Editing Type On A Path

 

If you’ve created some type on a path, highlighting that type to edit it (to change the font, color, spelling, etc.) can be kind of tricky. That’s why it’s quicker to go to the Layers palette and double-click directly on the “T” thumbnail icon. This will highlight all the type on this layer, making it easy to type in some new text, or change some of the attributes.

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).
