Is there a way to see which layer you are grabbing, aside from selecting "show bounding box" when in Move mode? I realise in an ideal world we’d have all our layers named, but it’s not always practical, especially if you’re creating new from selections frequently.

Also, in both PS 7 and CS, when you go Workspace-Tile, is there a way to make the windows tile horizonally instead of vertically?

Thanks in advance for any tips on these issues.

Jo, if you select the Move tool "V" on the keyboard, then you can Ctrl click on a part of your image and the layer that it is on will become active.

And as far as I know, there is no way to change the vertical to horizontal tiling. A lot of people would like to have that. Maybe in an update.
