The Histrogram Palette’s Visual Cues

 

When you’re using Photoshop’s Histogram palette (under the Window menu), not only can you see a histogram of each individual channel (select the All Channels View option from the Histogram palette’s flyout menu), but you can use color as your visual cue to quickly see which channel is which. Just choose Show Channels in Color from the palette’s flyout menu, and then the Red channel histogram will appear in red, the Green in green, etc.

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).
