Ok their is something really bothering me. I'm using photoshop 7 don't ask why, but I just am. My problem is I can't select more then 1 layer at a time. I've tried Ctrl + Layer Name. But it only puts a marquee square around the layer. If anybody is using photoshop 7 can you please help me with this problem because this is really starting to annoy me Hope someone can reply asap!

Are you talking about clicking the "link" icon on a layer?

No I mean when you select the layer you can only select a layer one at a time. I want to know how to select a layer more then once. Like selecting 2 layers instead of one.

I just tried Jaymz way in photoshop and it worked:
hold shift and ctrl keys then click on the layers you want to select in the layers palette.

How I tried it out:
new document 500x500
made new layer, used rectangle marquee tool drew a square filled it with grey
made a new layer, used rectangle marquee tool drew a square on the other side of document, filled it with black.
Deselcted all (ctrl+D)

Then held shift, then ctrl, clicked on the first layer, it selected the first square, clicked the second layer (still holding down the buttons) it selected the second square still having the first selected as well. (Selection ants going around both squares)

Hopefully that helps some, if not perhaps somethings wrong with your keyboard shortcuts?
Anyways good-luck in this

[WoWscape]

Weird then their something must be wrong with my shortcut keys. Anyway is their a way to fix this

[raenef]

Hmmm I flipped through the shortcut keys options and I dont really see anything related to this so maybe thats not it? Im not 100% sure.
Another way you could select more than one layer is to merge just the layers you want to select then ctrl+click that new layer.
