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.

2I have been using Photoshop for about 15 years now and never even thought to do this! Great trick. – Manly Apr 28 '15 at 18:33

Well, it's only been possible the last couple years @JohnManly :) Requires CC+ I believe. – Scott Apr 28 '15 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! – Manly Apr 28 '15 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 C Apr 29 '15 at 23:37
