Photoshop CS6 Mac Shortcuts
Now most of the shortcuts are more or less the same, where you only
replace the Ctrl key with the Macs Command. Sometimes you also
have to replace Windows Alt with Macs Option.
Open File - Command + O is where you start this time.
Create document - If there is nothing to open, Command + N will
create a new document.
Zooming in and out Although Command + plus and minus
work on Mac too, I seriously think zooming in and out with the
trackpad is faster once you get used to it.
Save for the web - Command + Option + Shift + S is the shortcut
for Macs.
Transform layer - Transforming the active layer happens when
pressing Command + T.
Edit key shortcuts - Customizing the shortcut keys can be done
by pressing Option + Command + Shift + K.
Preferences Command + K takes you to the Preferences.
Levels - Accessing the Levels box is similar to the Windows
shortcut, Command + L.
Curves Command + M will allow you to quickly edit the
Curves.
Hue/Saturation - To edit this, press Command + U.
Color Balance To edit the Color Balance of a picture, simply
pless Command + B.
Desaturate Desaturating can be done by pressing Command +
Shift + U.
Image size Finding out the Image size of a picture is simple: just
press Command + Option + I.
New Layer Create a new layer in the active document by
pressing Command + Shift + N.
Liquify Need to liquify? Then Command + Shift + X will take
you there in no time.
Invert - Inverting the colors in Photoshop on Mac can be done by
using the Command + I keyboard shortcut.

screen.
