: Find all PS layers that contain "something" at selected point? It feels like this should be a Photoshop feature (every point in a layer is either present or "absent", right?), but I can't seem

It feels like this should be a Photoshop feature (every point in a layer is either present or "absent", right?), but I can't seem to locate it.

Suppose I have the usual many-many layers, and they're reasonably well-organized, but I need to be sure which layer a given object occupies, without knowing the layer beforehand. How do I do this?

Ctrl(cmd on MAC) + left click on the object will select correct layer,
to select multiple objects Ctrl(cmd on MAC) + left click and drag everything that is inside the running ants will be selected.


Provided you're having the move tool (V) active and its 'Auto-Select' setting reads 'Layer' and not 'Folder' - @Bakabaka


'Layer' setting will select layer.

'Folder' will select the folder that the object is inside
