Use Dual-Monitor Feature with One Monitor

 

*Photoshop Lightroom 2 Tip*

Dual-monitor support also works if you’re using only one monitor.  With the Filmstrip open, click on the second monitor icon at the bottom-left.  When the second display appears, resize it as necessary.  Change the settings to Loupe and Zoom to Fit Screen, and then move the display to an area of your workspace where it isn’t in the way of your retouching work.  As you zoom in to work on the image, the second monitor display shows how the changes are affecting the entire photo.

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).
