Feature Suggestion: I need a way to change the color of multiple shape-layers at once. How about you select multiple shape-layers and then drag and drop a color-swatch onto them?

Thanks for the update Jeffrey.

That's a step... but still... Copying a color from an object to change the color of another object is still taking many steps. Do you know if copy pasting a color from the swatch only, or in any other way, is planned?

Thanks

In Photoshop CS6, you can change multiple shape layers color at once using the Shape tool's options bar:

Yes, Improvements to basic workflows. Like change the color of a bunch of shapes. It's an amazing hassle.

I'd like to see the use of color picker improved. To take a color from a text, and paste it into a layer shape is taking too many steps...

Or from one layer shape to another. I'd like to not need to open de color picker.

I wonder why lots of gadgets are added but basic tools like that are not improved.

As a work-around a Color Overlay could be applied as a Style to multiple Layers at once.
