Scott Kelby and the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP) bring you the biggest collection of Adobe Creative Suite CS6 keyboard shortcuts ever in the Shortcut Sumo app. Scott Kelby, along with NAPP’s Photoshop Guys—Matt Kloskowski, Rafael Concepcion, Corey Barker, and Pete Collins—give you more than 1,500 keyboard shortcuts covering Photoshop®, Lightroom®, Adobe® Camera Raw, Illustrator®, and InDesign®, with one goal in mind—to help you work faster and easier.
Get the first installment, Camera Raw Keyboard Shortcuts, free when you download the app. Subsequent program applications can be purchased separately – so you can download keyboard shortcuts for the programs you use the most.
You’ll find an intro video explaining which keyboard shortcuts are essential to becoming an absolute speed demon in each program.
And, each keyboard shortcut page provides a brief description of the shortcut and visually displays the shortcut keys on a highlighted keyboard, so you’ll know which keys to press for both Mac and PC users.
IMPORTANT NOTE ON SEARCH FUNCTION:
Due to the size of some of the shortcut collections, it may take some time for the search function to load.
The search function will also bring up both Mac and PC versions so you will always see two identical-looking results. If the first result you click on takes you to the wrong version, simply go back and click on the other one.

Q: Hey! I went back to my library but all my collections are gone except one. What happened?
A: Chances are you did a search on the “library” page. Clear thee search box there. If the search box is clear and you are still missing collections, you need to sync your account to the Sumo app. To do that, click the button at the top, left on the home screen (it looks like a group of people). From there, you can enter the email attached to your iTunes App Store and password. After you’ve synched your account, click the “restore” button. The app will “ping” your account and make sure all your Sumo purchases are linked to your app. NOTE: You may have to sync and restore more than once (ie: pop-up notifications from iTunes and/or other apps can disrupt the sync process) in order to restore all your purchases.

Q: How can I delete shortcut collections to free up storage space on my iPad?
A: Yes. Tap on the collection you’d like to delete and click, “Delete.”

Q: Will I lose the collections I’ve purchased if I delete them from my iPad? Will I lose my bookmarks?
A: No. You can still see every Shortcut Sumo collection (purchased and unpurchased) in the “library” portion of your app and can re-download any one you’ve already purchased at any time but you need to sync your account. To do that, click the button at the top, left on the home screen (it looks like a group of people). From there, you can enter the email attached to your iTunes App Store and password. After you’ve synched your account, click the “restore” button. The app will “ping” your account and make sure all your Sumo purchases are linked to your app. NOTE: You may have to sync and restore more than once (ie: pop-up notifications from iTunes and/or other apps can disrupt the sync process) in order to restore all your purchases.
Our app testing shows that you won’t lose your bookmarks.
