Photoshop Book of the Week

 


This week’s book is the Photoshop Studio with Bert Monroy. This book’s new edition is scheduled to be released later this month and I can’t wait. Bert’s books are always inspiring and always have that little something you may never have thought of. Bert’s last Studio book was simply amazing. Now you may say to yourself, “I am a photographer why would I want a book on illustration?” It’s simple, you never know what you can use these techniques for. What works for one illustration may work wonders on a photograph. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed. To find out more, click here and go here to check out more of Bert’s paintings.

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).
