Hi,

This might sound dumb, but there was a feature in CS (Windows) that by clicking CTRL + Click on a layer in the layers panel, it could select the layer transparency……err, how do I do that in CS2. I’ve tried all combinations, but the only way to do it now is thru’ Select -> Load Selection

Is there a shortcut like the earlier one or something wrong I’m doing? Please let me know …

Ok, it wasn’t that dumb after all 🙂

All I need to do is CTRL+Click on the layer thumbnail. that’s because of the new way of selecting layers 🙂

But for someone who works with NO thumnails, because the number of layers in a composition, this is a painful process. Any other way to achieve the same?

…. or to do it "single handed" right click on the thumbnail and choose Select Transparency from the fly-out menu.

If you’re using the No Thumnails View just do all the above but to the small "brush" icon.
