Photoshop Actions
Here are my basic Photoshop actions, the ones I keep on every machine I use regularly. Despite what Adobe does to your shortcut keys from one version to the next, you can still save them as actions and load them at will. These range from simple (unsharp mask...) to complex (stairstep sharpening for large reductions.) From the Actions pallette, choose Load Actions... (You may need to disable some system keyboard shortcuts for Application shortcuts to work.)
