Hi All,

To my knowledge it is possible to select a layer by holding down the CTRL key and click an object on the canvas. Super handy some time.

But what is happening here is that it is default that every thing gets selected when I click on it. Very anoying because I can’t click anything or it gets selected if I want to or not.

Is this a setting that has switched somehow or is it time to buy a new keyboard? Anyone? Thanks a lot!

(using CS2 / win xp-sp2)

look in the opion bar with the move tool selected. i think there’s something like ‘autoselect layer’… been a while since i’ve looked so i forget the exact wording…

I don’t have cs on this machine, but i just checked in vers. 7 and yes it’s called "Auto Select Layer". uncheck it.
