• How to use just 1 click away with the move (v command) tool to select the layer in the Group?

  I'm on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 Photoshop CS3 10.0.

  Is it possible to click only once with "V command" to select a layer in a group?

  I used to be able to do and on my laptop I can do now (same OS and Photoshop), but the mac that I use for my design work won't... I must also, right-click and select the layer highlighted. I have a document a lot of multilayer Photoshop with many groups, and it is an extra step of your time.

  Is there a preference I can turn on? Or some other simple typo?

  Thank you very much!

  Select the tool move and set the options of the control bar. By default, it took to select a group, simply change layer.

• Select the layer function in action

  I have three layers with text in different languages. I want to record in three different PNG files.

  I tried to do action, select the layer, hide it and save it. Select another layer, then do the same thing. But the selection of layers is not saved to the action.

  Is there a solution?

  big thank you

  No, I don't think. The selections are what they mean - interactive decisions which provide a context for a tool or a command. What you would require a script, and even in this case, you have to take care to name the layers properly in the first place...

• JS CS4: Create the variable for the active layer, and then select the layer at the end of a script

  I'm come white with the verbiage and spin my wheels with OMV guide and script.

  var myOriginalLayer = app.activeDocument.layers.item (0);
  Alert (myOriginalLayer)

  Returns "layer object" and not the name of the layer.

  var myOriginalLayer = app.activeDocument.layers.lastItem () .name;

  Returns the name of the layer I want but not by choice.

  I am challenged on how to select the layer.

  Hi John,.

  The difference lies in that the [Object Layer] is the real object, and the 'name' is a property - like color.

  You can use one of these two approaches:

  var myOriginalLayer = app.activeDocument.layers.item (0);
  Alert (myOriginalLayer.Name);

  hosts the original layer object, and you can see the name if necessary :-)

  For re - select the layer, use

  app.activeDocument.activeLayer = myOriginalLayer;

  You can also select name goes like

  var myOriginalLayerNAME = app.activeDocument.layers.lastItem () .name;

  ...

  app.activeDocument.activeLayer = app.activeDocument.layers.item (myOriginalLayerNAME);

  I also noted the following:

  app.activeDocument.layers.item (0) points to the first layer of your document; not the 'active'. Similarly, app.activeDocument.layers.lastItem () points only to the very last. I don't know if the order of the activeDocument.layers array mimicks the order as shown in the tags palette, but I hope for it :-)

  To get/set the active layer, use app.activeDocument.activeLayer as shown above.

• Shortcut to select the bounding box / wired / transform button in the effect control window?

• Select the layer name

  I need to select a specific layer or group by name.  What is the correct syntax to do this with Javascript?

  you want to select all the items on the layer? or only some types (e.g., blocks of text, groups, paths)?

  Let's take a look at the same time.

  Let's start by selecting all the elements on a given layer (in this case the layer is called "Target layer");

  Note that pageItems means that any element of art in the document. could be text, could be a path, can be a group, could be a compound path.

  var docRef = app.activeDocument;
  var layers = docRef.layers;
  var myLayer = layers["Target Layer"]; //this defines the layer that you want to get the selection from
  
  docRef.selection = null; //ensure there is nothing in the document selected already. this way you only get the selection you want.
  for(var a=0;a
  now lets do the same thing, but we will choose just the groupItems
  var docRef = app.activeDocument;
  var layers = docRef.layers;
  var myLayer = layers["Target Layer"];
  
  docRef.selection = null;
  for(var a=0;a
  and finally, in order to be comprehensive, allows to select two different types of art objects, but not all types. For example, if a single layer has text blocks, groups, paths and transparent traces. Let's just select managers of related texts and groupItems. This time we will have to include a conditional statement to find the correct item types.
  var docRef = app.activeDocument;
  var layers = docRef.layers;
  var myLayer = layers["Target Layer"];
  
  docRef.selection = null;
  for(var a=0;a		   

• Impossible to select the layer.

  I make a film of typography. I am now at the part that I do a composition of each 5 layers. But after several times I'm stuck. Because as soon as I select a layer I select the publication I've done. It's just scared because I still get the error when I'm away in. Losing hours of work.

  If you never turned on, how ' end Open GL?  It should be off, too.  After these two easy to do things, you can dig deeper in the previous proposals if necessary.

• Cannot select the layer via CTRL + ALT

  Hello

  If my memory is good, in CS3, I could ctrl + click on the layer alt while using the Brush tool. I can do is more in CS4. To do this, I first have to click on the selection tool, and then ctrl + alt click an image to select its corresponding layer, which is not a time saver. In any case, am I doing something wrong or avoid to activate certain features? Thanks in advance.

  Select the move tool and make sure automatic selection is checked and it is set to layer in the Options bar. To select another layer simply Ctrl + click on it in the document (no need to the ALT key). Is that what you want?

• "Control Click" to select the layer when it is in a group?

  You can keep the [Ctrl] key and click on an element in your document to select its layer. However, if click you on something that is within a group, the entire group is selected. Is there a way to get around this other that right click and selecting its layer in the context menu?
