Multiple files: opening as layers or switching between them

435 views5 repliesLast post: 7/6/2007
Hi,

I have 15 tiff files that I want to open and fool around with in Photoshop, but I am finding it hard to work with multiple files at once (much easier in Gimp!) For example, once I open all 15, I can't find a list of the open files, or a way to tab through the files that are open. Am I missing something? Also, is there an easy way to open files as layers in a single PSD document, rather than as individual files?

Thanks,
KE

Try the Windows or View drop down menu. One of them has a list of open documents.

Somebody!

Look in the Window menu.

Did you even bother to look for it yourself? There is a list in the 'Window' menu of Photoshop. I find it hard to believe you could miss that if that list is 15 entries long...
