Your AI art came out great, but the blue is just a little too purple. Or maybe you want to offer the same wall art print in five different colorways. The Shortcut: Ctrl/Cmd + U (Hue/Saturation) Select the layer with your artwork and press Ctrl/Cmd + U. This brings up the Hue/Saturation panel. - Hue: Drags all the colors around the color wheel. A game-changer for creating color variations. - Saturation: Makes colors more vibrant or more muted (grayscale). - Lightness: Makes the image brighter or darker. This is my go-to for creating entire color-coordinated collections from a single design!

This is for my sublimation and digital product sellers. Imagine you need to add a watermark, resize to a specific dimension, and save as a PNG for 50 different clipart files. Doing that manually would take forever. Let's build a simple Action to do it for you. 1. Open one of your images. 2. Go to Window > Actions to open the Actions panel. 3. Click the folder icon at the bottom to create a "New Set" (e.g., "My Etsy Workflow"). 4. Click the square icon ("Create New Action"). Name it (e.g., "Resize & Save PNG"). Click "Record." 5. Now, every click you make is being recorded. Go through your steps: Image > Image Size... > File > Save As... > PNG. 6. When you're done, click the Stop button (the square) in the Actions panel. Now, you can open another image, select your action, and press the Play button. Photoshop will do the entire sequence for you instantly. This is the foundation of batch processing! What's one process you could turn into an Action right now?

Stop copying and pasting your art into mockup frames! There's a much better, non-destructive way: Smart Objects. When you buy a good mockup, the template is often set up with a Smart Object layer. It usually says "Place Your Design Here." 1. Double-click the thumbnail of that Smart Object layer. It will open in a new tab (.psb file). 2. Place your artwork into this new tab. Resize it to fit perfectly. 3. Save this .psb file (Ctrl/Cmd + S). 4. Close the tab and go back to your mockup file. 5. Boom. Your art is now perfectly placed inside the frame, with all the angles, shadows, and textures of the mockup automatically applied. Need to swap the art? Just repeat the process. This is THE professional workflow for mockups. Are you using Smart Objects yet?

Hey everyone! Let's kick things off with a foundational time-saver. Ever create a beautiful piece of art and then need to offer it in 5 different aspect ratios (2:3, 3:4, 4:5, etc.)? Doing this manually is a pain. Enter the Crop Tool Presets. Instead of typing in the dimensions every time, you can save them. 1. Select the Crop Tool (C). 2. In the top bar, where it says "Ratio," click the dropdown and choose "W x H x Resolution." 3. Type in your dimensions (e.g., 4 in x 5 in) and a resolution (300 ppi). 4. Click the dropdown again and choose "New Crop Preset." Give it a name like "4:5 Ratio." Repeat for all your common ratios. Now you can resize your art to the perfect dimensions with a single click. This is a great manual method, but if you want to skip the setup and go straight to automation... you can grab the FREE Photoshop scripts in the Classroom. They're built to make this process even faster! Your turn: What's one repetitive task in Photoshop you wish was faster?

Ever feel like you're creating for niches that are already completely saturated? That's why I created "The Insider's Edge" Report. It's not just a list of ideas; it's a guide to profitable, low-competition areas that I'm seeing right now. I update it regularly to keep you ahead of the curve. You can find it in the Classroom section above. My challenge to you: Go take a look and comment below with one niche from the report that surprised you! Let's see what ideas it sparks.
