November 30th, 2009

Reapplying a filter Here you are designing a great digital scrapbooking page, and you put an embellishment on your digital scrapbooking page.

You got inspired to use filters when you read the other blog about using Filters (see this blog Quick Tip: Filter Tip 1 – Use a Filter on a photo or in a Digital Scrap Project using Photoshop Elements Or Photoshop )

You take the time to go through all the settings and apply a filter to one of your embellishments and now your scrap page is almost perfect!  (#1)

But to finish the scrap page you want to add one more embellishment (#2)and you want it to have the same filter setting that you applied to the first embellishment.

Picking settings for a filterYou could try to go through and go to the menu and then make all the adjustments hoping you remembered the exact setting you used the first time!

Or you could just use a handy shortcut key that would apply the same filter with all the same setting to your second image!

You be the judge to which one you would use – but this shortcut key is pretty simple, and also a huge time saver!

Let’s say that you’ve applied a filter to your image, and you like it so much that you want to reapply it to the same image, or perhaps another image that you have open (#1). (This shortcut method works on digital scrapbooking supplies or photos!)

Reapplying a filter with a shortcut keyTo use the shortcut keys all you have to do is press Ctrl + F (Mac: Command + F) to reapply the filter with the same exact settings you used before. (#2)

Special note: keep in mind that it always reapplies the last filter you used so if you used another one in between images it’s going to apply that one instead!

When you see how easy this is It will surely become one of your favorite shortcut keys!
