Is it possible to select all visible layers in Photoshop, perhaps using a script? I see no way to do so in the Photoshop menu items.

Set the Layers Panel to sort based on Attributes and then set the second drop down to Visible.
Before:
After
You can then shift-click to highlight the layers if needed.

Well, it's only been possible the last couple years @JohnManly :) Requires CC+ I believe.– ScottCommented Apr 28, 2015 at 18:35

I have CC. I'm a bit of a stubborn old man (mentally anyway) so don't explore the new features much. I guess I should. Thanks for the idea!– ManlyCommented Apr 28, 2015 at 18:37

I overlook those Layers panel features all the time! I can confirm it works on CS6 too. Many thanks, this will do the trick. I was looking for an easy way to select all visible layers so I could then color-code them.– George CCommented Apr 29, 2015 at 23:37
