    It becomes fun when you reach the limit of groups in groups xD Especially with Webdesign that can happen easily. But that only happend once in 5 years to me, luckily.

    Thanks for the tutorial!

    Now, with the new CS6, the layer’s organization and management is better.

    the keyboard shortcurts are very useful, i will use them!

  • Ben Goings

    Good stuff as usual Martin! I knew some of this already, but you summed it up really well. I think probably the most useful shortcut in the video was how you can solo a layer by alt-clicking on the eye! That’s something I always wanted to do, but I didn’t think you could :)

  • Kieran Hawes

    You perform a valuable public service with this one, Martin. I wish the guy before me, in most cases, would take note.
