If you regularly shoot multiple exposures for merging into a single high-dynamicrange (HDR) file, try this when viewing a folder full of bracketed exposures: In Bridge, choose Tools>Photoshop>Process Collections in Photoshop. This will cause Bridge to analyze the metadata for all the images and if it finds that the images were shot as a rapid sequence with only the exposure changed between shots, it will send each set of images through the Merge to HDR feature and save the resulting 32-bit HDR image in Radiance format. That way you can have Bridge merge your images while you sleep and you can tone-map the images using Photoshop or Photomatix at a later date.

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).
