    Nice tutorial, but the final product looks a little bit cheap…
    I don’t like Images with only one bold color.

    I absolutely loved the inner shadow trick to create the highlight! That will be a huge time saver for me in the future. Thanks so much!

    As for the red monochromatic style, I think it works perfectly for this type of composition. Cheesey, but that’s the idea here.

    This is one of those tutorials that everyone would like to use. The use of the 3D function makes this piece that much more amazing. I’m going to study this tutorial so I can reuse this in the near future. A+

    Very cool. I’ll give it a try with some variations.

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).
