The Game Is On
What is perhaps best described as the Super Bowl of Photoshop events. Photoshop World is once again upon us. A fitting description as this years theme is football. I am very excited about this year. We have got all the great stuff you love and some new stuff as well. I am teaching all new classes this year. For instance, I have a class called Planet Photoshop Live! where I will be demonstrating some the most popular tutorials right here on Planet Photoshop live. Of course with a few surprises here and there. Go here for a list of all classes and instructors. This year we are Boston on March 25-27 for Photoshop World East and it’s going to be a blast. It’s also going to be cold. Brrrrrr!!!! Hope to see you there.
Don’t forget for those of you around the Tampa Bay area I will be teaching at the Digital Technology Center in Sarasota on January 24, 2009. This is a day long, hands on course on creating cool design effects with Photoshop. Here’s the link.

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).
