    The thing that amazes me the most about your tutorials is the techniques you employ, it’s a bit like watching a mystery unfold right in front of your eyes. Top stuff, i haven’t seen a bad tutorial of yours yet Corey Barker :)

    Hey! awsome tutorial, but to make it more realistic at the end you can go to the layer of the smoke and add filter>render>different clouds!

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).
