WTF! CS2 SHORTCUTS!

[sonic]

In every version of PS before CS2, when I held down Control and clicked on a layer, it selected whatever was on the layer... and I CAN'T DO IT ANYMORE! AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT MANUALLY! DAMNIT!

Is there a way to change the shortcuts back to CS1, 8, 7, 6, etc? Or just another way to do this?

Thanks

ctrl click on the thumbnail for the layer:)

yeah, they changed the way merging works, so ctrl-clicking on a layer's text now selects the layer along with any others you click on while holding CTRL, and CTRL-E will then merge the selected layers, even if they're unlinked.

Dur has it right.

The Warp feature is a lifesaver.

while we're on photoshop, is there a way to make sure when you copy a selection and paste in a new layer or new document of the same size, that it appears in exactly the same spot? it often just centers it in the new document instead of appearing where it was, or more infuriatingly just slightly moved from where it was..

so far i've been making a dot in the top left and bottom right corners, but thats a pain to do every time

sorry for the poorly worded question, major hangover

Hmm, I'd also like to know the answer to that one - it has a tendency to be annoying...

Hah - yeah I end up doing that aswell - making small rectangular selections in all four corners, filling them then copy and pasting the entire page... would be cool if there was an easier way.

Maybe Im misunderstanding you guys but instead of copying pasting, making a new blank image the same size and shift dragging your selection into the new image window.

[MoP]

oXYnary: Yeah, that's how I usually do it, shift-dragging - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It seems fairly random.

depends on if the image is EXACTLY the same size. shift dragging should maintain the location of the selection in relationship to the image edges then...

[MoP]

Yeah, that's what I thought, Joe... but sometimes even if the images are exactly the same dimensions, it doesn't place it in the same location - maybe it's something to do with having stuff outside the image area? Cropping before dragging works, I think...

[oXYnary]

are you sure they are the same DPI then? Like when you create a blank image, are you making sure they are the same?
