Custom photoshop shortcuts

In out article last week about photoshop shortcuts I talked about how important keyboard shortcuts can be in Photoshop to save you time. Photoshop has a good amount of shortcuts already programmed into the app but I always find myself using other menu items that don’t have a shortcut. Thankfully Photoshop has a easy way to create your own keyboard shortcuts. To access this menu click Edit –> Keyboard shortcuts.

For this example I will create a keyboard shortcut for a common setting I change the Shadow Highlight setting under the Image — Adjustment menu.
All you have to do is find the menu command in the list, click on the shortcut column and then type in your keyboard shortcut. I will use Control + Command + S for Shadow/Highlight. Click the Accept button and thats it!

One note, if you do choose a keyboard shortcut that is already in use (for example I use Shift + Command + F for Flatten, but by default Photoshop has that as Fade). It will warn you that shortcut is already in use and if you click accept it will be removed from the existing.
