Can't select multiple layers with shift/ctrl in Photoshop CC

I honestly can't find a damn thing about this in google searches, other than one poor soul who had the problem on PS5 years ago and just reset their preferences to fix it.  None of my more experienced artist co-workers have any idea either..  Well I've tried resetting prefs, restarting photoshop, rebooting PC, and finally reinstalling photoshop.
I'm on a corporate CC account with my own login, I got a photoshop update that happened yesterday, in the middle of all this.  I was hoping that might fix it, but no.  I tried signing out of the CC account and signing back in, still nothing.  I"m out of ideas.
If I create a new PSD, and create multiple empty layers, I still can't multi-select the layers.  I can only ever select a single layer at a time.  What else can I possibly be missing? 

Here it is, hopefully this doesn't reveal too much personal info!

  • Can't select multiple items with shift key os 10.7

    I can use command A to select all, and I can select multiple items with command and individually clicking each one, but not using Shift and clicking on the first and last items.  Any ideas?

    You need to display the window in column or list view. Shift-clicking items won't do that in icon view.

  • Can't select multiple layers

    This sounds very obvious, I know.
    But! I have lost the ability to select multiple layers. Shift, Command, Control Click. Nothing works. I can't select them with the selection box like I used to either. There must be a setting or something that I accidentally clicked? If I can't select multiple layers I basically can't do anything including grouping or linking or merging layers in additon to a bunch of other stuff that is crutial!
    This is driving me batty.
    Thanks in advance.

    To supplement this it might also be a conflict with a third party software as well.
    If the keyboard tmethsd of resetting the preferences doesn't work then
    1. Quit Photoshop
    2.Go to User/username/Library/Preferences/ Adobe Photoshop CS4 Settings and trash the settings folder, the whole folder not just the contents of the folder..
    3. Start Photoshop. Photoshop creates a new preferences file.
    Also if you recently updated your system there might be a conflict with the systems key board shortcuts, Like Spotlight, Universal access, dashboard and Exposé or asI said before it could be something like Quicken.
    Have you installed anything lately.

  • Selecting Multiple Files With Shift Key

    Am I right in understanding that the only way to select multiple files with the Shift key in Finder is by using File view? Seems kinda silly.
    Thank you, Scott

    I'm at my Snow Leopard machine right now, and I'm not sure that nothing was changed in Mavericks, but I never noticed that it was.
    I have four view modes: Icon, List, Column and CoverFlow.
    I almost always use Column view, but I am guessing that you are calling Icon view File view. In Icon view, Shift clicking seems to work the way Command clicking does in Column view (and probably the other views as well): it allows you to add randomly selected files to the selection. In Column view, Shift clicking works like it does for most things (like text selection); it selects every thing between the previous click and the Shift click.

  • Pages '09: Can't select multiple objects with mouse?

    Hello! I want to select some shapes. I know that I can hold down shift and click on them individually one by one, but they're very many and grouped together, so I just want to draw a 'selection-rectangle' with the mouse, just as it works in all other programs I've ever used. But this doesn't seem to work. What am I doing wrong?

    Hello Stef,
    You can simply click and drag over an area to select multiple objects if you are in a Page Layout document, but since this is your fourth post you may be new to Pages and you may not yet even be aware of the Page Layout mode. At the top of your Pages window is the document title and next to the title in parentheses are the words "Word Processing" or "Page Layout".
    So, in a Word Processing document, it's just a little bit more involved. In the upper left corner of the window, click on the View icon and select "Show Layout". You will see gray around the edges - your desktop, a white sheet - your paper, and three rectangular outlines - the header field, the text frame and the footer field. This assumes that you have the Header and Footer turned on.
    As you move your mouse, the text insertion bar, a vertical line with curved features top and bottom, will move about the document. Move the insertion bar to the margin, outside of the boxes, and press and hold the COMMAND key. Your cursor will change to an arrowhead. Now you can select multiple objects by click-dragging, just as you are accustomed to doing in other applications.
    Regards,
    Jerry

  • How can I select multiple people when filtering media using Photoshop Premier Elements Organizer 11?

    I noticed that in using Photoshop Premier Elements Organizer V10, I was able to select more than a single person when filtering media. For example, I may want to find all of my photos that have me with my cousin, John as well as my friend Norm in them.   With Photoshop Priemier Elements Organizer 11, I can only filter on a single person or filter on a group of individuals.  Using a group does not always match the specific filter that I am looking for.  Was this an oversight in the new version?
    (By the way, this feature is also missing with "Places" as well...  For example, I would like to be able to select Austria, Switzerland, and Germany media when adding an Event for my "Trip to the Alps".  I can only select one country at a time.)
    Any suggestions?  Can we get this feature back?

    Have you opened up the Filter menu, which opens along the top of the Organizer's Media Browser?
    With it, you simply check the filters you want to apply, and the Media Browser will show you all media clips to which those filters applies.

  • Selecting multiple layers and merge

    is it possible to select multiple layers (with layermask) and merge them?
    tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS6"
        tell current document
            set current layer to every layer of layer set "bloem 1-9" of layer set "Bloem"
            tell current layer
                merge
            end tell
        end tell
    end tell

    Yes, for that you have to select the layers that are in the set. Here is one way using javascript
    function selectLayerBelow( add ){
        var desc = new ActionDescriptor();

  • Selecting multiple files with mouse now wonky

    Using Windows 8.1 on HP machine
    All updates up-to-date
    Hardware: Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 3.0
    Explorer Folder Option selected: Single-click to open an item (point to select); Underline icon titles only when I point on them
    Display: Detail list (Ctrl + Shift + 6)
    No touch input
    Here's the problem: For as long as I have used windows, I can select multiple files by pressing ctrl-left mouse button. If I want to select multiple consecutive files, I move my cursor down to the last file in the list and press shift-left mouse button.
    If I want to select multiple files that are not listed consecutively, I move my cursor along the list of files and press ctrl-left mouse button to select each individual file.
    This does not work for me any longer and I do not know why.
    Often I will press ctrl-left mouse click and the file will not select. When I move my mouse away from the file I've selected, it will UN-select. If I continue to press the CTRL key while attempting to select another file and float my mouse cursor down the
    list of files to select ONE single file further in the list, ALL the files in between the first file I click and the final file will become selected.
    Moving the mouse cursor carefully and steadily to select individual files yields varied results; sometimes I can select individual files; sometimes, I can click multiple times to select an additional file and the file will not become selected. More often
    than not, I will select several files and earlier files will become unselected.
    Extremely frustrating.
    I have been a Windows user since version 3.1 and this has never happened to me. I have been a Windows 8.1 user for over a year now and this is a new wrinkle. I have done system restore multiple times and it has not solved the problem. I have uninstalled
    Intellipoint/Microsoft Keyboard & Mouse center and reinstalled and the problem has not solved. I have checked every setting for my mouse in the mouse center and cannot see a setting that imposes this feature.
    Changing folder options to Double-click to open an item (single click to select) solves the problem. I am able to navigate and organize my files the way I always have. Only happens when single-click feature is enabled. Please note: I have been using the
    single-click select feature since Windows XP.
    Your guidance and actual solution to this irritant is appreciated.

    Hi,
    During my test, I cannot repro this issue even I configure the same setting with you. Maybe a hardware issue or software issue.
    Does this issue happen to other mouse?
    Can you test in safe mode to check how it works?

  • Simultaneously select multiple layers and sublayers

    Hello
    I am having to select multiple layers and their sublayers in Illustrator 2014, but taking the procedure described in the post below only lets you select multiple "main layers" with the sublayers left unselected.
    Re: Is it possible to select multiple layers by selecting first and last layers?
    Would someone please explain how both layers and sublayers can be selected in the Layers panel?
    Getting more and more confused about the layer control in Illustrator..
    Thank you in advance,
    Ead

    Ead,
    I believe it is a matter of implicit selection, which may be a bit diconcerting.
    You may try this:
    1) Create a (small) number of layers with sublayers (or use the set yopu have), and tick Paste Remembers Layers;
    2) ShiftClick first and last (relevant) and Ctrl/Cmd+C;
    3) Create a new document and Ctrl/Cmd+F.
    Is anything missing (obviously, everything copied has been selected)?

  • Can't select multiple slices at a time

    Hello,
    I'm having a bit of a technical problem. I have used my slice tool several times before with no problems whatsoever. However, I recently ran into a weird problem with my slice tool. After I slice an image up using the slice tool, I am no longer able to select mutliple slices at the same time. When I select one slice, and hold down the shift key to select another slice, the other slice is just selected alone. I reinstalled Photoshop and I also reverted back to the default settings; all to no avail. I'm currently using Photoshop 7.0.
    Anyone know how to fix this problem?
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    If i remember right, in photoshop 7, you can only select multiple slices
    using the save for web function in photoshop 7 or in Image Ready.
    I don't remember be able to select multiple slices in photoshop 7 proper
    outside the save for web dialog.

  • Selecting multiple layers in Fireworks CS4

    When I want to select multiple layers/sublayers I shift click (windows) on the layers that I want to select or control click. The problem I am having is when I do this, there are layers being selected that I do not want to select. It seems to do this automatically. What can I be doing wrong?
    Thanks,
    LT

    That little button indicates that at least some content on that layer 
    has been selected.  Another limitation is that if you chose to copy 
    all that content, Fireworks would not include the sub layers  (or 
    layers) themselves when pasting. It would just group everything into a 
    single layer.  Not very good, if you ask me. That's the behavior on my 
    Mac anyway. I'd need to check my PC to see if it's consistent.
    In short, I don't think it's anything you are doing wrong.

  • How can I return multiple values with PL/SQL Web Services

    Hi,
    I'm new to developping Web Services. I'm doing some tests with JDeveloper and OC4J on my local machine with a Web Services based on a PL/SQL function within a package. Right now that function only returns one value. So the xml response only has one output.
    I'd like to know how can I return multiple values with my PL/SQL Web Service. For example, if I want to return an employee's name and id? And that the xml contains two output : <employee>, <empid>?
    Reginald
    ps : I have searched the forum and I couldn't find an answer to this question, if that has been discussed AND answered before, can you please post the link? Thanks

    Alright, I actually found my answer. Since this was asked I think as a followup somewhere else I'll give my answer.
    It is very simple, all you have to do is create an Object Type and then Return that object type. After that, JDeveloper will take care of everything and you will have an xml response with multiple values. Here
    {color:#ff0000}
    create or replace TYPE person AS OBJECT
    ( id_interv number,
    first_name VARCHAR2(50),
    last_name VARCHAR2(50),
    date_birth date
    );{color}
    Then your function used in your Web Service should look something like this :
    {color:#ff0000}
    function info_emp (p_empno IN VARCHAR2) RETURN person AS
    l_emp person := person(-1,'','','');
    BEGIN
    SELECT first_name
    ,last_name
    ,emp_no
    INTO l_emp.first_name
    ,l_emp.last_name
    ,l_emp.emp_no
    FROM emp
    WHERE upper(emp_no) = upper (emp_no);
    {color}
    {color:#ff0000}
    RETURN l_emp;
    EXCEPTION WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
    l_emp := person (-1,'n/a','n/a','n/a');
    RETURN l_emp ;
    END info_emp;{color}
    {color:#ff0000}{color:#000000}After that, this is what the xml response looks like :{color}{color}
    &lt;first_name xsi:type="xsd:string"&gt;John&lt;/first_name&gt;
    &lt;last_name xsi:type="xsd:string"&gt;Doe&lt;/last_name&gt;
    &lt;emp_no xsi:type="xsd:string"&gt;0250193&lt;/emp_no&gt;

  • How can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

    how can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

    You do not want to edit material from different frame rates on one timeline. You CAN do this, but it is a very bad idea - and this is why.
    Once you establish the sequence frame rate - lets say it is PAL material at 25fps, any material that you drop into the sequence other than 25 fps will have to be changed to play at 25 fps. If the material you add is NTSC (29.97), FCP will DROP 5 frames per sec to bring the frame rate down to 25 fps. Which 5 get thrown away? Every 6th one. This yields a funky cadence that becomes even more complex as as there are also interlaced fields (DV/NTSC is an interlaced format). Oh, and by the way, the image sizes are different as well. DV/PAL has 576 lines of resolution and DV/NTSC has 480. FCP has to scale up the NTSC to fit the PAL frame.
    You do not want FCP adjusting these things on the fly. You want to do a thoughtful (and time consuming) conversion so that you end up with all your material in one format with the best possible image from the conversion process. Compressor can do an adequate job with Frame Controls turned on. The Natress Standards Conversion FCP plugin is another way to go. A third option is to find a post house that can do the conversion for you using a hardware based process.
    The good news is, once everything is in the same format, editing it will be painless and the output process very quick.
    Whatever frame rate/ image size you select, I'd suggest using ProRes for the codec. It is 4:2:2 color and will withstand color correction and composting with much more grace than any variant of DV based codecs.
    Have fun.
