Collage Question - Adjusting Photos/Layers

I have a large collage with about 25 photos of family - each photo was placed separately on a different layer.  Some do have blending options added to them - and some do not.  So now, to try to organize them and place them where I want to on the background/resize, etc....I have to click on the layer of each photo (after trying to find it since there are so many) and then manipulate it.

Is there a way to be able to move and resize the photos without constantly clicking on different layers like you'd be able to do in Publisher?

Thanks for any suggestions to make this smoother!

    To elaborate on Davescm point, this will allow you to select the image from the artboard - you have to be quite accurate when working with different layers layered on top of each other as it will also select the visible layer

    hi, you want to merge all the photos in one place?
