The Best of Both Worlds

 

Those of us who enjoy the ease of use and creative freedom of using a Wacom pressure-sensitive tablet know that being mobile has become increasingly popular and hauling around a lot of extraneous equipment can be tiring to say the least. Enter the Modbook from Axiotron. This new device is basically a Mac Book and a Cintiq all-in-one. Perfect for the traveling artist. It has roughly a 13 inch screen and Wacom’s patented Penabled technology built right in. A remarkable step forward in bringing these two powerful features together. You know, it’s astonishing that with all these advances in technology that we still have to contend with short battery life. When will this madness end?

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).
