Adobe creates some of the most robust and intricate software on the market, which gives you plenty of options. But it also creates a steep learning curve, with lots to practice and discover. Here are six Photoshop tips and tricks to help you make the most of your experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Learn keyboard shortcuts<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experienced Photoshoppers do their image editing quickly and easily thanks to a collection of useful keyboard shortcuts. Rather than searching through dropdown menus and submenus (which can feel especially complicated when new Photoshop updates come out), it\u2019s helpful to learn shortcuts for the tasks you&#8217;re more likely to perform frequently.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/helpx.adobe.com\/photoshop\/using\/default-keyboard-shortcuts.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adobe offers a fantastic list<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of keyboard shortcuts for a variety of tasks in Photoshop. Consider printing it out or bookmarking the page for reference as you learn.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Always perform destructive edits on new layers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re used to working in Lightroom, you\u2019ve already put in your time performing non-destructive edits. Essentially, adjustment layers you use in Lightroom don\u2019t change the photos themselves. The edits exist as a separate file, so you can always revert to the original image with no harm done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photoshop can work that way too, as long as you prepare your file and workspace correctly. When you open an image, it will appear as the Background layer. To keep that image intact and unchanged, make a copy of it by choosing Layer &gt; New &gt; Layer from Background.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll see an identical copy of your background layer appear on top of the Background layer. Now you can edit your background copy as much as you want, but still have the original version to revert to as needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_66478\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-66478\" style=\"width: 883px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-66478 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/photo-editing-software-photoshop-macbook-feature-1.jpg\" alt=\"best photo editing software laptop editing photoshop\" width=\"883\" height=\"498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/photo-editing-software-photoshop-macbook-feature-1.jpg 883w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/photo-editing-software-photoshop-macbook-feature-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/photo-editing-software-photoshop-macbook-feature-1-825x465.jpg 825w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/photo-editing-software-photoshop-macbook-feature-1-50x28.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 883px) 100vw, 883px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-66478\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image via Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Save your Photoshop files correctly for future editing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even the most experienced retouchers will occasionally flatten the layers of an image and save in the wrong format from time to time. It can be incredibly frustrating to want to tweak one minor aspect of your project, but only have a flattened jpg to work with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To avoid future headaches, save a PSD file of your most complicated editing projects. PSD files preserve your layers individually so you can return to them at any time for future photo editing and adjustments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to note that PSD files do take up more space than flattened JPG files, so make sure you have plenty of room on your hard drive. It\u2019s easy to upgrade your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/l\/Computers\/Drives-comma-SSD-and-Storage\/Hard-Disk-Drives\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">internal hard drive<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and even easier to add an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/l\/Computers\/Drives-comma-SSD-and-Storage\/External-Portable-Drives\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">external portable drive<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> if you need more storage space.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Practice using layer masks<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Layer masks are one of the most powerful Photoshop tools. Masks make it possible to hide any portion of a layer, and you can use them on as many layers as you need.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if you\u2019re editing a portrait and you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/how-to-lighten-brighten-eyes-in-photoshop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">brighten the eyes<\/a>, you can select just the areas you want to brighten by using a layer mask. If you want to soften the shadows on the face, you can add a second layer mask to perform that task. Add additional layer masks for darkening the background or tweaking the hair color. The sky&#8217;s the limit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The flexibility and reversibility of editing with masks makes them one of the most important skills to practice in Photoshop. The sooner you get the hang of them, the smoother your editing sessions will be.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Follow along with Photoshop tutorial videos<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the easiest ways to develop new Photoshop skills is by watching and practicing along with tutorial videos. Adobe maintains a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/helpx.adobe.com\/photoshop\/tutorials.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">large collection of Photoshop tutorials<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on their website, but if there\u2019s something specific you want to learn, you can also try a Google search to find a video tutorial that will help.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019d like to focus on expanding your Photoshop skills in general, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/Adorama\/videos\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adorama YouTube Channel<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or other websites like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/planetphotoshop.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Planet Photoshop<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are great, free resources to help you learn.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_70280\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-70280\" style=\"width: 2382px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-70280 size-full\" title=\"Adorama YouTube channel\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Adorama-YouTube-channel.jpg\" alt=\"Adorama YouTube channel\" width=\"2382\" height=\"1456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Adorama-YouTube-channel.jpg 2382w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Adorama-YouTube-channel-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Adorama-YouTube-channel-1024x626.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Adorama-YouTube-channel-50x31.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2382px) 100vw, 2382px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-70280\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Adorama YouTube channel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6.

There is no single correct path for editing a photo.
