Selecting layersIf an image has multiple layers, you must choose which layer you want to work on. Any changes you make to the image affect only the active layer. You select a layer to make it active, and only one layer can be active at a time. The name of the active layer appears in the title bar of the document window, and a paintbrush icon
To select a layer:
Do one of the following: You can also select layers interactively as you use the move tool. If Auto Select Layer is selected in the Move tool options, the topmost layer containing pixels under the cursor will be selected. (See Moving selections and layers within an image.) |
