Let's remember how to do all these things in Photoshop!
- Navigate your basic windows, change view mode, change brush sizes
- Basic extraction (magic wand, quick selection, magnetic lasso)
- Dodge and Burn tools
- Basic masks
- Adjustments: Levels, Hue/Saturation, Black and White
And some more advanced techniques:
- Threshold extraction
- Channels extraction
- Opacity adjustment, Blend modes
- Layer styles

Below are some basic Photoshop commands and tools (copied from the Photo 10 site):
PHOTOSHOP BASICS
*** Make sure Caps Lock is NOT on!
Ctrl-J = Copy layer (do this right away when you open Photoshop. Just make sure after that you’ve
selected and are working on the top layer)
Ctrl- and Ctrl+ = Zoom in and out
Ctrl-0 =Zoom to full size (image fills screen)
Space bar + left click + mouse drag = move image over
F = Change view mode
B = Brush
The HISTORY tab (Window > History) will help undo errors. Ctrl-Z undoes one action. Don’t click too many times if you’re unsure about the quality of your work, as Photoshop can only remember a limited amount of actions.
J = Healing tools (If you hold down a left-click on that toolbar button, you will get options for the Spot Healing brush, Healing brush, Patch tool, and Red-Eye tool)
] and [ = changes brush size
SPOT HEALING TOOL: Use for small spots that have lots of “clean pixels” around them. This tool takes what is inside your brush and makes it look like what is immediately around it.
PATCH TOOL: In “source mode,” the Patch tool is used to surround “bad pixels” that you want to
change. You can then drag your selection to “clean pixels” and it will make the “bad” area look like the “clean” area.
Ctrl-D = De-select. Use this to clear a selected area. ESC doesn’t work for that in Photoshop.
CLONE STAMP TOOL (shortcut “S”): Use to copy (i.e.) “shovel” clean pixels onto neighbouring “bad” pixels. First you have to “Alt-left click” on an area of clean pixels, and then you can click on an area of “bad” pixels to cover them up. Use caution when drawing using this tool. Your source pixels will change depending on your path. When in doubt, take another source point (Alt-click) near the area you want to change.
When finished, first save all work as a .PSD file. (It’s the default), then save again as a .jpg.
