Adobe first introduced the ability to customize our own keyboard shortcuts in Photoshop CS, which means you’ll need Photoshop CS or higher to follow along. Prior to Photoshop CS, we were basically stuck with whatever keyboard shortcuts the good folks at Adobe felt like giving us.

These days, that’s no longer the case. You can now assign a keyboard shortcut to pretty much anything in Photoshop, from Menu Bar options and commands to palettes and palette options, filters, adjustment layers, tools, or whatever you like!

We can even change any of the shortcuts that Adobe has built in to Photoshop! If you’re the type of person who loves customizing things to suit your own style, or you just want to be able to work faster in Photoshop, you’ll definitely want to check out this great feature.
