- [Instructor] As you get more comfortable…working with layers, there are a few shortcuts…that will help you to be more efficient.…I'll choose File, and then Browse in Bridge.…Select the Peppers layer, hold down the Shift key,…and select the tomatoes,…in order to select all four of these documents.…Instead of opening them as unique documents,…I'll choose Tools, Photoshop,…and then Load Files into Photoshop Layers.…That tells Bridge to hand off…all four of those unique photographs…and put them within a single document.…
Then I'll choose Window, Arrange, and Tile…so that I can see both of my documents.…I'll click on the Harvest.psd file,…and make sure that the greens frame is targeted.…That way when I select my Move tool,…return to to Untitled1, and hold down the Shift key…to select all four of these layers.…When I drag and drop them into the Harvest file,…holding down the Shift key,…they will appear on top, or above the greens frame.…
Then I no longer need Untitled1,…so I'll close it without saving changes.…Now there are a variety of different ways…
