Auto Action to select all layers except current one.
I often need to use the operation tool to edit a single part of my illustration, and the only workaround I’ve found is to lock every layer except the layer I need to edit. I’m sure I’m not the only one. Well, I made an auto action to make the process less time consuming and annoying.
Instructions:
1. Set your move tool and operation tool to these options.
(Move tool, move layer, select move layers in the selected area, select moved layers become selected)
(Operation tool, select layer option)
2. Select the layer you need to edit. Keep in mind, the auto action renames the layer and changes the layer color, so if you want to change it back after performing the auto action, you can!
3. Do whatever you want to the unlocked layer (red layer, labeled “can see”)!
The Auto Action cannot unlock your layers, at least as of now. But you can do it yourself easily!
Instructions for Deselect:
1. Go to the operation tool. Make sure the proper settings match the one above!
2. Drag the tool across your entire canvas. All layers should be selected.
3. Simply press the lock button in the layer panel. If it locks all the layers, simply press the lock button again.
I hope this is useful for some!
