Shortcuts For Highlight And Shadow Warnings

 

If you’re going to be using CS2’s new Highlight and Shadow clipping warnings, here are two shortcuts you’ll need to know: Press the letter O to turn on the Highlight clipping warning (everything that appears highlighted in red is clipping), and press U to toggle on/off the Shadow clipping warning (everything that appears in blue is clipped to solid black with no detail).

    Cool. But how do I adjust those areas that are too dark or too light?

    It would be great if there was an easy way to do this from 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).
