[Photo]Is there a way to stop changing the layer when you click in the canvas?


Recommended Posts

You can lock the layer that you not want to select. You find this little lock-icon on the top right of the layers-panel. This lock don't prevent any manipulation of the pixels e.g you can paint on them or use adjustments, but you can't select them on the canvas and you can't transform them.

The simplest way to select no layers with the Move Tool is to click in the workspace somewhere outside the canvas (like in the grey area in the screenshot).
