Photoshop :: Selecting Different Layers

Sep 1, 2011

Usually when I want to work on a different layer, I will select the layer in the layers panel first, or alternatively hold down ctrl and left click on the image in my actual design that's on the layer I wish to change to. However I must have done "something" because now no matter what layer I am on, if I click on a part of my design that's on a different layer to which I am working on, it will automatically select this image and change to this layer. This is highly annoying because every time I am trying to edit something or move something around I suddenly find I am on a different layer again!

I'm not sure how I did this or how to change it back. When I started this design a few days ago it was working normally.

Photoshop :: Increase Font Size In Many Text Layers At A Time By Selecting In Layers Panel

May 9, 2013

I would like to increase the font size in many text layers at a time by selecting them in the layers panel. The font increases, but the text boxes don't expand to fit the increased size text. So I am having to make each box bigger manually. Is there a way to have the boxes expand to fit bigger text automatically through the layers panel?

Photoshop :: Selecting Layers

Sep 5, 2008

I've been having issues selecting my layers in CS2. The first thing I noticed is that i'm not able to select more than one unless I put them in a folder. The second issue, new tonight as far as i can tell, happens when i'm selecting a layer in the image by clicking on the graphic and and it doesn't select the one i'm on but rather a layer that is turned off in a folder above. Does anyone know if there is something i can do to reset my layer properties?

Photoshop :: How To Disable Selecting Adjustment Layers

Feb 24, 2012

When you're selecting layers directly from an image (using CTRL) you also select adjustment layers, so sometimes you have to lock this layer in order to get to the right layer.
 
It would be a lot easier to manipulate many layers (usually in my case, most of them have the adjustment layer setting 'attached' to them) if i wouldn't select these 'adjustments' when I click on the canvas. Is it actually possible to do?

Photoshop :: Selecting All Layers Slowing System So Much?

May 31, 2012

I'm now using Photoshop CS6 and I've noticed that selecting all layers is having a major drain of CPU.I've run Activity Monitor and with SAL on the %CPU is showing 238! This seems crazy, but I can't work out why? There must be an error in CS6?
 
Even without SAL on the %CPU is still reading 131.I am using the mixer brushes and I am aware that these are a big problem in PS, but should it be this bad?
 
My system:
Mac Pro
2x2.8 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon
10 GB 800 MHz DDR2
 
Only running OS and PS CS6 with 3 layers open..image 13M

Photoshop :: Selecting Hide Or Block Layers?

Jun 26, 2013

there are a very strange thing when I select some layers with Move Tool (V). An example:
 
I have too many layers. If I hide or block some of them and I try to select with the Move Tool (clicking on any layout point and dragging) I can't select it. This is the right behaviour.
 
The problem appears if those layers are in a group and I hide or block the group. In this case the layers are selected with the same operation. And this is tedious when you have too many layers grouped and you want to block all of them.
 
Summarize:
 
- If I block each layer individually, all is right; I can`t select it.

- If I block the group, I can select the layers, and this is wrong.

Photoshop :: Auto-Select Is Selecting Hidden Layers In CC

Jun 18, 2013

I use auto-select primarily when designing. I will often clicking and dragging a marquee box to select multiple objects. I immediately noticed that it is now selecting hidden layers as well, where it didn't before.
 
Is there a setting or way to change this? I am assuming as of now that this is a new change. They will still select even if the layers are locked so locking groups is not a solution for this.

Photoshop :: Move Tool In CC Selecting Hidden Layers Too

Jun 19, 2013

I'm using the Photoshop CC in Windows8 64x as trial and find a curious bug with the Move Tool:Usually I select multiple layers creating a selection with the Move Tool on them, but in this new CC version the tool is selecting hidden layers too. More details: the hidden layer are inside a folder. The folder is hidden, but the inside layers are not.
 
This type of selection has always worked perfectly in previously versions, and of course, I leave the option "Auto Select> Layer" enabled.

Photoshop :: Selecting Layers Inside The Document Area

Apr 28, 2007

How do I select a layer inside the document area?

I would have thought that if I click on an object (in the document area) it should select the layer. But this does not happen. In order to select an layer, I have to select it from the Layers palette.

So is there any way I can select an layer inside the document area?

Photoshop :: Selecting Layers With Move / Select Tool Is Imprecise (CS6)

Aug 23, 2012

i switched from CS5 to CS6 Extended (Win 7 64bit) and I'm a little bit confused about the select/move tool (V). I have "automatic selection" activated and when I click on a layer, Photoshop often selects a nearby layer but not the one I'm clicking at - often the layer selected is more on top of the layer I was planning to select, but that was no problem in CS5 ... Is there anything I can change in the settings or is this behavior "normal"?
 
For example - a cursor placed at the marked position selected the white arrow-vector-shape.

Photoshop :: Selecting Multiple Type Layers Causes Character Palette

Aug 15, 2012

Select one type layer, as you can see below, the character panel reflects the setting correctly:
 
Select TWO type layers, with the exact same character attributes.. what happens?

It should say in the image above 36px/52px, not 12.16px (.16 px? Really?) and 17.56.I haven't the foggiest idea where that even comes from.
 
But the result for all photoshop users is that they have to individually change all the layers individually..I was hoping character styles would work, i have yet to figure out how it even works, i've tried multiple times, it just doesn't do anything to the selected type.

Photoshop :: Selecting Multiple Text Layers - Larger Font Size

Jun 21, 2012

I have found this post from April where the bug was acknowledged in the beta:

[URL].........
 
I now have the official release of CS6, and I am still seeing this issue. And for clarification, here's what the issue is:
 
- I start off creating a text layer with a font size of 20px.
- I then transform this layer to make it larger.
- I copy the layer over so I have identical text layers.
- When I select each individually, I am shown the new, larger font size, we'll just say 40px. But when I select both together, it shows the original font size of 20px in the character palette. When I increase the font size with both selected to say 30px, it actually makes the text more like 60px.
 
Will this bug actually get fixed?

CorelDRAW X5 :: Selecting Multiple Layers

Apr 27, 2012

I've just upgraded to Corel X5 and cannot find a way of selecting more than one layer at a time in the Object Manager docker. (With X3 I simply held down Shift and selected however many layers I wanted). I sometimes need to select dozens of layers at once to delete them or switch off visibility - surely not one at a time? How is this done in X5?

GIMP :: Selecting Layers For Editing

Apr 25, 2012

Is there a way to select a layer for editing other than by clicking on it in the layer panel?

I currently have a >200MB xcf file with nearly 100 different layers which I need to adjust before I merge then down a bit. I have found that you can find where the layer is in the list by holding the left mouse button down while hovering the cursor over it, but it always then disappears off the screen and it's a chore trying to find it. I have all the layers named, but it would be a lot more convenient if there was a way to select the layer through the image itself?

AutoCAD .NET :: Selecting Entities In Multiple Layers

Jan 15, 2013

Is it possible to select entities of multiple layers?

I've looked at... [URL] .....

...and tried the following code.
 
string[] layerNames = {"1", "2", "3"};TypedValue[] tdv = new TypedValue[(layerNames.Length * 3) + 2];int i = 0;tdv[i++] = new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.Operator, "<or");foreach (string ln in layerNames){ tdv[i] = new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.Operator, "<and"); tdv[i + 1] = new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.LayerName, ln); tdv[i + 2] = new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.Operator, "and>"); i += 3;}tdv[i - 2] = new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.Operator, "or>");SelectionFilter sf = new SelectionFilter(tdv);PromptSelectionResult psr = ed.SelectAll(sf);
 This code gives me an error in the PromptSelectionResult.

What would cause the erro?

AutoCad :: Selecting Objects In Multiple Layers

Aug 15, 2012

I'm using QSELECT to select all objects on a layer, sometimes I need to select objects from 5-7 layers.

Right now I use QSELECT, select 1 layer, click OK, open QSELECT again, select another layer and repeat. Is there a faster way to do this without scripts?

I'm sure some of you do site drawings, how do you measure a curve? Some restaurants or cafes have a rounded serving counter, how you measure the radius to plot into autocad?

Inside After Effects, there is an option by selecting all the Layers and go to Keyframe assistance- Sequence Layers. Therefore you have all the layers overlapping  each others the way you want without manually adjusting them, and you can create a Slide Show.I wonder If we can do that Inside Premiere Pro.

Illustrator Scripting :: Selecting Text Frames On All Visible Layers

Mar 3, 2013

I want to select all text frames on all visible layers. The script below will select all text frames even in groups but when a layer with text on it is invisible the script will error.(target layer cannot be modified)
 
if (app.documents.length > 0 ) {
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var numTextFrames = 0;
for (  i = 0; i < doc.textFrames.length; i++ ) {
textArtRange = doc.textFrames[i];
textArtRange.selected = true;
}
}
 
So I made this script to select text frames on only the visible layers but it now misses text that is in a group.
 
var layerCount = activeDocument.layers.length;
var docSelected = activeDocument.selection;
for (i = 0; i < layerCount; i++)

[Code] .....

Why it does not selected textframes in a group when done this way and is there a way to get all textframes selected on all visible layers?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Freeze Layers In Xref'd Viewports By Selecting Them In The Viewport

May 8, 2013

In previous versions of Autocad 2008 and earlier you could start a new drawing xref in a drawing then switch to layout and create a viewport that would show the xref.    Then you could click inside that viewport and run the FL (freeze layer) command and selectively freeze layers by clicking on them.

In my current version of Autocad Civil 3D 2010,  when I follow the same steps as above and run the FL (freeze layer) command inside the viewport, the entire layer contents within the viewport freeze as if everything is on that one layer.

I notice that if I pull up the layer manager box and go down the list of xref'd layers and select the freeze in viewport option for each of the layers I need to freeze it will do what I need to have done,  But I'd like to be able to be able to selectively freeze these layers visually within the viewport like I've always been able to do, instead scrolling down a long list of layer names and freezing them that way.

how to do this in Civil 3D 2010?

So I wanna break some stuff down in multiple AI files, but I don't wanna go and select every layer and delete it. That would take too much time. Is there a way to select the multiple objects in Illustrator and delete that but also its layer its in?

AutoCad :: Delay In Selecting Object And Selecting Command?

Sep 25, 2008

I am having a problem with a delay in selecting an object and selecting a command.

When I select an object the pointer has at least a 3 second delay before it starts moving around normally again. It is the same with selecting a command. This has started to get tedious. It has worked fine in the past so I don't think it is a RAM/graphics card problem.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Mouse Selecting / Not Selecting?

May 15, 2012

OK, today, or actually just this afternoon I've noticed it has become much harder to select items with the mouse.

Points, nodes, etc...anything where you'd typically hover the mouse over the item and it highlights for you to select it.

For example, lets say you want to project a point from another sketch, or select the center node of a line, etc.

Never really had an issue until this afternoon where now it seems I have to be right on top of the item and I cannot budge one bit or it won't select it. It is now taking me numerous attempts to select things like points (zooming in does not work, points scale accordingly).

Is there a setting somewhere? I can't seem to find such under Tools>Application Options and the like.
