Activity Forums Adobe Photoshop shortcut to select everything on a single layer

  • shortcut to select everything on a single layer

    Posted by Brian Norris on December 1, 2009 at 9:51 pm

    Hello, I’m currently using CS3 and I remember in CS I could select the ALT key (or maybe CTRL – cant remember) and then select a layer from the layer list and it would automatically select everything on that layer. Is there a shortcut or easy way to do this in CS3? Whenever I select a layer from the layer list it just seems to make it the active layer. Thanks in advance!

    Hi Brian,

    I’m on a Mac, but I think on a PC you would hold the Ctrl key down and click on the layer ‘Thumbnail’ (not the layer itself).
