Photoshop Book of the Week

 

Ok, I had to go ahead and post my book pick this week because it is already getting a lot of buzz. Scott Kelby has a new book coming out later this month called Scott Kelby’s 7-Point System for Adobe Photoshop. It’s quite simply a workflow checklist for handling virtually any imaging issue you encounter. Have you ever  uploaded your images to your computer and said to yourself, “Now what do I do?”  This book is the answer. For a clearer explanation by Scott himself go here.

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).
