    Just found a competition to win an apple iPad at http://www.ipadbuy.org/win_ipad_laptop_tablet so i thought i’d share it.

    The survey only took 30 seconds, its worth a go at least :)

    Hello man!

    It is my first time here. I just wanted to say hi!

    I want much more people might write weblogs similar to this that can be enjoyable you just read. With all the nonsense floating round over the internet, it is extraordinary you just read a blog such as this instead

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).
