Brushy Blend Modes

 

Want to cycle through the Brush tool’s blend modes without having to click in the Options Bar? You must have the Brush tool selected, so press the B key, and then hold down the Shift key and press + or – to move up or down the list, respectively. Also while you’re painting, you can navigate through your Brush panel by using the Arrow keys on your keyboard.

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).
