Interesting Blog…

 

Yes, I am blogging about a blog, but it’s a cool one. I came across this blog purely by accident last week while I was cyber-loafing. It’s a blog that is all about movie posters. It’s called PosterWire.com and it’s a really interesting site that talks about the various aspects of movie poster design — the artists, the filmmakers. They even have awards for different genres of film. The posts are few and far between but it’s still interesting stuff nonetheless. There are even some entries that talk about how Photoshop has become the choice tool for most, if not all, movie marketing. I, for one, bookmarked this site and will visit it often. Check it out.

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).
