New Video Tutorial | Photoshop CS4 for Photographers

 

Photoshop Senior Product Manager John Nack just recently had a guest post on his blog written by fellow Photoshop Product Manager Bryan O’Neil Hughes. The post basically asks the question, “What’s in Photoshop CS4 for photographers?” So if you are a photographer and haven’t yet come to a decision on whether or not to upgrade, read this post to aid in your decision. Here’s the link.

Also, there is a new video tutorial here on Planet. This week we venture further into creating custom brushes for unique effects. In this case, we will create a bullet hole brush. Again, the beauty of these kinds of effects as brushes is better control and it’s always available in the brush menu. Try the effect as you see, but try and venture further than that and experiment with other combinations. Here’s the link.

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).
