New CS4 Courses at Kelby Training

 

Ever since the announcement of Photoshop CS4, we here at the NAPP have working diligently to put together some the best courses for this new version and some of them are available now. The Photoshop CS4 Power Session by Matt Kloskowski was made available just recently and it covers all the new features in CS4. Everything you need to get up-to-speed quickly. Next we have Creative Suite 4 Integration by Dave Cross. This course not only covers Photoshop, but also how it integrates smoothly with Illustrator and InDesign CS4. Get a peek into these new apps right here in this course. Other courses that are on the way include Design Effects with Photoshop by Corey Barker (me) and Photoshop & Dreamweaver CS4 Integration by RC. True, these apps are not out yet, but here’s your chance to get to know the software before any of your friends. If you are not subscribed to Kelby Online Training, click here. NAPP members also get a discount. 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).
