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).

Nice looking artwork. The only real problem that I see with it is the vanishing point text. It looks off to me.

Very nice picture Paul!! I love the sand effect you did here. I kinda new to this whole planet experience and been watching the tutorials as I drifted away to other graphics programs and am now glad to say that I’m back with CS4 and LOVING every minute of it, my creative imagination is exploding so fast with ideas it’s so hard to prioritize which to do first. Ha….Anyway, Your design is inspirational, keep up the great work.

Very nice work – The red and yellow in the collage truly makes this pop. I also love the sand effect. Veeeery nice! I can almost envision his leg forming from the sand. Come to think of it, if you actually made the sand transition to his leg as if he were truly formed from sand, I think that would make this piece look even more amazing!
