Is there a way to see which layer you are grabbing, aside from selecting "show bounding box" when in Move mode? I realise in an ideal world we’d have all our layers named, but it’s not always practical, especially if you’re creating new from selections frequently.

Also, in both PS 7 and CS, when you go Workspace-Tile, is there a way to make the windows tile horizonally instead of vertically?

Thanks in advance for any tips on these issues.

Not quite sure what you’re asking. The layer highlighted in the Layers palette is the one you are on. If you want to know what layer a pixel that your cursor is on resides in, Hold down Ctrl and right-click and you will get a context menu that tells you and will bring you to it. On Mac Command-Control does the same thing.

Not yet.

Thanks: That’s exactly what I needed.
