Cropped Areas Truly Cropped!

 

*Adobe Bridge CS4 and Adobe Camera Raw 5 Tip*

When you grab the Crop tool ( C ) and crop a photo in Camera Raw, you can now see the final cropped image without having to open the image in Photoshop.  Once your cropping border is in place, just change tools (or double-click the Crop tool icon at the top of the window), and you’ll see the cropped version (in previous versions, the cropped-away area was still visible; it was just dimmed).  If you need to adjust the crop, simply switch back to the Crop tool and the cropping border reappears.

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).
