OK, this is something that I need to improve myself. It's about "changing tools" when you are in photoshop. Instead of going over to your tool bar and clicking on the tool you want... you can use some simple keyboard shortcuts to change the tool you are working with.

Here's a few to get you started:

When working in photoshop, push "V" and you will be switched to working with the "Move tool.

Same thing happens with

B - Brush
T - Type tool
W - Magic Wand
M- Marquee tool
L- Lasso
J- Healing Brush
E- Eraser
C- Crop
P- Pen tool
H- Hand tool
Z- Zoom tool
O- Dodge/Burn/Sponge
I - Eyedropper
etc.

Try these out... learn what the keys are that call up your "Most used tools" and you will be finding your way around Photoshop quicker! :)

Have a great week!
