    great stuff Corey, always look forward in watching these tutorials which always spark off great ideas. i love the gradual introduction to the 3d features and hope in time you will cover the more advanced features.

    Btw is there a possibility in the future to make these tutorials watchable on the iPad :) .?

    Thanks again Corey for anothher cool tutorial.
    the 3D takes a bit of getting used to, But if you keep playing around
    with it then it does become easier.
    Cheers

    I know that you probably never look here and certainly have more important things to do.. I need to ask..
    I got a copy of Ps CS5 Ex from my cousin for 5 months.. he’s abroad and it’s the ME version..
    So, Where can I get the basic and slightly above experience without having to sell my flesh? Places like NAPP and YAT are no options.. not now at least.. And I don’t know any good online alternatives -that are free-..
    I’d really like you to reply.. given your experience it won’t take you but a moment to get the answer and a minute to post it..

    That’s absolutely true: it takes a lot of getting-used-to with the 3D manipulation tools, but I think it it totally worth it. I master the 3D manipulation tools pretty well, though I do find myself frustrated by them from time to time…

    And that’s really it. Once you master the manipulation tools, you can do pretty much anything with Photoshop’s 3D features, especially with Repoussé, added to CS5. I love Photoshop 3D, and I also love your tutorials, Corey!

    Am I the only one who experiences really annoying video play buffering? If you’d just youtube this, would be awesome, but like this, it’s “play 3 seconds”, “buffer 10 seconds”, etc.

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).
