Corey has a cool trick for creating a flare brush and see how one effect can lead to another.
See how you can add some subtle touches to give that green screen studio shot the Hollywood treatment.
Corey shows how to create reflective holiday ornaments using 3D in Photoshop.
This week Corey has a cool new trick for using 3D reflections in a rather creative way!
If you have a multilayer composition and you
want to apply an effect to all the layers at once, don’t flatten the layers–use a composite layer instead. Hide the layers you want excluded, and press Shift-Command-Option-E (PC: Shift-Ctrl-Alt-E). A new layer will be created at the top containing a merged copy of all the visible layers.
Another option is to create a new layer at the top of the stack and make it active. Command-click (PC: Ctrl-click) each layer you want to include to make those layers active, as well. Press Option-Command-E (PC: Alt-Ctrl-E).

hi corey,
I watched your video on creating slideshows using photoshop cs3 but i just can’t seem to make sense of your comment about “holding down the shift key”. Here’s the deal….I have several imagemy files open just like you demonstrated. So my question is how do i get all of the images into the layer section so they all show the way you have them? I’m confused!
Heeellllpppp!!!!

Thank you so much for this! You dont know how many times i have searched youtube, google, forums on how to do what you did in ONE video! You are so awesome! Thank you!
For anyone who i still having problems saving it you need to save it as a gif, go to “File” then “Save for Web and Devices” I made one using cs4 but its the same! THANK YOU AGAIN!

Thanks a bunch Cory. I blew my brains out with another video trying to do exactly this. Your video is clear and simple and just what I needed today.
Thanks again,

I can’t figure out how to do this in CS4. The animation toolbar gives me the pictures in frames instead of the bar thingy
Bev said on — March 9, 2009 @ 8:24 am
Krista, I had the same problem. Did you happen to figure it out?
Danielle said on — June 23, 2009 @ 2:45 pm
Do the photos need to be all the same size? I am trying to use some vertical and some horizontal photos and when they transition to the next you can see the one before it in the background.

David (even though you said this over a year ago),
You would save the file using File|Save for Web & Devices. Then a dialog box will pop up and you choose the settings you want and click save. Save it using .gif
Thats what I do and it works everytime. Hope that helps anyone with the same problem in the future.

I noticed some were asking how to save this. Instead of saving it, why not try exporting it. This will give you different options that may assist with your problem.
Pete said on — March 21, 2011 @ 4:30 pm
For those asking how to save this, go to:
-the File menu
-select “Save for Web & Devices”
All of your save options will be listed in the window.

Thank you very much for this tutorial. For everyone who had problems saving it, use:
Save for web and devices
then press Save at right top courner..
this time it should work!

Easy to follow procedures, works great! The file size came out to be quite big, so I reduced the fps from 30 (1.3Mb) to 5 (300Kb). Also I find that with the black frame at the beginning, the transition as it loops around does not look nice. Hiding it seems to work much better, Just my opinion. Thanks again!
