I am using Photoshop CS5 to work with an image that will be composed of about forty separate pieces that I want to be able to move and rotate independently, something like a jigsaw puzzle.
I don't believe I can have more than one selection per layer, so I am expecting to have one layer per piece.
Is there a way that the move tool can operate on whichever selection is under the mouse pointer instead of having to switch between layers or control-clicking the selection? I really want it to behave as if all the selections are on a single layer, but with their own z-order
