Previewing your Type very quickly

 

Serif or sans serif? Oblique or Avant Garde? I am from more of a “Yeah, that looks appropriate” school of font usage. If you would like to cycle through your fonts to see what looks good, first commit the type. Once the type has been committed, click on the font name in the Character panel (Window>Character). With the font name highlighted, press the Up and Down Arrow keys to move through different fonts.

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).
