    If you hold down ctrl-shift and click on something (not drag) you will go to the layer where that is. This is very helpful for people that use a lot of layers and don't name them

      Yep it's in the video! It's going to be my new favourite shortcut haha.

      I didn't notice that by draging it it also went to that layer. And yah it's really good ^.^

    You can press ctrl+alt and then drag, which lets you set the exact brush size.

  • @TigerMC
    @TigerMC 5 лет назад +8

    Here's a little trick i often use: When you are transforming something hold down Alt and it only rotates, Control and it only activates the Free Deform and of course as you said Shift for locking the Scale. Hope this helps a little c:

    don't know it has been said. But for those who want a layer very precisely, you can hold ctrl and the left, right, up or down key. It will move your drawing inch by inchi. It is VERY useful if you want to use paint tool sai to do animation for example.
