linking layers is not working for me in PS CS.. I link layers the usu. way then try to move them to another file or just move them w/in file but only selected layer moves, not other layers linked to it… is there somethig new about linking layers in this new version I’m missing? thank you..

also, now when I select a layer on its own I can’t even drag it.. what is happening? what is a fill layer? cd this be a fill layer? do fill layers behave differently? how do I convert to a normal layer? why so many different kinds of layers? this can get confusing… thank you.. Frances

sorry for so many posts on this… why is it that in PS CS when you select a layer — I mean make it layer to be revised in layers palette, not select w/a marquee around it — that layer gets a kind of marquee around it??? thank you..

You must be Ctrl-clicking (Command-click on Mac) on it to get the marquee, which would also explain why it’s not dragging the other layers. Just hold down Ctrl without clicking or use the Move tool.

Since you seem to be unfamiliar with some kinds of Adjustment Layers and Vector Shapes I have to assume you have been using older versions, since these kinds of layers have been around for a few versions now. Vector Masks and such can be very useful.
