I'm using Photoshop CC (new user).

I am creating a collage with 40 pictures.

All of the pictures import into a different layer.

If I want to move one image - I have to click on the layer first - then I can move the image - but this is very cumbersome.

Is there anyway for me to simply click on the image I want to move, and it becomes the image that I can move - without having to first find it in the layers panel?

Thanks for any help,

Mark

Yes, just make sure "Auto-Select" and "Show Transform Controls" are are ticked when using the Move Tool.

Yes, there is. Select the Move tool, also known as the black arrow. It's the first tool in the box, with shortcut v.

With this tool active, while holding your Left Alt, Right click the desired object with your mouse. That should select the layer that object is on.

Be aware that clicking a (mostly) transparent pixel will select the layer that that pixel is on, and not the things you see below it.
