.
7. Give your picture a "bird's eye view"
When drawing a picture, you often need to take into account the overall situation and details. Here is a little trick for you to click on "Window" → "Arrange" → "New Window for XX".Two windows will appear on the screen later, one showing details and one showing global. The two are synchronized in real time, but can display different display ratios!
8. How to deal with when the image is oversized
Many times, the material we dragged in may be larger than the entire canvas. The traditional way is to use Ctrl+T to resize the material.In fact, there is a faster way to click “Image” → “Show All”. Hey... it’s easy to get it!
9. Tips for layer groups
Everyone will use the layer group, especially some complex images, and will also involve layer group nesting. Here are three shortcut keys:* Ctrl+layer group: Open all level 1 layer groups;
* Alt+layer group: Open the current level 1 layer group + nested layer group;
* Ctrl+Alt+layer group: Open all first level layer groups + nested layer groups;
10. Quickly duplicate layers
Many small partners know that dragging a layer onto the "New Layer" button will quickly duplicate the layer, but there is actually a quicker way to do this by holding down the Alt key and dragging it in the layer list.If you have a lot of layers to copy, this technique can save you a lot of mouse movement distance. 13 Photoshop Tips and Tricks for Beginners
11. One button to get correction and repair
We know that the PS can correct the photo taken by the “Crop” → “Tighten” command, but there is a problem. There will be some blanks in the corners of the corrected photo, which need to be repaired again.
In fact, as long as you use "straighten", check the "Content Recognition" checkbox above, PS will automatically correct the corners while correcting the screen, and then we do not need to manually handle it!
12. One-click generation multi-plan preview
If you look at the plan for Party A, you can't just drop the picture directly, but it's really troublesome to stick a sheet to the preview table. This requirement can be achieved by using a "contact form" function in PS.The specific method is: click “File” → “Auto” → “Contact Form II”, select the picture to be processed, then determine the horizontal and vertical quantity of the preview picture, and then click the OK button. After the completion, a multi-plan rendering will be easy!
13. How to reduce the text layer style
When the text layer is zoomed, the style will not follow the zoom, which will lead to a result - the effect you have worked hard to achieve, but ultimately not perfect.In addition to resetting the layer style, are there other ways?
The answer is: “Layer” → “Layer Style” → “Zoom Effect”. After clicking, the style will be scaled according to the set scale, which perfectly matches the text size.
