I downloaded a CS2 Keyboard Shortcuts chart that someone on the forum here posted (sorry…forgotten who). I’ve tried using some of them, but I can’t seem to get them to work on my WinXP machine.

For example…I’d like to flatten the image using keystrokes, and according to my handy-dandy chart, the keyboard combination is:
CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+H

I’d also like to bring up the SmartSharpen filter and its keystroke combination is: CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+W

When I try to use these and other combinations in Photoshop, nothing happens. If anyone could give me an idea on what I need to do to get these to work, I’d be most appreciative.

Thanks,

-Dean

Dean,

Those keys are in *bold*, and as the legend on the chart indicates, those are custom keys. You’ll need to download the custom key assignments from the following page to "activate" the additional (bolded) keys:

Alternatively, here is the direct link to the download:

Note that the ZIP contains several files, but each is accompanied by a readme file that explains its purpose and provided installation instructions.

Ahhh..thanks so much, Trevor. I do remember downloading the chart from your excellent site, but didn’t have the URL. I’d noticed the keyboard shortcuts I’d asked about were marked with a "C" for custom, but couldn’t figure exactly how they were to be implemented.

Quite a time saver here that you’ve provided us. It is quite appreciated.
