Photoshop - Magic Key Shortcut settings

P - Pen

U - Anchor

This is the big one^ The anchor is so valuable and saves artists lots of time for stuff like lineart, sketching, etc. It’s not in the default photoshop settings but it is so recommended to have in the shortcuts.

G - Gradient

S - Smooth

I switch smooth to S. sculptors need it ZBrush so, why not painters/illustrators?

H - Sharpen

O - Dodge/Burn

I - Eyedropper

B - Brush

Q - Quick Selection

Not in default settings but man, is this a powerful one.

W - Wand

Let’s begin looking at the wand tool as an opportunity rather than a random quick selection. Random can also be unexpected. This actually is a handy tool for photomanipulations as it will intuitively separate contrasted darks from the lights in your chosen photograph

M - Magic Lasso

I want to have the magic lasso by my side at all times, especially for things like landscape designs or general photomanipulations. this is a great one for building terrains or if you generally are looking for a reliable contrast-edge delivery to the canvas.
