Spanish accents in Photoshop are easily added on a Mac.

Spanish accents are the little marks over certain vowels and letters in other languages, such as Spanish. These symbols are something you may not need to use very often, so they might be a little tricky to find on your keyboard when you do. You don't need to switch your entire system to a Spanish keyboard; there are keyboard strokes that will enable you to add accented letters, even in Photoshop. On a Mac, the key functions are a little different than on a PC.
