Imageready Feature Comes To Photoshop

 

One of our favorite little features from Adobe ImageReady has made its way into Photoshop—it’s called Slices From Guides. What it does is slice your image (for the Web) where your guides are positioned. To make use of this handy little number, just make your rulers visible by pressing Command-R (PC: Control-R), drag out guides where you’d like your slices applied, and then press the letter K to use the Slice tool. With the Slice tool selected, look up in the Options Bar and you’ll find a button called Slices From Guides. Click the button and Photoshop will do the rest.

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).
