Photoshop shortcuts – Function keys

If you use Photoshop frequently, you may want to learn some keyboard shortcuts to speed up your workflow and save time. In this blog post, we will introduce some of the most useful shortcuts that involve the function keys F2, F3, and F4.

F2: Cut

The F2 key is equivalent to the Edit > Cut command, which removes the selected area or layer and places it on the clipboard. You can also use Ctrl+X (Windows) or Command+X (Mac) for this shortcut.

F3: Copy

The F3 key is equivalent to the Edit > Copy command, which copies the selected area or layer and places it on the clipboard. You can also use Ctrl+C (Windows) or Command+C (Mac) for this shortcut.

F4: Paste

The F4 key is equivalent to the Edit > Paste command, which pastes the contents of the clipboard into a new layer or onto the existing layer. You can also use Ctrl+V (Windows) or Command+V (Mac) for this shortcut.

These three shortcuts are very basic but essential for any Photoshop user. They allow you to quickly move, duplicate, or modify parts of your image without using the mouse. You can also combine them with other modifiers such as Shift, Alt, or Ctrl (Windows) or Shift, Option, or Command (Mac) to perform more advanced actions such as pasting in place, pasting into a selection, or pasting as a smart object.

We hope you found this blog post helpful and learned something new about Photoshop shortcuts. Stay tuned for more tips and tricks on how to use Photoshop efficiently and creatively.
