Last time I used photoshop was version 7, and I thought I was very comfortable with it, now trying to do simple projects with CS is a real freeking hassel. I can’t figure out what is happening to my layers. Everytime I want to create some kind of shape on a layer being a box or circle, it makes another "shape" box to the right of the layer picture box……… what is this? Then when I try to move something like transform an object on a different layer it keeps changing the layer with this shape thing attached to the layer…….. even though I select the layer I want to edit…….. the freeking program keeps re-selecting the layer with this shape on it……… I CAN’T DO ANYTHING NOW…….. please help me I’m so frustrated at the moment!!!!

Zack,

You have the wrong Shape mode selected in the Options Bar. See the three icons on the left side when you use the Shapes? Each one does a different thing.

That other little layer to the right is a Vector Mask.

Actually, these things worked exactly the same way in 7 and 6.
