Hi :) Does anyone know if there is a way to select individual layers on a canvas in Photoshop without having to select it in the layer window first?
I know I've done it before but I can't remember if it was in illustrator.
Tell me more

press v (shortcut for selection tool) right click the shape or paint or subject on the particular layer you are after and then select the layers name - that layer will now be active (this becomes more difficult with overlay layers but as long as you have named layers correctly you should be able to figure it out) |

|
In the move tool, just right click on any pixel in the canvas and select the layer from the pop-up context menu. |

|
|
|
Hold down the command and the control keys then click on the item. A menu of all the layers beneath your click will appear. Scroll to select the layer you are after. |
