    Cool tutorial, I’d have never thought to use bread for something like that.

  5. Jess said on — October 23, 2009 @ 10:15 pm

    I’ve used textures from rusty metal to corn flakes, but I would never think to use bread. Very nice tut!!!!!!!!!!

    I used the bread and can’t seem to get the same effect. Most of the bread pictures online are istock with the transparent white lines in it. Haven’t had this much trouble with a corey tutorial since the bevel text beer bottle

    I could see useing those brush settings to do tree fungus too.

    @Scott

    You see the transparent white lines because with iStock you must purchase the photo. It’s their way of people stealing without purchasing. You could try Stock Xhng for free textures. :)

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).
