Select objects and layers

Here's a simple question which I simply forgot. How do you select a particular object and its corresponding layer? Say you have numerous layers and you see the object in the layout; now you select the object and its layer; to change the blending mode or layer stack order. A keyboard combination and click did the trick, but I forgot it after some time away from Photoshop.

Cheers!

With the move tool selected, right mouse button click on an area of the image where you want to select an object on a layer.

Or hold down Ctrl and right-click. Make sure AutoSelect is unchecked.

On Mac it's Command-Control for the same thing.

Indeed, you do select the MOVE tool and right the image. It should get in the vicinity of the layer if you created it in some hierarchy. If you have many objects on top of each other then it may select the top most object. So you need to keep the layer stack order logical so you can drill down to whatever layer you need. But then again you could name your layers too.
