Change Adjustment Mask Colors

 

*Adobe Bridge CS4 and Adobe Camera Raw 5 Tip*

When the color of your subject in a photograph is similar to the color of the mask (the default color is red), it’s difficult to see the mask.  To change the color of the mask, press Shift-O to cycle through red, green, white, and black masks.

    I can not seem to get this to work. Shift Zero or Shift (letter O)?

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).
