Hello,
Is there anyway on ps to move multiple layers to a different position without having to merge them all?
And if you merge a whole bunch of layers, can you ever unmerge them?
thanx for the time.

In the layer window, click the box next to the eye, on each layer that you want to move. You’ll get it from there.

if i find myself moving similar layers many times together i tend to group them in a “layer set” then i can move that set instead of worrying if my layers are all linked.

It’s not control z in PhotoShop. It’s Ctrl+Alt+z. 😉

control + z for the last edit u did
Control + Alt + Z to go back as far as your history will let you.
