Easy Photoshop productivity increase

I realised today in Animation class that I hadn't programmed some of my favourite Photoshop commands, things I've gotten so used to over the years that I often forget where the hell stuff is in the pull-down menus.

Any command or function you use commonly that isn't already assigned a Quick (or Hot) key is easily done. Most used by me would be to 'Convert to Greyscale', 'Convert to RGB', 'Convert to CMYK' and to flatten a layered image. You'd be surprised how often you will use the pulldown menu and how much time ends up being consumed on simple commands that Adobe should have assigned anyway.

Just thought I'd share the process.

Under the 'Edit' pulldown menu, near the bottom is 'Keyboard Shortcuts' (or Ctrl-Alt-Shift K). Simply look through the different pulldown menus as follows:

Pull Down Menu location

This will give you access to any of the commands available in Photoshop.

From here it is a simple process to assign new QuickKeys for any of your favourite or most used commands.

For example, I would assign the following:

CONVERT TO GREYSCALE - Ctrl-Alt-Shift G

CONVERT TO RGB - Ctrl-Alt-Shift R

CONVERT TO CMYK - Ctrl-Alt-Shift C

FLATTEN IMAGE - Ctrl-Alt-Shift F

Obviously you will have your own most used commands, but along with the benefits of learing the QuickKeys anyway, having your own sets will make your life and productivity that much easier.
