Layers
Manipulating and arranging layers is simple with these great shortcuts!
Fill a layer
MAC: Alt+Backspace (foreground) or Cmd+Backspace (background)
WINDOWS: Alt+Delete (foreground) or Ctrl+Delete (background)
This command will fill an empty later with the current foreground or background colour.
Flatten layers
MAC: Cmd+Alt+Shift+E
WINDOWS: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E
Add a new, empty layer to the top of your stack, select it
and use the above command to flatten the layers in an image to sharpen
the result. This adds a flattened version of the image to the new layer
but leaves the layers intact too.
Merge visible Layers
MAC: Cmd+Shift+E

This command will allow you merge all your existing layers
in order to create one new layer. Beware! Once merged, they are
extremely difficult to seperate.

MAC: Cmd+J
WINDOWS: Ctrl+J
Use this command to create a new layer from an existing one. Sound complicated? Give it a go!
New layer via cut
MAC: Cmd+Shift+J
WINDOWS: Ctrl+Shift+J
Like creating a new layer via copy, this command will create
a new layer with the selected image area in it, the only difference via
cut is that it will remove the selected image portion from the original
image.

WINDOWS: Ctrl+Shift+]
Here, you can move your preferred layer to the top of the stack of images you're working with in Photoshop.

This will allow you to bring any selected image to the front.
Send layer back

Copy multiple layers
MAC: Shift+Cmd+C
WINDOWS: Shift+Ctrl+C

This is a great command for any of you that accidentally
click away from a section. Pressing these buttons will have that section
reselected in no time.

Find the sizing handles
MAC: Cmd+T, Cmd+0

object from the background much easier than with other tools. And using
this shortcut makes it even simpler.
Select a colour from an image
MAC: Opt+Brush Tool
