Adobe Photoshop CS6 Shortcuts Cheat Sheet

Adobe Photoshop is probably my most used software program on my computer. I use it for work, for editing photos for my blogs, and for images I design for my social media posts. Since I spend a lot of my time using it, like in any other computer programs I use, I want to make sure I’m as efficient as possible, especially when I’m working on my laptop. This is why it’s important for me to know the keyboard shortcuts to various functions and features of Adobe Photoshop CS6 (version I’m using), as shown below.

I hope you find this list useful. These shortcuts have saved me a ton of time! In fact, I no longer navigate through Adobe Photoshop CS6 with a mouse and I feel so efficient. 😉

Are you getting married soon? Or there’s an upcoming celebration and you need a professional photographer to capture the special moments in one of the most important phases of your life? Well, look no more. The 12 Masters at your service!

The 12 Masters is composed of 12 photographers specializing on weddings. The main man, Marvin Dungao, is actually a high school batchmate of mine and he completely surprised me when I saw him posting his works on Facebook and on his website. So, I knew I had to blog about him.

If in case I’ll be getting married in the future, I will surely hire Marvin with the rest of The 12Masters. I so love the effects and feel of his photographs. He captures those special moments like he actually feels the couples’ emotions and passion for each other. Don’t get me wrong, he knows how to have fun as well. Oh, I tell yah, he’s pretty awesome. And this ain’t a sponsored post, okay? I’m truly amazed by Marvin’s work.

Let the photos speak for themselves:

blankPixels.com – The Final Theme

Yes! I have decided on blankpixels.com‘s final design and theme! After months of contemplating on my own blog’s design, I finally chose this theme and just made some tweaks to satisfy my color choices.

I was actually thinking of coming up with my own layout, but I’ve been REALLY busy. I did some searching for themes that I’ll fall in love with, but this was the only one that inspired me. Let me tell you more about how I decided on this theme:

 

Arthemia Theme

When i saw this theme designed by Michael Hutagalung, I fell in love with it. I was initially looking for a dark theme, but I loved the combination of dark gray, very light gray and white. I was actually looking for a black and white theme, but couldn’t find any that looked as clean, simple and yet beautiful as this one. Plus, when I saw this, I immediately knew what I wanted to do to tweak it.

blankPixels.com is using this Arthemia theme - blankPixels.com

That’s how this theme initially looked like. I changed the colors, removed the advertising on top to give way to a larger header.

I’m still not done adding widgets on the sidebars and footer. But, I’m done with tweaking this theme.

 

 

The Header

When I decided to change the niche of this blog to a general geek blog, I already had a header design in mind. And, I found just the right vector for it. I just changed the colors of the hair of that geeky girl to match my hair color.

I love the simplicity of the header I made. It’s simple yet fun. Well, that’s my opinion. *LOL*

I really need to finish the whole layout now. I still have no posts under Headlines and Features (this post will be the first). And I need to find other widgets that I’ll place on the footer. I can’t wait to finally post some more geeky stuff on here! Keep posted! 🙂

 

What do you think of my blog’s theme?!
