Deleting a Layer

 

Instead of dragging a layer to the Trash icon to delete it, you can quickly delete a layer by pressing the Delete ( PC: Backspace ) key in Photoshop CS4.  In CS3, using that key will only work if you have the Move tool (V) selected first, so you could quickly press V and then the Delete ( PC: Backspace ) key.  Hey, it’s still faster then dragging.

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).
