How To Quickly Select The Top Or Bottom Layer (Photoshop CS and earlier Only)-I wish this still worked with new CS3 and above version.

Here's one that's just for people using Photoshop CS and earlier, since it no longer works in Photoshop CS2 or higher. To quickly select the top layer in the Layers palette, press Shift+Alt+] (Win) / Shift+Option+] (Mac).

To quickly select the bottom layer in the Layers palette (including the Background layer), press Shift+Alt+[ (Win) / Shift+Option+[ (Mac).

Ctrl + (zoom in)
Ctrl - (zoom out)
Ctrl D (deselect)

[Q] Quick Select
[Cmd+F] Apply Filter Again
[Cmd+A] Select All
[Cmd+W] Close Document
[Cmd+Q] Quit Photoshop [Mac]
[Cmd+Shift+J] Duplicate selection in new Layer
[Cmd+Alt+Shift+S] Save for Web

o wow, it is nice, thanks for your submission

And for Mac... a few handy functions I find myself using almost every time:

• TOOLS:
M = Square/Circular Marquee Tool
L = Lasso/Polygonal Lasso/Magnetic Lasso
W = Magic Wand
C = Crop Tool
I = Eye Dropper
B = Brush Tool
S = Clone Stamp
E = Eraser
G = Gradient/Paint Bucket
O = Dodge/Burn/Sponge Tool
T = Type Tool
H = Hand
– NOTE: Hold "SHIFT" as you press the above keys to switch between the alternate tools –

• COLOR MANAGEMENT:
X = Swap between both currently selected colors
D = Switch both selected colors back to Default (Black & White)
⌘+L = Light Levels
⌘+Shift+U = Make Layer Grayscale
⌘+I = Switch Layer's colors to opposite colors

• BRUSH:
}] = Increase Brush Size
{[ = Decrease Brush Size
1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/0 = Choose Percent of Opacity
– NOTE: A) Every number pressed once will switch to the according ten of that number
B) To get a specific percentage, e.g. 75%, press both numbers accordingly –

• MISC:
⌘+D = Deselect Selection
ESC = Cancel Lasso
⌘+F = Repeat Layer Effect
F = Toggle Full Screen Modes
– NOTE: To toggle through Full Screen Modes, be sure nothing is active (selection, lasso, etc.) –

There's plenty more, but aside from the obvious -TOOLS- I find these very handy.

My most-used shortcuts, used 100-100000 times in any given document...

Zoom in: Alt + Mouse Scroll Wheel Up (Photoshop & Illustrator)
Zoom out: Alt + Mouse Scroll Wheel Down (Photoshop & Illustrator)

Zoom in/out very very quickly: Ctrl + Space + Click and drag your mouse left or right. (Photoshop CS5 or later only; may not work on older computers -- requires OpenGL graphics support)
This is a feature called "scrubby zoom". When you first start using it, it will seem very very annoying and difficult to use. But believe me, once you start getting a hang of how it works, it will become the most invaluable tool in Photoshop for you. It will literally speed up your process 200%.


Along the same lines and used in conjunction with the above:

Hand tool: Space
Hold the space bar and click and drag with the mouse to move your document around while you're zoomed in to it.

Rotate document: hold R and click and drag with the mouse
This is a non-destructive full rotate of your entire document. What this means is that you are only visually rotating it and you can easily restore it to the default view by holding R and clicking on the Reset button up top. This is an insanely helpful tool for those of you that use a tablet to draw and do digital painting!

Very very helpful, thanks all
