For the most part, anytime you see CTRL for PC, you can substitute COMMAND on Mac, and anytime you see ALT for PC, you can substitute OPTION on Mac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s one notable exception to this rule. On newer Mac laptops, if you want to access the Function keys, you need to first press the FN key. On Mac desktops and PCs, however, no FN key exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"insert-cta light\">\n        <div class=\"grid\">\n            <div class=\"grid__item\">\n                Clipping Path vs. Masking: What\u2019s the Difference?            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"grid__item action\">\n                <div class=\"btn-arrow btn-arrow-purple\">\n                    <a class=\"btn-path btn-path-blue\" href=\"https:\/\/pathedits.com\/blogs\/tips\/clipping-path-vs-masking-difference-comparison\">LEARN MORE<\/a>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">List of basic Photoshop key command shortcuts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning Photoshop shortcuts can save hours of valuable time.

data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/photoshop-shortcuts-cheat-sheet-product-photo-editing.png\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Photoshop shortcuts guide for PC and Mac, listing commands for product photo editing tasks\">\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to these basic shortcut key commands, there are additional task-specific shortcut keys each section below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 Photoshop shortcuts to know for general photo editing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Keyboard shortcuts for working with layers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t see the Layers panel in your application, simply type F7 (FN + F7) to make it visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Toggle between blending modes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Blending modes on your layers allow you to affect how the layer interacts with the image in the layer below it. You control the blending mode in the Layers Panel. If you&#8217;re unsure which blending mode would be best for the look you are trying to achieve, you can quickly toggle through available blending modes by selecting the layer and typing SHIFT + ALT + + (SHIFT + CTRL + +).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/photoshop-layer-mask-overlay-editing.gif\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Woman in lavender dress with pink flower overlay, Photoshop layer panel open for mask and opacity adjustments.\">\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Merge Layers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To merge your visible layers into one layer, type SHIFT + CTRL + E (SHIFT + COMMAND + E). To merge your selected layer into the layer beneath it (merge down), type CTRL + E (COMMAND + E).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Duplicate and Stamp Layers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To duplicate the layer you have selected, type F4 (FN + F4). In order to copy all layers into a new, merged layer (stamping layers), type SHIFT + ALT + CTRL + E (SHIFT + OPTION + COMMAND + E)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. How to use keyboard shortcuts to adjust colors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Color Balance<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To quickly bring up the Color Balance dialog box, select the layer you wish to adjust and type CTRL + B (COMMAND + B). Color Balance allows you to adjust the colors for shadows, midtones, and highlights. As you work with the sliders in the Color Balance dialog box, make sure you have \u201cPreview\u201d checked so you can see your changes in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/photoshop-color-balance-adjustment-preview.jpg\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Woman in lavender dress adjusting color balance in Photoshop with preview option enabled, showing cyan and magenta tones.\">\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Note<\/strong>: If you want to adjust the color balance for all layers: create a stamped layer to work with, or create a Color Balance Adjustment Layer above all visible layers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hue \/ Saturation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hue \/ Saturation dialog box is similar to Color Balance in that it gives you the ability to adjust colors and tones of your image. However, Hue \/ Saturation allows you to adjust all colors in your image in one direction, and also gives you control over tint and saturation of your image instead of focusing on enhancing particular colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The keyboard shortcut for Hue \/ Saturation is CTRL + U (COMMAND + U). Any adjustments you make in the dialog box that appears will affect the current layer or current selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/photoshop-hue-saturation-adjustment-color-change.jpg\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Woman in dress with selected hue\/saturation adjustment in Photoshop, showing hue shifted to +180 for color change effect.\">\n\n\n\n<p>You can use the Hue slider to change the color of a particular portion of your image; however, use caution if you intend to adjust the entire image as the results can be very drastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also choose specific colors to modify from the dropdown menu that says \u201cMaster.\u201d In this image, the woman\u2019s dress is the only portion of the image that is mostly magenta. Therefore, we can choose \u201cMagentas\u201d from the dropdown menu and adjust the Hue Slider to change her dress color without affecting the rest of the image too much. This allows us to save the time we would otherwise need for creating a selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/photoshop-target-magentas-hue-saturation-adjustment.jpg\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Woman's dress color adjusted in Photoshop using hue\/saturation, targeting magentas with hue shifted to -126\">\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. How to make an image black and white<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Hue \/ Saturation dialog box, you have the option to move the Saturation slider all the way to the left, which will make your image black and white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/photoshop-desaturate-image-grayscale-hue-saturation.jpg\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Woman\u2019s image desaturated to grayscale in Photoshop using hue\/saturation with saturation set to -100.\">\n\n\n\n<p>This method will work in a pinch, but there are other ways to make your image black and white that are just as quick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 1: Convert image to grayscale<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You can convert your image to grayscale while staying in the RGB color mode by typing CTRL + SHIFT U (COMMAND + SHIFT + U). This makes your image black and white, but, like desaturating your image, does not give you much control over your contrast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the black and white image below, you can see from the Layers panel that the color mode of the image is still RGB, even though the adjusted layer is black and white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/photoshop-grayscale-stamped-layer.jpg\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Black-and-white image of woman holding flower, with Photoshop layers panel showing a stamped layer\">\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 2: Convert color mode to Lab mode<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This next method is a very quick way to make skin look brighter in black and white images. Choose Image &gt; Mode &gt; Lab Color from the dropdown menu at the top of the application window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/photoshop-lab-color-mode-selection.jpg\" class=\"Sirv\" alt='Photoshop interface showing \"Image\" menu with \"Lab Color\" mode highlighted for color mode conversion'>\n\n\n\n<p>When prompted, merge layers together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, bring up the Layers panel by typing F7 (FN + F7 on a Mac). The Channels and Paths panels are connected to the Layers panel by default, but if Channels does not appear, you can also bring it up by going to Window &gt; Channels from the dropdown menu at the top of the application window.<br><br>In the Channels Panel, select the <em><strong>a<\/strong><\/em> and <em><strong>b<\/strong><\/em> channels. Right-click (CTRL + Click) and choose Delete Layers. Flatten layers when prompted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/photoshop-lab-mode-delete-a-b-channels.jpg\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Photoshop Channels panel with a and b channels selected and highlighted for deletion in Lab color mode.\">\n\n\n\n<p>Now, you can choose Image &gt; Mode &gt; Grayscale to put the image in Grayscale mode. The final image will look more luminescent than using desaturation alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/grayscale-image-enhanced-luminescence.jpg\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Black and white image of a woman holding a flower in grayscale mode for improved luminescence effect.\">\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 3: Use Black + White keyboard shortcut<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You can bring up the Black and White dialog box by typing CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + B (OPTION + COMMAND + SHIFT + B). The dialog box that appears gives you control over which colors in the original image you wish to darken and lighten. Make sure you have \u201cPreview\u201d checked to see the image as you adjust the sliders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re unsure how best to adjust the sliders, click the Auto button to have Photoshop do the work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/custom-black-and-white-adjustment.jpg\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Black and white adjustment dialog with custom sliders to modify grayscale toning of a woman's portrait holding a flower.\">\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. How to add text to a photo using keyboard shortcuts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To quickly add text to your photo, type T to bring up the Text Tool. Then, click anywhere on your image to start using the tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A small bit of filler text will appear in your foreground color, and a small Contextual Task Bar will appear underneath to quickly give you access to adjusting your font, alignment, and text color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also adjust your text with more options using the Options Bar at the top of the application window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/photoshop-add-text-tool-options.jpg\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Photoshop text tool options bar displaying font, size, color, and alignment settings with text added to an image of a woman holding a flower\">\n\n\n\n<p>In the Layers Panel, you will see a new Text layer has been generated as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you click off of your type, you can select it again by grabbing the Type Tool and clicking on your text. Then, type CTRL + A (COMMAND + A on a Mac) to select all of your text. If you click on your image but not on your existing text, you will create a new Text layer; you can simply go into your Layers panel and delete it if you do this accidentally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photoshop is an evolving organism\u2013as the years have gone by, new options have been added while old panels stay the same. As a result, there are myriad ways to adjust your type. There is no right or wrong way to adjust type in Photoshop 2024\u2013it all depends on what works best for your workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some ways you can modify your type once it&#8217;s selected:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use the dropdown menus in the Options Bar to adjust your type.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use the Properties Panel (accessed by Window &gt; Properties).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use the Character Panel (Window &gt; Character) and the Paragraphs Panel (Window &gt; Properties) to adjust your type.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use the Contextual Task Bar that appears right under your text (new to Photoshop 2024), or click on the three little dots to quickly bring up the Properties Panel and make more adjustments there.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. How to use a shortcut for Generative Fill<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Generative AI is a hot topic right now, and Photoshop 2024\u2019s AI capabilities are state-of-the-art. In order to take advantage of this new feature, make a selection around the area of your photograph that you wish to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Note<\/strong>: All generative <a href=\"\/blogs\/tips\/can-robots-edit-photos-better-than-humans\">AI struggles<\/a> with correctly creating human hands, so you\u2019ll have best results if you avoid selecting any hands in your image.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right click (CTRL + click) to bring up an options menu, and choose Generative Fill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/photoshop-generative-fill-shortcut.jpg\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Photoshop context menu highlighting Generative Fill option on selected area of a woman holding a flower.\">\n\n\n\n<p>A dialog box will appear, giving you the option to type in what you would like to replace the selection with. If you want to remove the object you selected entirely from your photo, leave this box blank and click Generate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to replace your selection with an AI-generated image, type what you would like that image to be. In this example, I\u2019ve typed \u201cblue flower.\u201d Then, click Generate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/photoshop-generative-fill-blue-flower.jpg\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Photoshop Generative Fill prompt with \u201cblue flower\u201d typed in, to change the color of a selected flower held by a woman\">\n\n\n\n<p>Photoshop will attempt to create what you\u2019ve asked for based on its own AI database and the pixels surrounding your selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once a new portion of your image has been generated, you will see up to three variations you can choose within your Properties panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/photoshop-generative-fill-blue-flower-variations.jpg\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Photoshop interface showing three Generative Fill variations of a flower turned blue, with a selected variation applied to the image\">\n\n\n\n<p>Choose the variation you like best by clicking on it, or click Generate again within the Properties panel to create three more variations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your image will now have a Generative layer named the same as your prompt that rests on top of your other layers. If you want to go back at any time to change the variation you chose, click on that Generative layer and change your selection in the Properties panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/photoshop-generative-fill-layer-blue-flower.jpg\" class=\"Sirv\" alt='Photoshop interface showing a \"blue flower\" Generative Fill layer applied to an image of a woman holding a blue flower'>\n\n\n\n<p>You can delete unused variations by hovering over the variation and clicking the Trash icon.

Therefore, before you can use the stroke path Photoshop shortcut shown in the Paths panel above, you need to set up your Brush tool presets to the size and color you want. Because the path stroke will appear in your selected layer, it\u2019s always a good idea to create a new layer and select it before applying the stroke path shortcut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"insert-cta light\">\n        <div class=\"grid\">\n            <div class=\"grid__item\">\n                Get pixel perfect clipping paths, done for you from 39\u00a2 per image            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"grid__item action\">\n                <div class=\"btn-arrow btn-arrow-purple\">\n                    <a class=\"btn-path btn-path-blue\" href=\"https:\/\/pathedits.com\/pages\/clipping-path\">LEARN MORE<\/a>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. How to use a shortcut for clipping mask<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On the surface, clipping paths and clipping masks appear to have a lot in common. However, there are subtle differences that become apparent when you use a clipping mask short cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common shortcut you can use to make a clipping mask is the small <strong>Add<\/strong> <strong>Layer<\/strong> <strong>Mask<\/strong> icon located at the bottom of the <strong>Layers<\/strong> panel and the <strong>Paths<\/strong> panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/photoshop-layers-panel-add-layer-mask.png\" class=\"Sirv\" alt='Photoshop Layers panel with red circle highlighting the \"Add Layer Mask\" icon at the bottom for quick masking'>\n\n\n\n<p>To quickly and effectively create a layer mask, first select the area of your layer you want to remain visible after applying the mask. Then click the <strong>Add<\/strong> <strong>Layer<\/strong> <strong>Mask<\/strong> icon within either the <strong>Layers<\/strong> panel or the <strong>Paths<\/strong> panel. You\u2019ll instantly have the other parts of your layer \u201cmasked\u201d out, leaving only your selection visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/photoshop-layer-mask-airpods-isolated-background.jpg\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"AirPods with transparent background shown in Photoshop Layers panel, with layer mask icon highlighted\">\n\n\n\n<p>Another shortcut for clipping masks works with adjustment layers. For instance, the image below has two layers and an adjustment layer on top. The layer closest to the adjustment layer is transparent for most of the layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/color-balance-layer-airpods-gradient-background.jpg\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"AirPods on a gradient background with Photoshop Layers panel showing Color Balance adjustment layer applied\">\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to apply the adjustment layer only to the non-transparent areas of the top layer (in this example, apply the Color Balance to just the earbuds and not to the background), select the <strong>Adjustment<\/strong> <strong>Layer<\/strong> and type <strong>ALT<\/strong> + <strong>CTRL<\/strong> + <strong>G<\/strong> (<strong>OPTION<\/strong> + <strong>COMMAND<\/strong> + <strong>G<\/strong> on a Mac).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/clipping-mask-adjustment-layer-airpods-gradient.jpg\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"AirPods on a gradient background with Layers panel showing clipping mask applied to Color Balance adjustment layer\">\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"insert-cta light\">\n        <div class=\"grid\">\n            <div class=\"grid__item\">\n                How Long Does it Take to Edit Product Photos?            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"grid__item action\">\n                <div class=\"btn-arrow btn-arrow-purple\">\n                    <a class=\"btn-path btn-path-blue\" href=\"https:\/\/pathedits.com\/blogs\/tips\/how-long-does-it-take-to-edit-product-photos\">LEARN MORE<\/a>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

When you\u2019re happy with the way the selection looks, click OK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/photoshop-object-selection-refine-edge-sneaker.jpg\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Close-up in Photoshop showing the Refine Edge properties for selecting a sneaker, with transparency settings and object-aware refinement options\">\n\n\n\n<p>Now, with your subject selected, type CTRL + C (COMMAND + C) and then SHIFT + CTRL + V (SHIFT + COMMAND + V) three times to create three new identical layers containing just your subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/photoshop-multiple-layers-runner-selection.jpg\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Photoshop interface showing a runner on a track with multiple transparent layers and the background layer in the Layers panel\">\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accessing your selection again quickly<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If at any time you need to re-select your subject, you can do so by clicking on any of the new layers and choosing Select &gt; Load Selection from the menu at the top of the application window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/photoshop-load-selection-tool-multi-layer.jpg\" class=\"Sirv\" alt='Photoshop interface showing the \"Load Selection\" option in the \"Select\" menu and multiple layers in the Layers panel for editing a runner image'>\n\n\n\n<p>Once in the Load Selection dialog box, choose the Transparency for the layer you\u2019re working in next to the Channel options and click OK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/photoshop-load-selection-layer-transparency.jpg\" class=\"Sirv\" alt='Load Selection dialog box in Photoshop showing options to select document, channel, and operation, with \"Layer 3 Transparency\" selected'>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Use Camera Raw Filters to quickly enhance sports photo subject<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Camera Raw Filters are a quick and effective way to get spectacular sports photographs. With your top layer selected, click SHIFT + CTRL + A (SHIFT + COMMAND + A) to bring up the Camera Raw Filters window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the filters window you have many options for enhancing the photo. Some of the most useful options here are the Auto Exposure and Auto Contrast sliders (under Light) and the Texture slider under Effects. Feel free to explore other options within the menu on the right-hand side of the window. When you\u2019re satisfied with how your image looks, click OK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/adjust-exposure-contrast-texture-camera-raw.jpg\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Adobe Camera Raw settings for isolated runner image on transparent background, with adjustments to exposure, contrast, and texture\">\n\n\n\n<p>Within your Layers panel, you can choose to adjust the opacity or blending mode of your top layer to blend your changes with the original image. In the example below, we changed the Blending Mode of the layer we just adjusted to \u201cOverlay\u201d and set the opacity to 70%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/layer-overlay-opacity-photoshop-runner.jpg\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Photoshop layers panel showing overlay blending mode at 70% opacity applied to a runner image on a track\">\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Using the Glowing Edges Filter to enhance sports photo details.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of&nbsp;the&nbsp;best ways to add additional texture to a sports photo is to use the Glowing Edges Filter in Photoshop 2024. To access this filter, select the next to top layer (which should be of your unedited isolated subject). Choose Filter Gallery from the Filters menu at the top of the application window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/photoshop-filter-gallery-menu.png\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Photoshop 2024 interface with Filter Gallery option highlighted in the Filter menu dropdown\">\n\n\n\n<p>Within the Filter Gallery window that appears, choose Glowing Edges from the Stylize menu. Adjust the sliders on the right until your image has the level of detail you want (keep in mind the image will be in negative).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/photoshop-glowing-edges-filter-application.jpg\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Photoshop 2024 interface showing the Glowing Edges filter with edge width, brightness, and smoothness settings applied to an athlete's image\">\n\n\n\n<p>Click OK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in your document, still with the same layer selected, click CTRL + I (COMMAND + I) to invert the image in the layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/sprint-runner-sketch-overlay-inverted.jpg\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Athlete sprinting on track with an inverted sketch effect overlay applied, highlighting the runner's form and movement\">\n\n\n\n<p>Drag this layer to the top of your layers in your Layers Panel, set the Blending Mode to Overlay, and adjust the opacity until you get the effects you desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/runner-overlay-blending-mode-opacity.jpg\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Close-up of runner in Photoshop with overlay blending mode set to 30% opacity in the Layers panel\">\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Using Generative Fill to get a clean background<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a lot easier to add effects to your background if you <a href=\"\/pages\/background-removal\">remove the subject entirely from the background<\/a>. Thanks to Photoshop 2024\u2019s new Generative Fill <a href=\"\/blogs\/tips\/beginners-guide-photoshop-tools\">tool<\/a>, you can remove the subject from the background very quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To begin, click the Eye icon next to all three layers that contain your sports photo subject, and duplicate the Background layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the new Background copy layer, draw a selection around your subject using the Lasso Tool or the Polygonal Lasso Tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have a loose selection around your subject, click Generative Fill from the Contextual Task menu that appears under your selection, or right-click (CTRL + Click) to bring up a menu where you can select Generative Fill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/photoshop-generative-fill-runner-selection.jpg\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Athlete image in Photoshop with selection outline and Generative Fill tool options, showing duplicate background layer\">\n\n\n\n<p>In the dialog box that appears, leave the prompt blank where it says \u201cWhat would you like to generate? (Optional)\u201d and just click Generate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/adobe-photoshop-generative-fill-tool.png\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop interface showcasing the Generative Fill tool used for precise image editing and cutouts.\">\n\n\n\n<p>Photoshop 2024 will attempt to fill in the space of your selection using cues from the background that is visible. Once it&#8217;s done generating a new fill, you will see three variations you can choose from within the Properties panel. Simply click on any of these options, or click Generate again to get three more variations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/adobe-photoshop-generative-fill-background-editing.jpg\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop Generative Fill tool applied for background editing, showing layer options and properties panel.\">\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019re satisfied with one of the generative fill options, select the new Generative Fill layer and the Background copy layer in the Layers Panel. Then, type CTRL + E (COMMAND + E) to merge those layers together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Add Effects to your sports photo background<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Add Motion Blur<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>One really great effect you can add to a sports photo is a motion blur. This effect makes it look like your subject is moving at incredible speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure all your layers are visible so that you can see the contrast of the background against your subject. Then, select your Layer in your Layers panel that has the background without the subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, choose Filter &gt; Blur &gt; Motion Blur\u2026 from the menu at the top of the application window. In the dialog box that appears, set your motion\u2019s angle to 0 degrees and adjust your distance to your liking (the higher the distance, the greater the blur).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/photoshop-generative-fill-motion-blur-editing.jpg\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop interface showing Generative Fill and Motion Blur applied to an athlete running on track.\">\n\n\n\n<p>Click OK when you decide you like the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Add Radial Blur<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Radial Blur can create a stunning effect for your Sports photo. You can add a Radial Blur on top of a Motion Blur or use it on its own. In this example, we removed the Motion Blur before creating a Radial Blur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To create a Radial Blur, select your Layer in your Layers panel that has the background without the subject. Then, choose Filter &gt; Blur &gt; Radial Blur\u2026 from the menu at the top of the application window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Radial Blur\u2026 dialog box that appears, you do not have the option to preview your image before applying the effect. The image below gives you an idea of what to expect from the Spin option vs. the Zoom option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/photoshop-radial-blur-tool-athlete-image.png\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Comparison of radial blur settings in Adobe Photoshop applied to an athlete running, showing spin and zoom effects.\">\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Add vignette<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding a vignette should be the last thing you do to your image, and for best effects, apply it only to the background portion of your image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest way to add a vignette to your image is to select the layer you will apply it to, then click CTRL + SHIFT + A (COMMAND + SHIFT + A) to quickly access your Camera Raw Filters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once in the Camera Raw Filters window, choose Vignette under Effects and move the slider to the left to create a dark vignette around the edges of your image. You can also move the Grain slider to the right to add a little extra punch to your image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/photoshop-camera-raw-vignette-grain-settings.jpg\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw editor showing vignette and grain adjustments on a blurred sports track background.\">\n\n\n\n<p>Click OK when you\u2019re satisfied with how the image looks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using just a few simple shortcuts, your final sports photo will now look much more exciting than the original image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/clipping-path-photoshop-shortcuts-editing-ecommerce-photos\/photoshop-motion-blur-effect-athlete-running.jpg\" class=\"Sirv\" alt=\"Before and after comparison of an athlete running, with motion blur effect applied to create dynamic movement.\">\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Photoshop_shortcuts_FAQs\">Photoshop shortcuts FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the shortcut key for?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A shortcut key is for completing frequent actions more quickly with a keyboard command.
