Using selection points on Layers

A single selection point will appear close to the first application of a mask in an adjustment layer or in a repair layer. One Selection point will appear per layer and will change color from silver to orange when active. Clicking on one will select that layer in the Layers tool, making it a quick and efficient way to move between them when editing, if there are several associated with that image.

1. To enable the layer selection points, go the menu and choose Layer -> Layer Selection Points and ensure that the option is toggled on.
   
   
2. To move between layers, click on the relevant selection point in the Viewer. Note that the selection point will change from silver to orange when selected. Toggle Display Mask (M) or Display Grayscale Mask (Alt-M) to view the selection.
   
   
3. To move the masked area, click the selection point and drag it to the desired location. The mask will move with the selection point.
   
   
4. When the Show Selection Point is not already enabled, Cmd/Ctrl-click on the mask instead and then drag to the new position.
