    You never fail to amaze me! What a great career you must have – your “workroom” must be like your “playground”. Ah—–if all my days could be in the “magic land” of photoshop.

    tried it out just then, pretty nice tut. I increased the contrast on the clipped metal layer instead of adding a gradient and it matches the bevel/stroke pattern alot better.

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).
