If You Work with a Lot of Layers, You're Going to Want to Learn This!
If you've created a big multi-layer file, you're going to have a long scrolling list of layers,
and sometimes finding the layer you're looking for gets really time-consuming. Luckily,
there's a filter bar at the top of the Layers panel. On the left side of this bar is a search pop-
up menu, which changes your choices to the right of it. It's set to Kind by default, which
gives you icons, and if you click on those icons, it filters to just show you particular kinds
of layers. For example, if you click on the “T” icon, it hides all the other layers but your
Type layers. I don't mean it hides them from view on your image, I mean now you only
see Type layers in the Layers panel (every other kind of layer is hidden). There are filters
to just show pixel layers (regular old image layers), just adjustment layers, just shape lay-
ers, or just smart object layers, and all it takes is one click on any of these to quickly see
just those types of layers. You can also search for layers by Name (a text field appears, so
you can type in a name to search for), or by Effect (a pop-up menu of layer styles appears),
or which blend mode you used, or a specific attribute, or assigned color. It's really pretty
