PhotoShop in general makes you work with one layer at at time, and for example, won’t let you hold the Shift key down to select multiple layers, even though someone in this thread says you can (or is there something I don’t know)

(You have to link layers first. It is intriguing that ImageReady CS DOES now let you shift select multiple layers to work with them as a group, which is perhaps a sign of things to come for PhotoShop)

Anyway, I wondered:

What ARE the ways that you can work with or affect more than one layer at a time in PhotoShop? I started to collect and organize them and put them up on my web site.

If you are interested, take a look, and let me know if I am missing anything, or am in error about something I included. I think it is an interesting topic to organize.

Hey Dale nice collection of tips u have there…

Here’s two more tips for ya. Both involve New Adjustment Layers

1. Create a ‘New Adjustment Layer’ as the upper most layer in a multi-layer document, will affect all layers below it.

2. Create a New Adjustment Layer’ as the upper most layer in a Layer Set of a multi-layered document, but change the Set mode
from Pass Through to Normal, and the Adjustment Layer only affects the ones inside the Set and not the ones below.

cheers
