PS CS3: cannot select object in layer with keystroke

403 views2 repliesLast post: 7/2/2008
Hello. I've looked in various places and cannot find the answer to my question; perhaps I'm not asking using the proper description. I hope someone here in this forum understands and can help.

In past versions of PS I've been able to select the object in a layer by hitting control and clicking on the layer. I would get the marching ants and then could use that selection by creating a new layer for it and then manipulate it as I desire. Now it looks like the stroke causes linking to turn on and off.

I very much liked being able to select the object in a layer and used it quite often in my designing. I still want to use it, but how? Does anyone know if this function has been preserved and how do I access it?

Thanks VERY MUCH. -Kat

It's been changed. Ctrl-click on the little thumbnail preview.

Well, fabulous. You think I would have figured that out...
