Great new feature in PS. Thanks for the tip. I have a question that will probably require an old reply:
Can you even out the lighting on a photo with somewhat harsh shadows across a face or multiple faces?
Hi Dave,
You have always been able to duplicate multiple layers in CS5 (and probably 4 too) by either:
Highlight all the layers and drag them into the new layer button in the layers pannel.
Or
Highlight all the layers , right click any of the highlighted layers then choose ‘duplicate layers’
This isn’t new in CS6, only the command+J or control+J method is new in CS6 for multiple layers.
Regardless, always lots of good stuff from you Dave, keep it up! For Canada!
HI Dave,
How do I copy the same layer into multiple documents at once vs one at a time. ? Example photo logo on 100 files.
