Congratulations Scott!!

 

Peachpit Press announced that The Digital Photography Book Vol. 1 by Scott Kelby is the best-selling book on digital photography ever, having sold over a quarter-million copies so far. A big congrats to Scott for the tremendous success of this volume. It seems that Volume 2 is well on its way to being a best-seller as well, already surpassing numbers sold in the same time period as Volume 1. I will say this about this book, if you own a digital camera, whether it’s a point-and-shoot or an SLR, you should have this book close by. It’s an invaluable resource. Enough said!!

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).
