them. (See “Selecting layers” on page 399 and “To group and ungroup layers” on page 400.)

ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS2

User Guide

What’s changed

If you've worked with a previous version of Photoshop, you'll find that some things work a little differently in

Photoshop CS2.

Layer grouping You can group layers using the keyboard shortcut Control+G (Windows) or Command+G

(Mac OS). The shortcut for creating a clipping mask is now Control+Alt+G (Windows) or Command+Option+G

(Mac OS).

Layer linking and multiple layer selection Working with multiple layers is easier now because you can select

multiple layers in the Layers palette or in the document window using the Move tool. The layer linking column was

removed. To link layers, select multiple layers and click the link icon at the bottom of the Layers palette. Some menu

commands that work on linked layers have been changed to work on multiple layers.

To add or subtract layers from a selection in the Layers palette, Shift-click (or drag) in the document with the Move

tool, with the Auto Select Layer option selected. Previously, Shift-clicking linked and unlinked layers. For more infor-

mation, see

“To select layers in the Layers palette” on page 399.

Merging layers To merge all visible layers into a new layer, press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) and choose

Layer > Merge Visible. Previously you created a new layer and selected it before merging. To merge any two layers,

select them in the Layers palette and choose Layer > Merge Layers. You can still merge two adjacent layers in the

Layers palette by selecting the top layer and choosing Layer Merge Down.

Loading a selection To load a layer as a selection, Control-click (Windows) Command-click (Mac OS) the layer's

thumbnail in the Layers palette. Previously you could click anywhere in the layer.

Clipping mask visibility To hide all layers except the clipping mask layer and the layer it is clipped to, Alt-click

(Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) the layer’s visibility icon. Previously, Alt-clicking or Option-clicking hid all

layers.

File Browser AdobeBridgehandles allthe tasksthatyou previously didinthe File Browser. Flagging is nowhandled

by the star ratings. Files previously flagged are now marked with one star. In Bridge, Control+D (Windows) or

Command+D (Mac OS) now duplicates an image rather than deselecting it in the thumbnail view.

Placing a file Files that you place into Photoshop with the Place command now become Smart Objects.
