PS Elements Keyboard Shortcuts

[Dave Humphries]

I can never remember these, so here is a list (although I'm sure it's been done before).

Tool Selection Shortcuts

Hit the letter once to get there, and for the ones with multiple choices in a right click menu, hit again to cycle through the variations (e.g. L - L - L)
Which icon is visible depends on what you last used.

Grouped by Icon:
Blur Tool - Sharpen Tool - Smudge Tool (R - R - R)
Brush Tool - Impressionist Brush - Color Replacement Tool (B - B - B)
Clone Stamp Tool - Pattern Stamp Tool (S - S)
Cookie Cutter Tool (Q)
Crop Tool (C)
Eraser Tool - Background Eraser Tool - Magic Eraser Tool - (E - E - E)
Eye Dropper Tool (I)

Hand Tool (H)
Horizontal/Vertical Type Tool - Horizontal/Vertical Type Mask Tool (T - T - T - T)
Lasso - Magnetic Lasso - Polygonal Lasso (L - L - L)
Magic Wand Tool (W)

Pencil Tool (N)
Quick Selection Tool - Selection Brush Tool (A - A)
Rectangle Tool - Rounded Rectangle Tool - Ellipse Tool - Polygon Tool - Line Tool - Custom Shape Tool - Shape Selection Tool (U x 7)
