*Adobe Bridge CS4 and Adobe Camera Raw 5 Tip*
In Photoshop, when you want to reduce a blemish, a popular technique is to use the Healing Brush tool to completely remove the blemish, then go under the Edit menu, choose Fade Healing Brush, and then lower the Opacity in the dialog, so a little hint of the blemish comes back. You can now do the same thing in Camera Raw when using the Spot Removal tool ( B ). But it’s even easier in Camera Raw because there’s now an Opacity slider that appears in the Spot Removal panel.

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).
