Cool Illustration Stuff!

 

On this week’s episode of Pixel Perfect my good friend Bert Monroy has a really cool technique for creating an ice cream bar, all from scratch. I certainly have learned a lot from Bert over the years and while most of you may not be illustrators, there is always something in his tutorials you can use for almost anything. If you would like to see Bert’s vast collection of impressive Photoshop paintings, go here. Incidentally, Bert has a new book coming out later this month: Photoshop Studio with Bert Monroy. AHHHH! Too much good stuff! Enjoy!

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).
