The Multiple Undo Shortcut

 

Need to back up a few steps to re-adjust a setting? Piece of cake. Here’s a shortcut to do just that. You can step back through your History palette (found under the Window menu) by pressing Command-Option-Z (PC: Control-Alt-Z) a few times. This doesn’t delete the items, but takes you back a step in the History palette each time you apply the shortcut.

    This is one of the coolest/time saving tricks for an advanced user. I’ve was tired of clicking back and forth to the history for multiple undo’s, and had never thought there was a work-around. What a simple yet effective shortcut..

    Thanks!

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).
