Bridge’s Camera Raw instead of Photoshop’s

 

Camera Raw has powerful tools for applying adjustments and effects to multiple images in a batch-type process. If you were to open Photoshop to do these things, it would be tied up performing these functions. By having Bridge’s Camera Raw processing the images, it frees you up to use Photoshop for other tasks.

Create A Composite Layer

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).
