In-Depth Information
In CS5, Adobe included a built-in script that will go through your Layers panel and remove
any empty layers (layers with nothing on them) automatically (once you get a large multi-
layered project going, you wind up with more of these than you'd think). To have Pho-
toshop tidy things up for you, go under the File menu, under Scripts, and choose
Delete All
Empty Layers

Removing Noise from Cell Phone Photos
Since Photoshop is a pro tool, most of us probably wouldn't even think of using Camera
Raw's built-in Noise Reduction feature to remove the noise from our cell phone camera's
photos, but...why not? Cell phone photos are notorious for color noise, which Camera Raw
cleans up really well. Try it one time, and I'll bet you'll use it more than you ever dreamed
(to open a cell phone photo in Camera Raw, just find it on your computer in Bridge, then
Right-click on it and choose
Open in Camera Raw
).
