Pls. help . . .Photoshop... Auto Select the layers above the layer ( Scripts )

Myra has provided a hint for automation... This can be done for all visible layers above the current layer via two keyboard shortcuts and or in an action:

ALT/OPT + ]

ALT/OPT + SHIFT + .

There are better ways, however, the ScriptingListener ExtendScript code for these two action steps:

// Select forward visible layer
var s2t = function (s) {
	return app.stringIDToTypeID(s);
};
var descriptor = new ActionDescriptor();
var descriptor2 = new ActionDescriptor();
var list = new ActionList();
var list2 = new ActionList();
var reference = new ActionReference();
var reference2 = new ActionReference();
reference.putEnumerated( s2t( "layer" ), s2t( "ordinal" ), s2t( "forwardEnum" ));
descriptor.putReference( s2t( "null" ), reference );
descriptor.putBoolean( s2t( "makeVisible" ), false );
list.putInteger( 4 );
descriptor.putList( s2t( "layerID" ), list );
executeAction(s2t( "select" ), descriptor, DialogModes.NO);
// Add continuous visible layers to front layer
reference2.putEnumerated( s2t( "layer" ), s2t( "ordinal" ), s2t( "front" ));
descriptor2.putReference( s2t( "null" ), reference2 );
descriptor2.putEnumerated( s2t( "selectionModifier" ), s2t( "selectionModifierType" ), s2t( "addToSelectionContinuous" ));
descriptor2.putBoolean( s2t( "makeVisible" ), false );
descriptor2.putList( s2t( "layerID" ), list2 );
executeAction( s2t( "select" ), descriptor2, DialogModes.NO );

P.S. Further steps could be added to the action or script to correctly handle invisible layers.

EDIT: The following code will select all visible or invisible layers above the active layer:

// Toggle visibility of active layer
var s2t = function (s) {
	return app.stringIDToTypeID(s);
};
var descriptor = new ActionDescriptor();
var list = new ActionList();
var reference = new ActionReference();
reference.putEnumerated( s2t( "layer" ), s2t( "ordinal" ), s2t( "targetEnum" ));
list.putReference( reference );
descriptor.putList( s2t( "null" ), list );
descriptor.putBoolean( s2t( "toggleOptionsPalette" ), true );
executeAction(s2t("show"), descriptor, DialogModes.NO);

// Select forward layer
var s2t = function (s) {
	return app.stringIDToTypeID(s);
};
var descriptor = new ActionDescriptor();
var list = new ActionList();
var reference = new ActionReference();
reference.putEnumerated( s2t( "layer" ), s2t( "ordinal" ), s2t( "forwardEnum" ));
descriptor.putReference( s2t( "null" ), reference );
descriptor.putBoolean( s2t( "makeVisible" ), false );
list.putInteger( 4 );
descriptor.putList( s2t( "layerID" ), list );
executeAction(s2t( "select" ), descriptor, DialogModes.NO);

// Get the active layer name
var theLayerName = app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name;

// Add continuous visible layers to front layer
var s2t = function (s) {
	return app.stringIDToTypeID(s);
};
var descriptor = new ActionDescriptor();
var list = new ActionList();
var reference = new ActionReference();
reference.putEnumerated( s2t( "layer" ), s2t( "ordinal" ), s2t( "front" ));
descriptor.putReference( s2t( "null" ), reference );
descriptor.putEnumerated( s2t( "selectionModifier" ), s2t( "selectionModifierType" ), s2t( "addToSelectionContinuous" ));
descriptor.putBoolean( s2t( "makeVisible" ), false );
descriptor.putList( s2t( "layerID" ), list );
executeAction(s2t( "select" ), descriptor, DialogModes.NO);

// Toggle the visibility of the base selected layer
var s2t = function (s) {
	return app.stringIDToTypeID(s);
};
var descriptor = new ActionDescriptor();
var list = new ActionList();
var reference = new ActionReference();
reference.putName( s2t( "layer" ), theLayerName );
list.putReference( reference );
descriptor.putList( s2t( "null" ), list );
descriptor.putBoolean( s2t( "toggleOptionsPalette" ), true );
executeAction(s2t( "show" ), descriptor, DialogModes.NO);

I don't have a script for you, but because the layers you want selected are contiguous, you can select them by selecting the bottom layer of what you want, holding down Shift, and selecting the top layer that you want.
