Don’t Change Your Camera’s Color Space For RAW

 

If you’re shooting only in RAW (and not RAW+JPEG), then you don’t have to worry about changing the color space in your digital camera to match the edit space in Photoshop. That’s because you’ll actually choose the color profile that will be assigned to the photo right before you process the RAW file—it comes in “untagged.” It’s RAW after all, right? So choose your color profile from the Space pop-up menu in the bottom-left corner of the Camera Raw dialog before you open the image in Photoshop. (Note: If you don’t see the Space menu, turn on the Show Workflow Options checkbox.)

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).
