Hi Guys,
Can any of you help me with Photoshop CS5 on a mac please? I've tried everything including attempting to call design firms.
On an active layer in the layer palette it was once possible by hovering over the layer in the palette with the cursor, then pressing ctrl + clicking to then see the dotted selection line appear around the desired layer on the canvas so I can use this exact shape to crop away at another layer on the canvas but the feature isn’t there in CS5 as it was in previous versions?
I tried use the magic wand tool but I'm getting terribly pixelated edges even at 300dpi where as the geometric shapes I've created are lovely and smooth for using to crop away at other shapes.
Is there another way of selecting a layer in CS5 please guys?
Or another new age way of doing what I'm after while creating selections with the same high quality edges please?
Cheers,
Dan

Welcome to the forum.
The function is still there. If you are on a Mac, Command click the layer thumbnail.

After ALL that !!!
I was clicking to the right of the thumbnail, this time when I hovered the cursor over the actual thumb nail image of the layer it worked, the cursor changes to a dotted square when clicking 'cmd' and while doing so the layer becomes activated with the selection line around it on the canvas !!! yes yes yes !!
I'm flying again !!
Thank you !
