Lorene Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I can no longer select items from the page I am working on. I have to select them from the layer window. I have Photoshop 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teecee Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Do you mean Photoshop Elements 11? If so, try this: with the Move tool selected, be sure Auto Select Layer is checked in the tool options bar. HTH Click to enlarge: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorene Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 Thank you, it worked. I must have accidentally hit the "auto select layer" a few days ago. Now I can be faster and more efficient:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belle Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I always select the "auto select layer" when I try to move small objects but always remember to put it back again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheri T Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I always select the "auto select layer" when I try to move small objects but always remember to put it back again. Instead of changing that setting, try to remember this keyboard shortcut - hold the control key down while moving the tiny object (make sure that layer is selected first). I use this one all the time. Lorene, I'll never forget the first time that setting got off for me...soooooo frustrating until I got it changed back again!
