Normally I would do these steps to achieve the image above:
1) Click 'A' from the Layers window.
2) Find 'B' from the Layers window, but not click it.
3) Cmd+Click 'B' from the Layers window to make a selection of ‘B’.
But once you accumulate 100+ layers, 2) & 3) becomes inconvenient because you have to relocate 'A' and click in the Layers window.
Is there a way to perform 3) straight from the Canvas with 'A' clicked in the Layers window?
Cmd+Alt+Right-click
, 2. run the script, 3. select layer A in the canvas withCmd+Alt+Right-click
. And the non script version of this is to do step 2 from a PS Action or by manually doing it in the Layers panel. – Joonas Feb 19 '20 at 13:27
