    Hi Corey, I found this site though Scott Kelby blog today. I was watching a older video of photoshop user tv lastnight where you were doing a tut on the warping tool. You were adding a lable to a bottle of wine. I am new to photoshop and I was wondering if you could do a couple more of those tut here on your site when you can find the time? I do realize you guys are very busy. Thanks for this site. It looks really nice.

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).
