Question

object selection other than itself (not targeted)

Hi Guys!
I have a situation that bothers me vx in photoshop, and
this has been happening to some versions until the last one.

Sometimes it happens to open (any file) for example,
with a light effect, image and text, so if you try to select something
out of these objects (light or the image), say a single text, doing the action
next to get his box, he selects this light up there,
with the box of this light the size of the canvas, then if I give a
Ctrl + T, the checkbox for that light reduces to its original size and then
I can select only the text.

In short, I was wondering if there are any settings to disable this,
because when you have a project with lots of layers, groups, and you try to select
something specific, he ends up taking some objects that are in this type of situation.

Tks!!

Can you translate what you wrote into text that is easy to understand. It would be helpfule is you include OS and PS version and steps performed for your vx situration in Photoshop. Note all the versions your vx in.

I'm sorry, I don't speak English, I'm using google to translate. I will send a video that I recorded of the situation.

Hi

 

Try writing in your native language— the Translate button in the forum usually works well. 

 

Are you working in 3D?

 

If the issue is that the wrong layer is getting selected when you try to Move something, turn off Auto-Select in the options bar for the Move tool.
