  Selection Of Objects in Layer – Marquee Ants?

  Posted by Shaon Reed on September 28, 2005 at 6:27 pm

  This may be somewhere in new features but for the life of me I can’t find it. I recently upgraded to Photoshop CS2 from CS. A feature from CS and pervious versions of PS that I use constantly in my workflow is the ablilty to do a full marquee selection (walking ants) of whatever I have in a given layer by simple holding the Apple key down while clicking on that layer. Not the Select All feature but for example I want to select a part of a logo to do an modify too. So far to accomplish this I have to use the magic wand and select all the elements buy hand or select the whole layer outside the graphic and invert it. I missing something? Thanks!

  You can now select more than one layer at a time… Cmd+Click on multiple names to select more than one layer
