Photoshop for Forensics

 

Here is a site I stumbled upon over the weekend. With forensic imaging becoming more and more prominent, it was only a matter of time before someone started writing about it. This blog is hosted by Jim Hoerricks and discusses news and techniques in the world of forensics. The blog includes tips and techniques for using Photoshop in a forensic workflow. So, even if you are not a criminalist, it’s still interesting to see what other industries are doing with Photoshop.

    Hi Corey!

    I really enjoyed Layers TV, episode 26 when you were talking about the various Wacom tablets!

    I own one of their Special Edition models that also comes with the Airbrush Pen and am really enjoying it! I’m amazed at how much more power I now have with Photoshop CS3′s brushes. I still have to order the Mouse though, which I plan on doing very soon.

    I like the way you’ve spruced up your website by the way! It was great before even.

    Keep posting those great tutorials you do on the site as well!

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).
