: Work with multiple selections simultaneously in Photoshop 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

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

I think Daniel is correct in your functionality once he mentioned that. The closest I believe you'll get is using Folders to contain all of your "pieces." If you're not aware you can then Right Click and any object directly under the mouse appears in a drop down. You could quickly select the Group / Folder Name or quickly select one of the singular items within it. Notice Rectangle 1 (the red one) isn't on the drop down, because my cursor is not on top of it. Sorry not using Screencap software but I right-clicked directly left of where the Group 1 appeared:

I can't think of any more efficient way within Photoshop to do what you're looking for.
