Deleting Unwanted Photos Fast

 

Let’s say you’ve opened the photos from your latest shoot (after you’ve backed them up to CD, of course), and you realize there’s only five or six photos that you really want to keep, and you want to delete the rest. Use this tip to make quick work of getting rid the hundreds you don’t want—just Command-click (PC: Control-click) on the five or six you want to keep, then go under the Edit menu and choose Invert Selection. This command selects every photo but those five or six you selected. Now you can just press Command-Delete (PC: Control-Delete) to delete all the ones you don’t want. Big time saver.

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).
