Thank goodness, this is a feature I've been waiting for. Great guide, and an awesome explanation of the options available!
Brilliant! Thanks, Colin.
Will definitely be useful in my many-layered compositions. Thanks!
When I am "painting" on lots of new blank layers, this feature does help me visualize the which layer a detail is on. 🤗🤗
Yep, another good video and useful, if not for all scenarios!
Great video and really useful new features.
I always learn something from your videos! Super useful. Thanks Colin!!
Good new feature and a good discussion of various use options.
Much love from your number one fan in Nigeria ❤
Great Tutorial, Colin
Thanks, Colin, I definitely think this feature will be useful for me as I venture into compositing more.
Awesome as always thanks
The comments really show how divergent people are in the way they use PS. Some think this is 'useless', and likely don't do a lot of layer/compositing work. However, for the majority I would think these changes are wonderful and will make it much easier to identify and work with objects/layers. Thanks for this Colin!

Sometimes people forget the different professions that use Photoshop, over the years I've worked in Design (print and Interactive), Photography, video, visual Effects, advertising, comic book, and probably others, and all these industries use Photoshop in different ways.
👍🏻 I've always been looking for a way to approach a specific layer of many in a targeted and "short way". This feature seems to offer exactly THAT. Good thing! Well explained! thx.
Definitely going to try this. Thanks for the video

Definitely useful
Thanks for the info! Your icon for Cntrl Cmd has the apple and microsoft logos paired with the wrong key name. You say it correctly tho.
Very good improvement! Better late than never.
Looks like something I could use with the compositing I do a lot of. The trick is remembering the dang thing is there! For me, anyway... Cool demo, Colin!

Thanks Rod
I'm looking forward to this feature. I do some compositing and sometimes finding layers is a challenge. I don't use the Beta - it becomes the default app for psd files in Windows and I can't change that. I'll definitely use this feature when it makes it into the public version. Also, just after 5 minutes in, you reference Illustrator. Was that intentional? I don't use Illustrator, only Photoshop. Thanks for another really useful video.
I will absolutely use it! I never have as many layers as you do but I always have more than 4! Thank you again for the early information.
This will be an interesting feature!
I noticed this change last week by accident. Used it and was gladly surprised.
In the past, I've used Illustrator significantly more than Photoshop and i understand the value of the new layer select options. I'm looking forward to their introduction into the production version of Photoshop.
Nice updates indeed!

I think they are useful
Many thanks, great explanation. I'm an "old fashion" photographer. I don't do any compositing, and I don't see a use for this feature in my work.
When this feature ships in the regular PS version, I will definitely use it!
I can see myself turning this off for a lot of projects, but for others it will be really handy. Thanks!!!
Some of this can be useful. But, whit auto select off, when I press Cmd/Ctrl and hover over the layer, I get smart guide box around it and I can choose layer I want. Somehow, the Photoshop team is making things that are already there, like with an Adjustment brush.

Photoshop always has 2 or more ways of doing the same thing. I guess which one anyone chooses is down to how their mind approaches a problem and how 'muscle memory' is ingrained, personally I use layers almost beyond a reasonable level, so this has potential, but until it hits mainstream I'll stay away as I don't use Beta.
So, is this a tool that’s primarily useful for graphic design and compositing?

Use it for whatever you like :)
Has scaling changed for anyone else? I now have to hold the shift key to scale proportionally (didn’t before). Tried to adjust my settings but it’s not working.
Colin, you have a spoken typo @6:00 😁 Another thing this feature does is show the limits of layers that extend outside the document. There have been updates two days running, and V25.8.0 m.2581 appears to be working perfectly. The square bracket key function was an 'Oh wow!' moment for me, so thanks for that.

Not. It's not good sign if such a minor feature can actually cause Photoshop to crash. This may mean they've been fiddling with the way Photoshop handles layer stacking. I'm hoping they will not release this feature in the main version, until they have removed or anything that causes instability

I just updated a minute ago and the version I got is 25.8.0 m2580. You got 1 digit higher 43 minutes before my update. Wierd.

lol, fortunately my overlay was correct, or the Windows users would be hunting for the Cmd key, which is even more rare than the "any key"
Error on shortcut at 6 mins. But still a very useful video.
As opposed to "Bata" lol 😅

I personally have little interest in any of these features…mostly because I really dislike seeing the bounding box as I find it too distracting. I also prefer to use the auto select so even though I have projects with many layers and groups I would likely never use any of this. I can see where this would be helpful for those who don’t use the auto select though.

Uggh. More complexity.
fuck now I have a reason to install AI ridden photoshop
personally i think this feature from adobe is pointless🤷
Please, please, please! Please stop using "AND IF YOU GET ANY VALUE..." It really becomes tiresome. Or, simply make your speech characteristics a bit less exaggerated. That would be so great

Lol. If that’s you’re biggest complaint, I guess I’m not doing too bad 😂 it’s actually quite hard for me to small talk
