Keyboards for Photoshop
These mini Photoshop keyboards are plug-and-play collections of shortcuts for some of the most common tools and actions Photoshop users click-click-click their mouse to call up. Anyone who deals with the application regularly - from graphics pros, to amateurs attempting their own touchups for social media, to novices who just want to cut and paste themselves into the family photo they missed - can create, alter, and enhance a little easier with keys and rotary knobs keyboard designer Konstantin of 3D Decors has built to help.
The square keyboard featured above includes 27 keys and 2 rotary knobs. The keys include both keyboard shortcuts and Photoshop tools, including:
- Save As
- Create New Layer
- Undo
- Levels
- Hue/Saturation
- Brush Tool
- Eraser Tool
- Clone Stamp Tool
- Magic Wand Tool
- Polygonal Lasso Tool
- Crop Tool
- Move Tool
The first of the Photoshop Keyboard's 2 rotary knobs can change the size of the Brush Tool, Eraser Tool, Spot Healing Brush Tool, Dodge Tool, Burn Tool, Sponge Tool, or Blur Tool once they're selected. The second changes Brightness / Contrast, Hue / Saturation, Color Balance, Opacity, Fill, and Scaling.
Konstantin has a handful of different Photoshop Keyboards, some square, some rectangular, and some modeled after old school cassette tapes with just the knobs and a few button functions.
