How Do You Select Multiple Items in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 1:24 am

There are a few different ways that you can select multiple items in Photoshop. One way is to use the “Select” menu. Go to the “Select” menu and then choose “All.” This will select all of the items on the layer that you are currently working on.

Another way to select multiple items is to use the “Edit” menu. Go to the “Edit” menu and then choose “Select All.” This will also select all of the items on the layer that you are currently working on.

If you want to select multiple items but not all of them, you can use the “Shift” key and click on each item that you want to select. For example, if you wanted to select all of the text layers, you would hold down the “Shift” key and then click on each text layer.

PRO TIP: When selecting multiple items in Photoshop, be careful not to select too many items at once. Otherwise, you may accidentally delete or move some of the selected items.

You can also use the “Ctrl” key (Windows) or the “Cmd” key (Mac) to select multiple items. For example, if you wanted to select all of the layers that were created in a certain date range, you would hold down the “Ctrl” or “Cmd” key and then click on each layer.

The last way to select multiple items is to use a selection tool. There are a few different selection tools, but the one that I typically use is the “Rectangular Marquee Tool.”

To use this tool, simply click and drag your mouse around the area that you want to select. You can also hold down the “Shift” key while you are dragging your mouse to create a perfect square or circle.

Once you have made your selection, you can release the mouse button and then move on to whatever task you were wanting to do with those selected items.
