3.2. OPTIONAL What Are Layers
(资料图片)
P19 - 00:03
Welcome. In this lecture, i'll explain what layers are and why they're useful in photoshop. If you already understand this subject, feel Free to skip to the next lecture as this is oriented towards beginners. To help you understand this concept, i've opened up this PSD that you have attached to this lecture.
P19 - 00:17打开课程相关的PSD。
You can think of layers as transparent pieces of paper that stack on Top of each other. Each layer is an opportunity to create something new.
P19 - 00:26一沓堆放的纸，每张写入新的。
If you look at this project, you can see we have several layers In this panel. We have a background where the frame all this text and so on.
P19 - 00:35面板上有不同图层。
When you look at the project from this perspective, all these individual pieces of transparent paper are stacked on Top of each other.
P19 - 00:42一层层罗在表面的。
So what you end up with is a canvas that looks like a flat image.
P19 - 00:46最后体现成平面图像。
If I were to hide these layers panel, would you be able to tell how many components this project has? Of course not.
P19 - 00:52隐藏图层面板，不用了解多少层。
It looks like one single image, but if we open up this other PSD, we can see the true story.
P19 - 01:00打开另一个PSD来讲解内容。
Here I illustrated how this project would look if you were to see it from the side.
P19 - 01:04从侧面看到的，去分析该原理。
This perspective shows us the truth. Each individual piece of paper, meaning each layer has something different on it.
P19 - 01:11每层有不同内容。
This first one shows the background. The next contains the frame.
P19 - 01:16第一背景，第二画框。
The 3rd one showcase is the piece of paper, and so on. When you bring them close together,
P19 - 01:22第三一页纸，叠放在一起。
you can see the end result is very similar to what we see in our other tab.
P19 - 01:26结果和在其它标签看到类似。
Let's go back to it. You may be wondering why the trouble? Well, let's get the brush tool by pressing b.
P19 - 01:33B讲述问题在哪里？
If you're not sure you've got it, go to your tool bar, click and hold, and you'll activate it.
P19 - 01:39B/激活左侧刷子工具栏。
Now with white as my foreground color, i'll start to paint on the background there. You can tell it's selected because photoshop highlights it.
P19 - 01:46背景绘制，被高光的图层。
As you can see, nothing happens with my frame or anything else.
P19 - 01:50刷子影响背景不影响画框。
And that's because even though this looks like a solid image, it's actually composed out of several layers,
P19 - 01:56因为那是另一个图层的。
because I have my background where selected It. My change is going to affect it and only it.
P19 - 02:02选背景图层只影响该图层。
press CTRL z to undo. If I switch to the paper layer and I repeat my brushing, you'll see it seems like my woodland was compromised, but that's not the case.
P19 - 02:11Z控重做，纸片图层绘制。
If we switch to the move tool by pressing v,
P19 - 02:15v移动工具。
we can see it's safe and sound.
P19 - 02:17v移动纸面内容笔刷一起动。
It seems like it was affected because each layer is transparent.
P19 - 02:22画框看似被影响，图层透明的。
Photoshop works this way from CS three. And the reason is simple.
P19 - 02:25CS3开始这样做。原因简单。
It gives you more freedom. If you slave away for hours on end to create this perfect background, you don't want it ruined by a slip up.
P19 - 02:33不因为埋头苦干选错图层白干。
So instead of risking all your work, you create a new layer that will sit on Top of your existing project. And you can continue without worry.
P19 - 02:41习惯性创建新图层做修改。
This gives you a lot of flexibility, because you can isolate each element,
P19 - 02:45而且可以隔开不同元素。
press CTRL z again to undo. how many layers you create is up to you.
P19 - 02:52创建多少层取决于自己。
And we'll talk more about that in the upcoming lectures. One important notice, before we wrap up. the order of these layers matters.
P19 - 03:00图层顺序很重要。
If I bought in this background layer above the paper,
P19 - 03:02如果背景图层在纸片上。
you'll no longer see it. Indeed, they are transparent pieces of paper. But I chose to completely fill this background layer with color, hence why it's no longer transparent.
P19 - 03:11背景色覆盖着透明色，不再透明。
So you have to be careful with your stacking order In the layers’ panel.
P19 - 03:15注意图层顺序，
we will discuss this subject in greater detail in this section. Okay? That wraps it up. I hope players are no longer a mystery to you.
P19 - 03:22图层对你不是个谜题。
Let's continue.
3.3. Start Using Layers
P20 - 00:00
Hey, guys. Let's talk about how you can work with layer effectively. Let's start with a blank canvas, and then we'll move to another tab.
P20 - 00:07新窗口新标签打开新画布。
The first thing you may want to do is delete this background. It's currently locked, but it allows partial editing.
P20 - 00:14删除掉背景，目前锁住了，
I can paint over it. I can erase parts of it, but I can't move it.
P20 - 00:17绘制 删除，就是不能移动。
Plus, maybe you want a transparent background to begin with. The command to remove a layer is the delete key on windows or the backspace key on a MAC.
P20 - 00:27删除/退回键。
You can press it, but you'll notice nothing happens. And that's because photoshop needs at least one layer In any project.
P20 - 00:33什么都没发生因PS需要一图层。
It can be an empty layer, but you can't have a project with nothing inside this panel.
P20 - 00:39不能是空图层空项目。
So let's add one from the bottom right side. This is the icon that creates a new layer. click once on a new one has just popped up.
P20 - 00:46右下倒二新建图层。
Now I can switch to this other one and delete it, even though it bears the lock icon.
P20 - 00:51删除掉另一个锁住的图层。
Great. If you don't want to move your mouse cursor all the way down, you can use the hot key CTRL shift n to create new layer.
P20 - 01:00SA控创建新图层。
This does the same thing, but it also shows you this window through which you can adjust various settings.
P20 - 01:05窗口可以调整不同设置。
My advice is to click on this small icon, since it's faster,
P20 - 01:09点击徽标效率更快。
your project should be properly organized. So let's double click its name. Now it's selected. You can write whatever you want.
P20 - 01:16双击重命名名字。
This is how you rename all layers in photoshop. What's nice is that you can give multiple layers the same title. And photoshop won't complain.
P20 - 01:24不同图层同一个名字允许的。
Please note that if you double click anywhere outside its name, you'll get this pop up window. If that's the case, press escape and try again. This usually happens if your name has very few characters.
P20 - 01:37重命名，双击弹出图层风格。
Same thing applies. If you click twice on its thumbnail,
P20 - 01:41类似，双击两次缩略图。
this isn't what you're looking for. Okay. Let's switch tabs.
P20 - 01:44切换标签。
on this lovely image. I want to add a message in this Top right corner.
P20 - 01:48图片右上角加入信息。
And that begs the question, when is it the right time to create a new layer.
P20 - 01:52创建新图层最佳时机？
bear with me, As i'll explain in a second. First i'll write something with my brush tool.
P20 - 01:57首先B笔刷绘制。
Please don't focus on the actual techniques, as the point of this lecture is to use layers effectively.
P20 - 02:02本节课专注图层用法。
Now I have this hand written message, but also adds some hearts into the mix. Nothing special. I'm just doing it here. Finally. I'll add some random lines to further embellish this area.
P20 - 02:18字体 心形 下划线。
Now I'm done, but I'm not happy. I'd like to change the colour of my hearts and have this last word written in another style.
P20 - 02:22改变心颜色，改变字体类型。
See the problem? Because I didn't create another layer. I am now stuck.
P20 - 02:25因为我没有创建另一个图层卡了。
Furthermore, I also permanently marked this image because I performed all my edits directly on it.
P20 - 02:31编辑在原图了。
That's bad practice. And you should always avoid adjustments this way.
P20 - 02:37避免原图调整。
If I try to erase my work, look what happens that does more harm.
P20 - 02:40尝试擦出掉草稿，暴露透明版。
Press f 12 to revert back to the original project.
P20 - 02:44F12撤销编辑恢复原图。
Here’s how you should approach things. first. It's best you have an idea about what you want to do. You don't need to be precise, but you should have at least a general direction in mind.
P20 - 02:54头脑中大概想要做什么。
Based on that, you can make some key decisions regarding when it's best to create a new layer.
P20 - 02:59建立图层的关键决策。
I'll do that now.And i'll write my message.
P20 - 03:02创建新图层，写信息。
I have my first part done, but i'll create a new one for the last word.
P20 - 03:13最后字改了内容。
Notice something here. It all depends on what I want to do. If I wanted ultra flexibility, I could have placed each word on its own layer.
P20 - 03:20还可以一个单词一个图层，灵活。
I consider that overkill. But if you do want maximum flexibility, then feel Free to do that.
P20 - 03:26没必要过于注重技巧。
Also, in case I didn't want to change the colour of this last part, I could have left everything on one single layer.
P20 - 03:31可以把一切放在一个图层。
So nobody can give you a specific definitive guide on when it's best to create a new one.
P20 - 03:37没有明确的指南告诉创建图层。
It depends on what you want to do and how much freedom you want to have in your project.
P20 - 03:41取决于你在工程里想要的自由度。
For my three hearts, i'll definitely add them on a different layer.
P20 - 03:45三个心形在三个不同图层。
In general, separate components should be placed on different layers.
P20 - 03:50一般而言，不同合成不同图层上。
This is obviously another element that is not directly connected to my handwriting.
P20 - 03:53另外和手写无关的元素。
So it makes sense. We put it on its own layer. Again, a question. Do I want them to be treated as a whole?
P20 - 04:00问题一要不要整体对待？
Or do I want to style them individually?
P20 - 04:02还是分别风格化？
If you ask yourself these types of questions, things will go much smoother.
P20 - 04:06问清楚为什么，进展顺利了。
Let's go with the latter option. I want to edit them later, but not as a whole.
P20 - 04:12可以稍后编辑，不作为整体。
Thus I will create three different layers. Please note this highlight.
P20 - 04:17我创建三个不同图层，其一高亮。
This shows you your active layer. When it's time to move to a new one, simply click on it, and you'll see that that layer is now highlighted.
P20 - 04:26点击-换选中的新图层。
This means your drawings won't interfere with each other. Please take a moment and rename all layers.
P20 - 04:30双击，重命名各图层。
Finally, i'll create one last prayer for my squiggle lines.
P20 - 04:37最后图层给乱画线条的。
This is a bit random, but it does make my point. Now, through various techniques, I can adjust my work without affecting everything else.
P20 - 04:47单独图层不会影响其它图层。
I can change this hot color, but nothing is happening with the other tool. perfect.
P20 - 04:54改变心颜色，其它图层没改变。
I can erase this last word and write something different.
P20 - 04:57可以擦掉字母内容，写入不同的。
This is how you should work with your layers.
P20 - 04:59这是和图层合作方式。
Use them to gain as much freedom and flexibility as you want.
P20 - 05:03自由和灵活的改写。
One piece of advice is never leave your layers on end. If you want to let every component individually, then please take the time to rename them. If you don't do that, you'll be in a world of trouble.
P20 - 05:15分开图层一定分开命名。
Now that we have a few layers in our project, it's time we talk about another concept groups.
P20 - 05:21探讨其它概念组。
If you think about your operating system, when you install a new program, you create a folder for it.
P20 - 05:27新项目对于新文件夹。
That's because all those files go together and you don't wanna miss placed.
P20 - 05:30所有项目不希望被混淆。
It's the same thing in photoshop. These three hearts are related to each other. So let's group them.
P20 - 05:36三颗心相连，可以打组。
Here’s how I recommend you do that. You hold down the CTRL or command key, and you click on their names.
P20 - 05:43名字选择控。
Once they are all selected, press CTRL g. Now you've just created your first folder.
P20 - 05:49G控，打组。
Don't worry. Your layers haven't been deleted. They've been moved inside this group.
P20 - 05:54消失图层没被删除，组里。
If you click on this arrow, you'll see they're safe and sound.
P20 - 05:57打开组箭头，可以看到内容。
Ctrl g is easy to remember because g stands for group.
P20 - 06:01G代表组。
If you want to get rid of it, you shouldn't use delete, because that will trash these layers as well.
P20 - 06:06删掉组，删掉里面图层。
Instead, you should right click it. And this list will appear. Hit ungroup layers, and you're good to go.
P20 - 06:13右键，选择接触组。
And it's the same story with groups. You create as many as you want. In general, you should have at least two layers inside. Otherwise it doesn't make much sense.
P20 - 06:22组里至少两个图层。
But here's what you can do. Create a group for these hearts. Please rename it. Now select everything except for the background and group again.
P20 - 06:32选择剔除背景图层再打组。
Now you have a folder inside a folder, and you can continue with that line.
P20 - 06:37文件里面套文件。
But i'd say more than three levels will slow you down rather than help you.
P20 - 06:42但是三层帮助，多了就拖后腿。
These are called nested groups, as you can imagine. By having everything together. It's very easy to reposition them, to edit them in all sorts of ways.
P20 - 06:50网巢图层容易定位的。
It just makes your life easier. Just look at how simple it is to play around with my entire composition. Grouping layers is an essential part of getting the most out of your project.
P20 - 07:00打组是大篇幅的工程。
Ok, that concludes this lecture. Go ahead and open the PSD and have some fun with it.
3.4. Use the Layers Panel
P21 - 00:01
Hi, the layers panel is essential for any project in photoshop. Let me show you a few things that will dramatically improve your workflow.
P21 - 00:07改善工作流的技巧。
We already talked about creating layers and groups. So let's dig a little deeper.
P21 - 00:12创建图层和组，再次深挖。
So you're not familiar with this project. And you want to know what's inside these three folders.
P21 - 00:17如果你想知道3组里面是什么。
You could do it manually. But what if this project had 50 fold well down. here's my tip.
P21 - 00:23大量图层不适合手动点开。
Before you click on any closed group, hold down control, and it will expand them simultaneously.
P21 - 00:29点控，自动展开。
As you see, all three have now opened up. But notice there are two other folders here that are still closed.
P21 - 00:36仍旧两个文件夹关闭的。
That's because this command only works on first level groups.
P21 - 00:40控用于一级组。
Still, it's a neat trick, and it works the other way around. Hold control again, and this will collapse all three.
P21 - 00:47控再点，折叠。
easy stuff. If you really want to expand everything. Here is how you do it.
P21 - 00:52展开初级次级所有组。
Hold CTRL and ALT while you click. Now those level two groups are opened as well.
P21 - 00:57A点控，都展开了。
Use the same command to collapse them.
P21 - 01:01同样方式折叠。
Another interesting feature in our last panel is this eye symbol. This controls the layers of visibility.
P21 - 01:08眼睛徽标-可见度。
Say I only want to work on the wright flyer on the left one is distracting me.
P21 - 01:11比如想用右侧，关闭左侧。
Not a problem. Simply click on the folder eye icon and it will disappear.
P21 - 01:15关闭眼睛徽标，消失。
It's not deleted it. its hidden.
P21 - 01:19被隐藏非删除。
Notice all the layers inside this group have great out icons on their left side.
P21 - 01:23所有图层左侧都有眼睛徽标。
That's because you can't make a lot of visible. if it's inside a hidden folder.
P21 - 01:28隐藏是不可见的。
And that makes sense. Look at what happens if I try to enable the visibility of the first layer inside this folder. This will activate the eye icon for the group, because photoshop understands I want to work on it.
P21 - 01:41准备工作状态眼睛可以选的。
That's something to be aware of.moving forward. You can toggle any layers visibility.
P21 - 01:48每个图层可以开关可见度。
What's nice is that you can hold down your left mouse click and scroll up or down.
P21 - 01:52左侧鼠标往下滑。
This is how you can easily hide a bunch of layers with little to no effort.
P21 - 01:56替代一个个点关闭眼睛。
The same thing applies vice versa. If you want to reveal them,
P21 - 01:58点亮眼睛按左键上滑。
but say your project is huge. Maybe it has hundreds of layers. How can you hide everything except one particular layer or folder?
P21 - 02:07如何以藏除外一个文件的群文件。
Well, here's the trick. Hold down ALT or option and click on the layer or folder. You want to remain visible.
P21 - 02:14A/选项+点击保持可见的。
And there you go. Everything is now hidden. And if you click again, everything will be revealed.
P21 - 02:20选项点击，隐藏的被展示出来。
I know this is a lot of Information, but don't worry. I've created a nice cheat sheet. You can check it out anytime you want to refresh your memory.
P21 - 02:28有列表协助记忆。
Let's continue with another useful piece of Information. Some layers go together more than others.
P21 - 02:35有的图层协作关系。
For example, if I disable this Top one, we can see the following texture base and shadow base.
P21 - 02:41材质 光影基底。
A friendly reminder, please disable the auto select feature. If you haven't done so already,
P21 - 02:46关闭自动选择的功能。
activate the move tool and focus on the Top left side of the screen specifically on the action bar. Make sure the box is unchecked.
P21 - 02:53选中工具，顶部不选“自动选”。
Otherwise you will have a different experience. If I move each of them to the side, we can see that form one important component on my canvas.
P21 - 03:00屏幕上移动可以看到合成。
We could group them together. But here's an alternative.
P21 - 03:06可以打组在一起，这里是选项。
We can create a link between them by using a command from our layers panel.
P21 - 03:09控制键联系在一起。
I’ll select all three of them. And i'll focus on the bottom of this panel.
P21 - 03:14选中3个专注面板底部的。
This very first icon, this chain represents the command link layers.
P21 - 03:20无限循环键代表控链图层。
One side click it. You'll notice the same icon has appeared next to each layer.
P21 - 03:24一旦选中，图层右侧有同样标记。
Now I can select only one layer, say the base, and I can move it to the side and all the other ones should follow suit.
P21 - 03:31移动其中一褶，另一个跟随。
Oops, we have a problem. It seems there was another element that was related to this component.
P21 - 03:37另一个元素和合成相关。
It's this folder called texture shadow. Not a problem. I'll selected along with any one of these three layers. I don't need to get all four together.
P21 - 03:46选中其中三个，不用全部选中。
If you select one layer that is already linked,
P21 - 03:50如果你选择关联的图层。
that's going to be enough to create the connection between all four. Great.
P21 - 03:52足够在4个创建链接。
Let’s try this again. Yup, perfect. They all move together.
P21 - 03:59再尝试，4页纸张可以齐步走了。
If you want to unlink a certain layer, just right click it.
P21 - 04:02取消链接。
from this list. Look for unlink layer. Now, this is independent, but the other one is still connected.
P21 - 04:09其中一解除链接，另一依旧链接。
If you want to break that chain, select them all and click on this icon at the bottom of the layers panel.
P21 - 04:15都选择，右下角链接徽标全解除。
Finally, I want to show you a few ways to duplicate any layer group. The method I use most is through the hockey control j.
P21 - 04:24J控复制图层和/或组。
Let's test it out on this Top group. Ok. New folders appeared, and it's called left fly a copy.
P21 - 04:30第一个副本生成了。
I'll move it on the campus so you can see it better.
P21 - 04:33移动画布你可以看到两个副本。
Let me apply the same command CTRL j on any layer.
P21 - 04:37任何图层J控。
There you go. Here it is. Okay. Let's delete. So I can show you another option.
P21 - 04:42删除掉，展示另一个方案。
Hold down your ALT key and drag this group anywhere in your layers panel. Wherever you release. That's where photoshop will create a duplicate. Here it is.
P21 - 04:52A拖拽图层之处为副本。
The great thing about this option is that you can perform it on the canvas as well. Select one layer where you want to copy, say this one. Now in your work area, I will hold alt and drag. this way. I'm hitting two birds with one stone. I am replicating this layer, but I'm also repositioning it.
P21 - 05:10画布拖拽复制➕改位置。
Let go of your mouse click. And that's it. Feel Free to test it out.
P21 - 05:15松开鼠标，测试该方法。
The last option, the 1 I discourage is you right click inside the layers panel. from this list, choose duplicate layer. A new window will appear asking you for the new layers name as well as its location, meaning inside the document or in a new one. hit okay and it does the same thing.
P21 - 05:32右击复制图层，对话框选位置。
My advice is you stick with CTRL j or the old drag technique.
P21 - 05:39J控和/或拖拽。
Okay. This wraps up this lecture, but stay tuned for the next one, because it is closely related to this subject.
3.5. Select Layers
P22 - 00:01
Welcome. A large part of your time is going to be spent on selecting layers. I'm here to help you better understand this process and improve it with some essential tips.
P22 - 00:08传授一些技巧。
The canvas and the layers panel are permanently connected. They are not two separate areas, even though they might seem like it.
P22 - 00:16画布图层看似分离实际上不分家。
When you select a layer or a group in one location, that's mirrored on the other side.
P22 - 00:20选中一个图层画布，另一个镜像。
So for your work, there is no distinction between selecting something on the canvas or in the layers panel.
P22 - 00:26选择画布和图层的没区别。
That's because it's the same thing. The approach may be different as you are about to see. But there's never the question decrease selected from the canvas or the layers panel. And that's because it does the same thing. How you want to do it is up to you.
P22 - 00:40从画布还是图层选择取决于你。
So let me show you some great options regarding selecting layers and groups.
P22 - 00:45展示选择图层和组的选项。
First, we'll cover the layers panel. If you click on anything here, that's going to be selected. I have my move to active. So that means I can move it around.
P22 - 00:54可以移动选择图层，画布可移动。
I can switch to another group, say the eye glasses.
P22 - 00:59比如拖动字到拖动眼睛。
And now I can work on that. simple stuff. If I want to select several items in my layers panel, I can hold down the control key. Now as I click, all these folders are highlighted, which means they are selected.
P22 - 01:11同层控，同时选择。
moving over the canvas. I can click and drag and you can see there floating about.
P22 - 01:15拖拽后选择漂浮。
Always undo with CTRL z. That's something i'll constantly mentioned.
P22 - 01:20Z控重做。
The project is huge. I can select all these layers and folders with CTRL ALT A.
P22 - 01:26Alt A控全选图层。
Now, as you see, everything is highlighted. In general, this isn't going to be useful. But here's the twist.
P22 - 01:33并不是很有用，这里可以调节的。
Now I can hold CTRL and I can deselect some specific groups.
P22 - 01:37控去选择一些图层。
So I can delete these or do whatever I want with them. And I'm going to be left with the unselected ones. Great stuff.
P22 - 01:42删除掉或者保留选择的组。
Now, if you have a bunch of items selected and you don't want that anymore, there are two main options.
P22 - 01:50比如选择一堆不再需要，两选择。
You want click somewhere else in the layers panel, specifically this empty region at the bottom.
P22 - 01:54比如选择底部空白区域。
Now nothing is highlighted. Let me select some more. So I can show you the alternative.
P22 - 02:00选择更多，体现出可选性。
What do I do in my everyday work is I click on any random group or layer, without any modifier key and I'm done.
P22 - 02:08比如选择图层做些修饰。
That's because you lose all those selected groups. If you click on one individual layer or folder without holding down your control key,

P22 - 03:24alt方括号选中图层。
Same on the text layer. If I hold ALT and tap my left bracket key, the highlight will move to the folder underneath.

In all the photoshop versions, the group expanded. But that's not the case here. In this latest edition.
P22 - 03:37组拓展不是最新版本的 案例。
If I press again, i'll now select the first layer from this group. So that's alt combined with the square bracket keys.
P22 - 03:46往下翻动选择Alt左括号。
So far, we've talked about the layers panel. Now let's see how we can select layers or folders directly from the canvas.
P22 - 03:52从画布如何选择图层和文件。
In general. This is how I advise you to work. This is a considerably large PSD.
P22 - 03:59这是相当大的PSD文件。
If I want to select this particular heart necklace thing, I have to drill through four different groups,
P22 - 04:03画布项链心，图层四组。
I want to avoid all that trouble. Here's what you can do. Make sure you are on the move tool. Next, hold CTRL and click on it directly on the canvas.
P22 - 04:13移动工具控+点击画布。
Notice it's now selected in the layers panel, and you can now identify its folder. This is how you should work most of the time. Keep your mouse on the canvas and use the control key to quickly select this or that layer.
P22 - 04:27控点击画布等于选中图层。
In case you're having a different experience, you may want to look at your options bar here. by default In this newest release, you have auto select turned on. That means every time you click on anything on the canvas that becomes selected.
P22 - 04:41自动选择勾选，画布选中对图层。
So this eliminates the need for the control key. It may sound helpful, but I know very few professionals that use this option. That's because it does more harm than good.
P22 - 04:49但是很少有人用，弊大于利。
my advice un check it if you have it activated. This dropdown also allows us to modify its behavior. Here. I have it set to layer. This means that if I click anywhere, photoshop will show me exactly that specific layer.
P22 - 05:04下拉菜单有选项图层的。
If I change it to a group, even though auto is selected unchecked, it will still work.
P22 - 05:11下拉菜单选择组，不勾选也奏效。
Please note that I'm trying to select this hot folder. I'll click on it. But if you look at the layers panel, you'll see photoshop select the objects here group instead.
P22 - 05:20图层面板中PS选择项目组。
That's because this command only looks at Top level folders.
P22 - 05:25控只看顶部图层。
Our heart is nested inside. It's a level two group. So photoshop doesn't allow me to target it with the control click technique.
P22 - 05:32PS不允许控点技术。
For that reason, I suggest you switch back to layer.
P22 - 05:35还是建议下拉菜单切换回到图层。
Now, if everything is closed and I click it, I will be able to quickly identify its folder. Still on selecting layers from the canvas. I have one easy technique that's foolproof.
P22 - 05:46还有一个方案证据确凿。
You hover over your layer and you right click it. The indented items are layers, while these two are folders.
P22 - 05:54两个图层，两个文件夹。
In general, I don't recommend this option. And let me show you why.
P22 - 05:58不推荐该选项的原因。
If we right click over the perfume, look at this list. Even if you label your letters correctly, this is still a challenge.
P22 - 06:04香水右键选择也是挑战。
Finally, even though we haven't covered locking layers, i'll do the following.
P22 - 06:10未覆盖的图层，选择附属的。
I'll click on the background folder, and i'll lock it by using this icon. Now while I'm holding down the CTRL key. I’ll dragging across my canvas. And anything inside this shape will get selected.
P22 - 06:21拖拽控，画布内侧的都被选中。
I'm not letting go. So you can see how a bunch of layers and folders are lighting up in the layers panel.
P22 - 06:28可以看到图层面板选中了多少。
as I select other areas. This is reflected in this panel. This is helpful when you have tons of layers scattered everywhere.
P22 - 06:35如果图层散落到出都是，用这法。
