Photoshop :: How To Select Only Lowest Layer
Jun 2, 2013
On the Adobe site it states:
Â
If you need the lowest layer selected, press Option-Shift-[.
Â
Well, it doesn't work for me in all cases because if another layer is selected, both end up being selected. Inside an Action, how do I select the lowest layer, and only the lowest layer?
Â
And while I'm asking Action questions, in an existing action, how do I start recording so that the new actions are placed right at the top? If I select the name of the Action, the new recording is placed at the bottom. If I select the first item, the new recording is placed second.

if there are keyboard shortcut keys to these two operations?
1. Selecting a different layer than the active layer w/ keyboard key and selecting an item on that layer on the canvas?
2. Shortcut key strokes to select > Transform > Scale?

I can do one or another, but both at the same time? It is annoying because a mask selection turns into layer selection when you select a second layer/folder.

How can I select a shape on a layer in PSD in the layers palette?
In my past version of PSD, I was able to simply click on the Layer and hold either select or control to have marching ants go around my image - but with CS2 I am not able to do that.

I have an image with 8 layers and i want to draw lines. So I make a new layer. While this layer is selected, i select the line tool and draw a line. Then, as I want to move this line, I select the move tool and try to move it. But instead of moving the line I just drew, photoshop automatically switches to my background layer (although i'm not sure it's defined as "background layer") and moves the entire content of the layer.
To see what actually happened, i hid each layer in the layer palette... And still... here was my line. (with all layers hidden, is it POSSIBLE to have anything?)
I tried to select my line and then, using the move tool, move it, but the message "could not move the selection because the selected area is empty"...

Today i opened a psd file which 200 layers. Paint.net is very slow then (as all layers are flatten, pdn is missing hierarchical layers), but that is another problem.
I wanted to hide some background layers and "copy merged" a selection.
It took me 10mn to find all the backgrounds layers without this tool.
In photoshop the tool exist as a property of the "move selection" tool. Ie: you must first select the move selection tool, then select "layer" in the properties toolbar.
Any way to get that for v4 ? Will v4 be on github so we can clone and make patches ?

I will try to write this as clearly and shortly as possible.
I have two surfaces created lets call them Surface A and Surface B.
They have different elevations in different areas, sometimes Surface A is below Surface B and other times Surface B is below surface A.
Is there a way to easily create a Surface C which is a combo of Surfaces A and B taking which ever surface is lower?

I have many surfaces overlapping and I want to create one surface with the lowest elevation for each x,y coordinate from the existing surfaces. Does autocad civil 3D have a command for this?.

I have a need to find the lowest elevation inside of a small rectangular polygon (6'x7'), then assign the polygon to that elevation. This is fairly easily done manually with feature lines, however I need to repeat the operation about 3,000 times to create a design grid (therefore, not obliged to using all of the design budget to do so).
I employed the GIS department to run the analysis, which they can do, however they can't rotate the DEM grid output to match my project because it doesn't run parallel to north/south, thus skewing the results.

If I right click on parent folder....someone said to click Promote Subfolders......I do ot have this choice!

i think that adobe should make it able to take and select more than one layer and not only put a filter on all of them at once but also change the layer style to all of them at once. you can already scale and move all of the selected layers wich is good but it would be a nice feature to be able to do other stuff with the selected areas.

In highway construction, I usually check for lowest ditch elevation and see how the existing drainage flows. Typically one would create or specify in CL profile creation with a 15m offset right and left which would then generate existing CL and 15m offset profiles in profile view. However, the 15m offset profile might not represent the lowest point in the ditch as the lowest elevation offset distance varies along the highway.
My question: Is there a way in civil 3D profile creation where it can automatically trace the lowest elevation in the ditch and plot it in profile view?Â

is there a way to connect the lowest points of each cross section, for a series of cross sections, and possibly make a pline or feature line in plan view?

After moving to Win 7 I re-installed CS5. And have forgotten how I managed to set something to "auto select the right layer". For instance, clicking on the text of a text layer used to select that layer, clicking on a shape selected the appropriate shape layer. Which setting did I use for that and where can I find it? Should have written it down...

I have "auto select" turned on for the Move Tool and I click on a layer. How can I get Photoshop's Layer palette to scroll what I selected? I'm having to scroll up and down a lot trying to find my highlighted layer.

In past versions of PS I've been able to select the object in a layer by hitting control and clicking on the layer. I would get the marching ants and then could use that selection by creating a new layer for it and then manipulate it as I desire. Now it looks like the stroke causes linking to turn on and off.
I very much liked being able to select the object in a layer and used it quite often in my designing. I still want to use it, but how? Does anyone know if this function has been preserved and how do I access it?

Auto select layer is not working. I accidently hit a combination of keys and now it doesn't work. I did see that in the Layers box it indicated Pass Through but I checked Normal and it is still not working.
I restarted my computer twice in case it was my computer.

Hi, I have a couple image layers (each created by merging several others) that each also have a mask attached. I cannot get the layer mask selected on either one. I have found that I can delete the layer mask, and start with a new one and make edits, but it is a one-time shot: once I de-select it I cannot get back to it to make any further changes. Code:

I use quite often the right click in the window to select a layer, which works great. But sometimes this feature stops working as the menu does not come up with the layers below the mouse. First I thought it was the mouse but rightclicking in any other part of the screen (such as the border around the document or the panels works fine.
Is this a setting I need to make or is it a different problem such as lack of memory or what?

Photoshop CS3... What's the shortcut to selecting a layer in a document? Control clicking only selects the Layer Set. What's the shortcut to selecting an individual layer? I know that Right Click gives the option.. but is there a keyboard shortcut?

This has baffled me that photoshop does not do this. But why can't I not ctrl+click on a layer and get to the layers underneath that layer? No matter how many times I ctrl+click the layer to select it, it just selects the same topmost layer.
It is interupting my workflow majorly and it is really frustrating when using a lot of texture overlays to have to hide them and then ctrl+click to find where the layer is that I want to work on. Right clicking on my document just brings up all layers in my document no matter where my mouse is.
This is what shows when I right click: [URL]....

if I bring a photo in to Photoshop, at that point I have just a layer and the eyedropper will work just fine selecting which ever color I want from that image. However, if I then bring in and place a second image into photoshop, so that now I have two layers that I'm working on, the eyedropper will not select any color on that new image. Obviously I'm doing something wrong, but can't figure it out. I just want to be able to select a color from that second layer image.

I am writing an action and I want to select the next layer (up or down) for processing. Much like Layer>Arrange does except it relocates the layer up or down, I want to highlight a layer (up or down) for processing. If I click on the layer to select it in the action, then when I run the action on another photo, the action say it cant find the layer name (from the photo I used to build the action). Is there a key combination to do this ?   Like 'CMD [' and 'CMD ]' does for Layer> Arrange.

I try to generate an action applying a filter to every layer for files with dozens of layers. To move through layers, one supposedly can use "select next layer" menu item. However, "select next layer" does not exist in SELECT menu, and keyboard shortcut option-+/- (also tried option-alt-+/-, option-numkeypad-+/-) does not work. It moves through the blending options in the layers palette, but does not go to the next/previous layer.
Â
How do I tell PS to move to the next layer without clicking on the specific layer? I.e., some sort of command that I can integrate into an action.
Â
how to I make select next layer available again in PS CS5? There are no hidden menu items, so no "show all menu items" at bottom of menu.

I am using photoshop cs2 and have a question about the Ctrl + LClick Layer Select feature.
In PS9, the function will highlight the layer within a folder. However, in cs2, it selects the folder that contains the layer.
Is there a way to make it like the older version of Photoshop?
-----edit
Sorry, let me explain myself better.
I mean, Ctrl + LClicking the actual layer on the canvas, not the layer palette/window.
In PS9, When you perform the above function, in the layer-palette, it highlights that specific layer for you. In CS2, it highlights the folder that contains the layer.
