Finding the Panel Tabs Hard to Read? Change the Font Size

 

Sometimes, it’s a bit hard to read the type in the panels. Choose Photoshop>Preferences>General (PC: Edit>Preferences>General) and change the UI Font Size. This will make the type in the panels larger. You will need to restart Photoshop to see the type change.

    Wonderful hint for my 50-yr-old eyes. I don’t seem to find a similar setting in InDesign CS2, but I’ll take what I can get. I use PhotoShop more, anyway.

    Thank you.

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).
