Layers

[Sarah P.]

Hi! I just did the last update of Photoshop and there is one thing I don't know how to change. With the previous version I was using, all I had to do was select a layer on the right (in the layers menu) and I could move it without any other layer moving (even if I clicked on one in the workspace). Now, if I select a layer in the right-hand menu, try to move it in the workspace but click on a layer that is normally behind it, it moves instead of the one I had selected.

How can I make sure that only the layer selected on the right is moved? Other than by locking all layers?

Thanks in advance for the answer and sorry if it's not very clear, English is not my native language.

With the move tool selected, go to the options bar at the top of the screen and uncheck 'AutoSelect'
