    Cory:

    I love your tutorials!!, you are my favorite from the photoshop guys, I want to ask youa favor… I think I accidentally threw away an issue of layers magazine with one of your tutorials, the tutorial was a movie poster effect also that had a silhouette of a girl and beams of light in the back so she looked all black with the splendor, you wrote “american pop star” as a title, I hope you can re create it here so that I can have it back…

    Thanks

    You’re layer is completely filled. Meaning there is no transparency around the shape. You need to select the white area of that layer and delete it.

    HI CORY, HOW ARE YOU? MY QUESTION’S: HOW TO CREATE A TEXT ONE TIME TO BE APPLY OR INPRINTED ON 1000 PHOTOS. THE IDEA IS, AN EXAMPLE: YOU HAVE THIS MESSAGE; “5TH ANIVESSARY OF RED BULL CLUB” TO BE INPRITED ON 5000 PHOTOS, BUT NOT TO DO IT ONE BY ONE…!!!

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).
