Photoshop Select Layer Tip

August 4, 2006 by cryan.com

In old versions of Photoshop it was pretty easy to select all the contents of a particular layer. I usually use this to put round corners on the selected image. In the latest Photoshop the process changed slightly.

By Default Auto-Layer is enabled, which means that when you click an image it auto selects that layer. If you click on the Marquee Tool (M), then Right Click or Control-Click on a Mac, and then select "Load Selection" then the option to the right, such as "Layer 2 Transparancy"

Using a Mac, Use the Command Key (Apple Key) and click on the Layer Icon in the Layer Palette.
