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).

big fan of the tutorials here, first time poster…
I followed this one and made another one myself without problems, now
I am trying it again and I cant choose the “Define brush” option anymore.
any help? cheers.

I need to experiment with the brush panel more!
Celeste said on — October 23, 2008 @ 12:39 pm
Very KOOL….love the brush tool options
Mark R said on — October 23, 2008 @ 7:38 pm
very nice, I make brushes for just about everything I do.
I was wondering if you had a tutorial on how to extract hair from a multi-color background? All the tutorial I see,extract hair from white or single color background, which is quite easy.
Brett said on — October 24, 2008 @ 12:01 am
I think the problem to define a brush is due to the resolution. I doesn’t work if its 151 pixels/inch or more. So 150 should work. I don’t know why I would my resolution up hehe.
That was my problem.
this is a great tutorial. Thanks =D keep it up =D
