  A fast way to add space to your canvas is to use the crop tool (C key), select your whole canvas, then make the selection larger by dragging (one of) the corners outside your canvas to make it larger.

  Shortcuts I use a lot:

  • CTRL+SHIFT+N: new layer
  • CTRL+SHIFT+U: desaturate
  • CTRL+SHIFT+I: invert selection
  • CTRL+H: hide/unhide selection
  • CTRL+L: Adjust Levels
  • CTRL+A: select canvas
  • CTRL+D: deselect

  You can press enter to confirm an adjustment in stead of having to push the V button.

  Recording actions can be a time-saving tool, especially when you have to perform the same actions multiple times.

  I also set the History state (Edit->Preferences->General->Performance Tab) way higher than default (usues more memory though), when painting this can come in very handy when you need to go back many brushstrokes in your History.

  My pixel design workflow: first I make my canvas really small (example: 150x150 pixels) so I'm actually painting pixel per pixel. I use Pencil tool in stead of Brush. Set Eraser to Pencil mode as well. Sometimes I start by only drawing in gray-scale (example: black, dark gray, light gray, white) to get the lighting right. After that I use CTRL+u (Hue/saturation) and I click on colorize, then adjust the sliders to give it a color. When I'm done with my design, I go to image size (CTRL+ALT+i) then change the size (example: 150*20=3000) and make sure the resample Image is set to Nearest Neigbour, that way it scales without blurring, thus keeping the pixels crisp and straight.
