Bring Back Missing Features

 

Many features that were found in Photoshop CS3 are missing in CS4 (Extract, Web Photo Gallery, Contact Sheet II, etc.). Just find those files in the Photoshop CS3 folder, then you can copy them to the equivalent folder in CS4 to regain their functionality.

    The one I’m looking for is the “PDF Presentation” and it doesn’t seem to be in the PS CS3 app folder, nor in the “Application Support” in the Mac’s Library…

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    I purchased CS4 recently and go rid of CS2 (which I had been working on for a long time). Today I realized that Contact Sheet and Picture Package do not exist on in this version! I feel like a fool for having upgraded. How might I gain that feature again? Help!

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).
