Don’t Click In That Field!

 

Those tiny little fields up in the Options Bar can really be a pain sometimes, especially if you’re trying to highlight a field, delete the current value, and type in a new one. Instead of doing all that, just click on the field’s name and Photoshop will automatically highlight the entire field for you. That way, you can just type in new values and it will automatically replace the old values. Great thing is, this doesn’t just work in the Options Bar; it works in many of Photoshop’s palettes, including the Character and Paragraph palettes.

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).
