Brush Away Distractions

 

*Adobe Bridge CS4 and Adobe Camera Raw 5 Tip*

Want to focus the viewer’s eye on a particular area?  Get the Adjustment Brush,  set your Saturation to 0, and then paint over everything in your photo except where you want the viewer to look.  This makes everything grayscale except the area where you don’t paint.

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).
