Taking Shortcuts In Creativity

I’m not one for shortcuts as I’ve learned that “shortcuts” of life have ended up being detrimental to me learning bigger life lessons. But, I have no issue with keyboard shortcuts. Especially in Photoshop.

When I started using Photoshop, I leaned on my friend Carolyn to help get me acclimated to the user interface and she always stressed learning keyboard shortcuts. I hated all the shortcuts, initially, but now I am glad I know them. Well, some of them.

I was recently sent this great infographic via Harvey Williams that may be useful for you all trying to learn Photoshop. It has all the keyboard shortcuts for Windows or MacOS. Check it out. And if you’re trying to decide if you want to get into the world of Photoshop, be sure to sign up for a free 30-day trial using my link. Thanks and best of luck learning and PRACTICING the keyboard shortcuts. Leave me a comment below if you’re still trying to master shortcuts in Photoshop or tag me on Twitter and Instagram.

Try Not To Blame The Tools

I love watching my YouTube subscriptions. Probably more than I love watching regular television shows. Recently, I watched another video from Darious Britt. This man is an inspiring film maker that has been helpful to many with his tips and tricks regarding telling a story. This video echoes telling the story, but it’s also about his camera gear.

It resonated with me because I KNOW i don’t have “the best camera.” But I’m fine with that (for now.) I know my lil’ Rebel camera can do a good job in most scenarios. If there are other situations needing a different camera, I just rent one. By the way, get $25 off of your rental from LensRentals using my link here. This is who I rent gear from with ease and with great rates. Anyway, back to Mr. Britt. . . .

Check out his video below. The message is great. Hopefully it will inspire you to keep on keepin’ on with the gear that you have. #CreateAndDominate
