Question for G Mitchell (or other Photoshop guru)

[Spatch]

Whilst reading one of the tutorials on 'lights right' website I noticed that there were shortcut keys to creating a luminosity selection (alt+shift+ctrl+~) - very useful indeed. Is there one for a find edges selection, or do you have to go through the Filter/Stylize/Find Edges etc?

Cheers

There isn't one, but you can make a keypress for this.

From the Help File, "Customizing Keyboard Shortcuts"


To define new shortcuts:

1. Choose Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.
2. Choose a set of shortcuts from the Set menu at the top of the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box (Photoshop Defaults is the only option until you create a new set).
3. Choose a shortcut type (Application Menus, Palette Menus, or Tools) from the Shortcuts For menu.
4. In the Shortcut column of the scroll list, select the shortcut you want to modify.
5. Type a new shortcut. After you make changes, the name in the Set menu is suffixed with (modified).

If the keyboard shortcut is already assigned to another command or tool in the set, an alert informs you that another command or tool has the shortcut. Click Accept to assign the shortcut to the new command or tool, and to erase the previously assigned shortcut. Once you have reassigned a shortcut, you can click Undo Changes to undo the change, or click Accept and Go to Conflict to go to the other command or tool and assign it a new shortcut.
6. When you have finished changing shortcuts, do one of the following:
* To discard all changes and exit the dialog box, click Cancel.
* To discard the last saved change without closing the dialog box, click Undo.
* To return a new shortcut to the default, click Use Default.
* To export the displayed set of shortcuts, click Summarize. You can use this HTML file to display in a Web browser.
