photoshop trim steps
New to photoshop.
Is there a way to make an elliptical trim fewer steps? Open the image Convert the background layer to a normal layer0 Select the marquee tool with the right mouse button Change the shape to an ellipse Draw the ellipse Invert the selection with select inverse Delete the inverse selection with the delete key Unselect the selection with select deselect Trim transparent area with image trim ok Save the file with file save Keyboard sequence Control O M draw Control shift I Delete Control D Image trim enter Control S Most of the time I can skip the layer change. A repeat can also skip marquee tool selection steps. I can skip the deselect if I use edit cut instead of the delete key. For repeats it shortens to Draw ellipse Control shift I Control X Image trim enter Can I assign the trim command to a key? |

The simplest way you can do that is to record the above steps as a Photoshop Action. https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/creating-actions.html -- Regards, Savageduck |

Thus: ~~ Open file Select marquee tool make ellipse click refine edges output to new layer w/layer mask [...] ~~ Am I missing something? -- == Later... Ron C -- |

No. The thing to remember when working to a goal with Photoshop (and some of the other higher level editing software) is, there are usually more than one method/technique of reaching that goal, and not everybody uses the same workflow to achieve the same end result. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Unless I am missing something, the refine edge tool in PS has been replaced with "select and mask." Yes, I'm living in the past with CS6 .. however a little Google searching turned up this: ~~ But many Photoshop users remain upset that Refine Edge was taken from them, still convinced that Refine Edge worked better. So, Adobe now admits to a little secret. As it turns out, Refine Edge was never actually removed from Photoshop. Adobe simply removed any obvious way to access it. [...] ~~ I really hate when they move/remove/re-name stuff with each new update. I took a Photoshop class some years back, the instructor normally used CS6 but the school had CS5 .. she was often telling the class procedures in CS6 terms that didn't work in CS5 .. then she'd have to take class time to figure out how to re-map the procedure to CS5. :-( -- == Later...
