Photoshop curves advice needed.

Having done a google search and read numerous articles and tutorials on the use of Photoshop's curves, I still can't find the answer to what I'm looking for, so here goes.


Once I've added control points on a curve, is it possible for me to select one of them or move from one to the other with a keyboard shortcut?

Everytime I use a click of the mouse to select one it often moves it slightly, hence the search for an alternative method.

Thanks,

In Windows, Ctrl+Tab will do what you want. Even better, once selected you can nudge the control point with the arrow keys.

David,

I had the same question, as well. Thanks. And yes, using the arrow keys to nudge the points on the curve is very handy for making adjustments in small increments.

David,

That's great,exactly what I was looking for. I knew there had to be a way without using the mouse :smile:
I actually already use the arrow keys, which I find invaluable.

Thanks a lot for your help,much appreciated.
