Special Tutorial on YouTube!

 

For those of you who might have missed it, just about a week ago I was the guest blogger over at Scott Kelby’s blog. My post was on the topic of creative exploration and the creative exercises I do to generate ideas. In addition to the post, I produced a video tutorial exclusively for the blog which was then posted on YouTube. It was well received and I got a lot of positive feedback on that and the video. Click here to read the post and click here to view the video.

Also we are getting really close to Photoshop World in Las Vegas. I am super excited because this involves two my favorite things: Photoshop and Las Vegas. What a combination. Hey, if you are and you are trying to figure out which classes to attend. Check out the Photoshop World Planner by Dave Cross. This downloadable pdf lets you set a schedule of which classes you want to attend. Have fun and we will see you in Vegas!

    Schweet video! World reknowned as the Master of 50% gray and the Wizard of the Warp Tool, you must now be recognized as the Pharaoh of the Finger-painting Tool. Such easy effects! Who knew?

    What I love about your video is that it shows how powerful experimentation can be. In other words, although I may not use the exact effect you have demonstrated, I am very inspired to spend more time just trying out possibilities.

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).
