Style Warning For Web Designers

 

If you’re designing Web graphics using Photoshop and ImageReady, you’re probably spending a decent amount of time swapping back and forth between the two apps. The two programs share many of the same features and commands. However, they don’t share custom styles that you’ve saved in Photoshop’s Styles palette. So just be forewarned: If you create a custom style in Photoshop, don’t expect to find that same style in ImageReady.

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).
