GROUPING MULTIPLE LAYERS IN A LAYER GROUP

September 15, 2011 by Corey Barker Tip of the Day 1 Comment

Layer groups are a great way to collect multiple layers into one set and manipulate them. Rather than creating one set and dragging all of the layers into the set, select all of the layers first. Once the layers are selected, press-and-hold the Shift key and click on the Create a New Group icon at the bottom of the Layers panel.

  1. I love these quick tips. I have something to add to this great one. After selecting all the layers, you can also click on Cmd/Ctrl>’G’ and they will be grouped together.

    Thank you for another good tip.
