New Planet Contest Is Live!

 

Alright everyone, the newest Planet Photoshop tutorial contest is now live! You remember how this works. Simply go to the contest page (link above) or click here. View the pre-selected tutorials and use any one or combination of the techniques to create a design that is uniquely your own. That’s it. Beyond that, you can be as creative as you like. When finished go to the contest page and click the submit link then follow the instructions. We have a monster prize package which includes a NAPP membership, Photoshop CS4 Down & Dirty Tricks book, and my latest dvd: Photoshop CS4 Design Effects. Entries will be judged on overall impact and overall creative use of the techniques. You have until June 24 to enter, so while there is time don’t put it off too long. Well, now I leave it to you, Good Luck!!!

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).
