Wednesday…Yes It’s Wednesday

 

You know what that means…It’s guest blogger day over at Scott Kelby’s blog. Today’s guest blogger is my friend and fellow NAPP guru: Matt Kloskowski. Matt’s post today is an interesting take on what he would like to see if he could re-engineer the Photoshop interface. He even provides really cool sample images that he doctored up himself. I gotta admit after looking through them, there are quite a few I seriously think would be welcome additions to the app. Check it out here and if you can’t get enough of Matt you can check his very own blog over at LightroomKillerTips.com. Do enjoy and have a good one!!!

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).
