Hi,

Hi,

My Move tools has just started to ‘dig’ by itself.

If I select a layer and then use Move Tool on any transparent area, it selects the layer below that has pixels in it.

It’s now incredibly difficult to get anything done. Especially with small items.

Used to take a Ctrl key press to ‘dig’ now its like ‘Ctrl’ is held down all the time.

In fact – it’s working the other way round, holding down ‘Ctrl’ works as I want…

Any ideas?

Hi,

Hi,

Hello, hello. 🙂

My Move tools has just started to ‘dig’ by itself.

I’ve never quite heard it put like that (<g>), but try to uncheck autoselect layer in the options bar.

Thanks

That was it…

Can’t think of any better way to expalin it.

I looked for ‘auto select layer’ in PhotoShop help (after you told me). But there was no specific item for this option.

How would I have found it by myself – one thinks…

Thanks for your help.
