So many layers so little space to click....
matthew (60 pencils) | Mon, 2005-06-20 19:26Just a quick AI tip that I stumbled upon today, most might know it but I didn't so why not pass it on?
Everything within a layer is its own object, and if say, you have an outline shadow of text that is two layers down that a customer just wants to make a quick color change to....You don't want to have to dig through ALL the objects in said layer. Just select any object within that layer (the one closest to the object you are trying to get to would be best.) and use CMD+OPT+[ or ] to scroll quickly through them.
Edit: ..... :)

Thanks! I didn't know this one either.
That's a very long sentence, and a very useful tip!
It is not irritating to be where one is
It is only irritating to wish
One was somewhere else
Thanks! I love the many different ways to accomplish the same thing. It makes the workflow so tailored to each individual style.
I will stow this away in the ol' noggen.
With Photoshop you could use option [ or option ] to cycle through layers. Using Cmd [ or Cmd ] to move layers up or down a level.
Thanks for the AI tip, didn't know that one.
Glad you liked the tip.
I've already put it to good use :)
