Photoshop How-To: Automatically Blend Multiple Layers

Can't Watch the Tutorial

Hi, the link to this tutorial takes me to InDesign Magazine, for which I do not have an account. There seems to be no way to get an account other than subscribing, which I do not want to do.

HELP!

Thanks,

Need a non-moving version

The subject is good, but I hated the animation on the lead page, and I gave up on loading QuickTime so never saw the tutorial (I don't get much out of tutorial movies anyhow.)
