    Thanks for adding tips. Photoshop is a fantastic program that I love but have still not mastered yet. Would probably take a lifetime. Thanks so much for helping me work on it.

    Love this shortcut…it doesn’t work for folders…but command+option+any arrow does! Just be wary, it nudges all items 1 pixel in the direction of the arrow you press.

    PC: holding alt key and dragging will also duplicate the layer.

    Love the blog, Niki!!
