Assigning a shortcut to Refine Edge
- [Instructor] Now the next step is to refine the fur around the hood mask. And I intend to do that, once again, using refine edge as opposed to select and mask, which got me thinking what a pain in the neck it is to always have to press the shift key when you choose to select a mask command in order to bring up the refine edge dialogue box. Not only is it awkward, it doesn't really make any sense. And so I started wondering if there might be a way to assign refine edge its own unique shortcut, and I discovered a way. And so if this kind of thing interests you, then go up to the edit menu and choose the keyboard shortcuts command, which itself has a shortcut of control shift alt K, or command shift option K on a Mac. Now, as you can see, my set is currently set to dekeKeys for Photoshop CC, as I documented back in the introduction to this course. Alright, now you wanna make sure that shortcuts for is set to application menus. Then drop down a few menus here to select and click it…
