Adobe just released this helpful 2-minute video that shares 10 handy shortcuts you can use in Photoshop when working with layers.
Here’s a quick rundown of the 10 shortcuts (watch the video above for visual demonstrations):
1. Add layer masks to hide all
To quickly add a layer mask to hide all of a layer, just hold down the Option key on Mac (or Alt on Windows) and click on the “Add Layer Mask” button in the Layers panel.
2. Delete layer masks
Instead of dragging a layer mask into the bin, you can just right click the layer mask itself and delete it from the tooltip menu that appears.
3. Add a layer mask based on selections
Creating a layer mask of a selection you have made is a useful thing to do for Photoshop users. Clicking the “Add Layer Mask” button will reveal your selection, but if you want to hide it then you just need to hold the Option key on Mac (or Alt for Windows) while clicking.
4. Invert a layer mask
If you want to invert your layer mask, just hold Command + I on Mac (or Control + I on Windows) to quickly move between the two.
