I'm constantly clicking a layer visible/invisible to see its effect on the general image, but I have to do this with the mouse.

Is there a keyboard shortcut for toggling on/off a layer's visibility/invisibility?

It should be the same as with the newer versions: Ctrl + < or Cmd + <

Hi Benjamin Root ~

That doesn't work on my CS2 Version 9

The standard Windows keyboard, like that of a typewriter, has the < above the comma on the comma key, so that SHFT-COMMA is necessary to get to < . So, CTRL-COMMA is the only thing available. I tried CTRL-SHFT-COMMA but that didn't work either.

I notice that CTRL-[ and CTRL-] (brackets) moves the selection of layers up and down, so I tried CTRL with just about every key on the keyboard, but nothing had any effect on visible/invisible for the selected layer.

‌Sorry, it would actually be Ctrl + , If you don't see this option, go into the keyboard shortcuts, application menus, layer, then set a shortcut for hide layers. if it still doesn't work, try a preference reset:

Win: Press and hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift immediately after initiating Photoshop's startup. A box will appear asking if you want to continue with the reset, select "yes." If you don't see this, you weren't fast enough...Try again.

Mac: Press and hold Cmd+Opt+Shift and start Photoshop. A box will appear, asking if you want to continue with the reset, select "yes."
