Default Mac users, favorite shortcuts for photoshop & scrapping?

Tell us your favorite keyboard shortcuts for scrapping.

Ok y'all, I've had my mac for a few months now, and my scrapping has been sporadic at best. I'm loving it so far, but there are certain things that frustrate me to no end, like certain shortcuts I used on a PC when scrapping, no longer work.

Would you share your go to shortcuts and what they do? I can find shortcuts online, but most don't relate to scrapping.

One of the biggest things I'm having the most issues with is figuring out how to change the color of words, or just blank layers. For example, one of Cindy's layered cards, before if I wanted a gray word to be pink, I would just do (I think CTRL, ATL, DELETE) and it would change the color to whatever I had selected in my foreground palette, but now, I have no idea how to do that them. So I'm either making a new layer, creating a clipping mask, or trying to fill it with a paint bucket. As you can imagine, it's slowly me down significantly.

Any favorites you have, I'd love to hear them. Keira (our oldest) is a senior now! So, I have some big projects I need to finish between now & May.

I'm a pretty fast scrapper and finally got most of my stuff organized after the move to a MAC. I just hate being slow again.

I choose the color I want to use and put it as the foreground color
then press shift and backspace and you get a popup window - you can choose foreground color here ... make sure that preserve transparency is checked ...
and okay...and your layer has changed color...

I'll try that to see if it still does what I did before. LOL!

Vanessa are you talking about changing the color of a text layer or something that's rasterized?

Something that’s rasterized.


this is why I can never find the answer when I Google, because I’m. Terrible at explaining what I’m looking for. ��

I’m such a visual learner.

That's the fun thing about photoshop, there are always so many ways to do the same thing. My go-to method for changing colors to use the hue/saturation tool by using cmd U.

I found what I was looking for, if anyone was wondering.

Shift Command Delete is the combo I was looking for.
