There are some of those days when you just feel like you own the world because you found out something cool. And most of the times those things you just found out, are things you wonder how you couldn’t have known about.
Hiding multiple layers in Photoshop
If you are like me you probably like your graphics all nice and tidy, each on it’s own layer. Several of them grouped together in layer sets. The amount of layers can add up pretty fast if you are heavy on detail and graphics and hiding or unhiding several layers can be a timeconsuming and annoying task.
By accident i found out that you can easily hide or show several layers with only clicking once. Just click and hold on the eye icon of the first layer you want to hide and then drag down or up, over the eye icons of the other layers and they’ll automagically will hide or show too. Pretty fast and easy if you ask me.
If anybody has some of these small tips you think nobody knows about, please share them. Some of them are lifesavers!
Edit: This also works for linking layers, just click and drag on the chain icons. Thanks to Bart from Percept.be for this tip!
It works the same to link layers together. You click in the empty box next to the eye incon and a chain icon will appear to mark the layer as linked.
There you go ‘nother tip, thanks Bart
