There are buttons and menus in Photoshop I don't notice, or if I do notice one, I'm like. sorry button or menu item but I've got my own problems. With the exception of the one that looks like a lock, I've not looked at the ones you explained in this video. That moving layer issue happened to me again this morning, shortly before you posted this. I plan on using these buttons. Thank you!
On another Photoshop note, you've pointed out how annoying it is when a layer mask is selected by default instead of the layer image. I also find it annoying. Infuriating is more like it. Another thing I'd love to know is if there is a reason Photoshop General Brushes have a default setting of 25% or anything above 1% for that matter? I've carefully painted, shift-clicking around the outside of items only to realize I had to go over the item again because the brush is set to 25% spacing and leaves miniature MT Fujis along the outline. I try to remember but just like with the layer selection defaulting to the mask, I don't.

Please accept my sincere gratitude for this remarkably invaluable video! Im embarrassed to say that despite my professional use of Photoshop for decades, I was only ever aware of the lock feature in the first option on the left - and simply ignored the others. Sometimes we become so absorbed with addressing a task, meeting deadlines, or solving problems that we fail to find the time to explore. Which is why your wonderful videos are so vital - even for seasoned veterans. Many thanks my friend. I wish you continued success.
PS - your positive affirmations at the start of your videos are what we need more of in this life.

OMG these locks were there all along? To me it seems like they were invisible until i watched this video.
It's just among those things that we have to learn to not see while working in PS just because there are soooo many options and if you focus on everything PS will never come easy to you.
Thanks for teaching us this option.

Great video as always! Another feature that is sort of related to locking layers are LINKING layers that I also find very useful occasionally. It used to be visible as an icon next to the layers but are now only accessible through right-click-drop-down-menu when you select more than one layer.

Transparency lock can be used when you want to remove halos, you can lock the image and with the clone stamp tool refine the borders. also if you have an image with a frame, you can lock the transparency and paint the borders, etc, etc.

thanks for the vid but sorry, apart from locking layer transparency all locking is annoying just because of that dialog window that pops. by the way I zoom in via cmd+space and animated zoom and scrubby disabled

I am using Photoshop every day and wondered why have kept these buttons over here. Never realize that each and every button has its own advantage! Thanks for a clear understanding of this trick bro!

If you use the mouse wheel to zoom in like I do, it's much faster & easier than grabbing the space bar and jumping through hoops. Adding Lock to the workflow slows you down even more.

The artboards lock is actually going to be super helpful, since when I copy content from a large artboard to a smaller one, the elements spazz out trying to find an artboard to fit to.

Even when he explains how something is not that important, you learn something in the process.
It is true what've been said in the comments: you're the Photoshop Wizard.

Thanks Umesh, I didn't even know it was possible to zoom in and out with CTRL + SPACE + DRAG I was actually using ALT + Scroll Wheel but it sometimes gets stuck.

Transparency lock also helps with using smudge tool on bordering pixels and also stamp /healing tool. It removes circular artifacts that could appear there!

Great video. I have had the problem of stuff moving and never figured out what I was doing to cause it. Now I know, and know how to avoid it. Thanks!

Great tips, we just create duplicate layers to start and before each process, it is very helpful to have below each working layer

Once again, a humbling reminder that I still only use maybe 25% of the available tools, and understand about 30% of them.
