CHAPTER 8

Do one of the following:

In the Layers palette, click a layer to make 

it active.

Select the move tool, right-click (Windows) or 

Control-click (Mac OS) in the image, and choose 
the layer you want from the context menu. The 
context menu lists all the layers that contain pixels 
under the current pointer location.

You can also select layers interactively as you use 
the move tool. If Auto Select Layer is selected in the 
Move tool options, the topmost layer containing 
pixels under the cursor will be selected. (See 
“Moving selections and layers within an image” on 
page 110.)

With the Layers palette, you can control whether a 
layer is visible, whether a preview or thumbnail of 
its contents is displayed, and also how trans-
parency is displayed. Turning off thumbnails or 
reducing their size can save space in the Layers 
palette, and reduce memory usage.

Do one of the following:

In the Layers palette, click the eye icon next to a 

layer to hide that layer. Click in the column again 
to redisplay the layer. 

Drag through the eye column to show or hide 

multiple layers.

Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) 

the eye icon for a layer to display just that layer. 
Alt/Option-click in the eye column again to 
redisplay all the layers. 

Choose Palette Options from the Layers 

palette menu.

Select a size or select None to turn off the 

thumbnails, and then click OK.
