    very interesting stuff. Again sparking off some ideas. After watching this I’m wondering if one could use light sources with 3D postcards ie the “PUSH” could cast a slight shadow on the Grunge background.

    ummm the possibilities :) , great stuff Corey

    Some awesome techniques as usual. Had no idea you could set depth of field– really cool. Love all the random tidbits I pick up, like being able to connect brush tool segments.

    Thanks for all the work, keep it coming.

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).
