 |
|
I have a bunch of .bmp files that have 2 layers: the top layer and a 2nd layer that is the background (but not set officially as the backgound). When I open one of these .bmp files it opens with the first layer selected. How do I force photoshop to open the .bmp with the 2nd layer selected? I know there is a way because I accidentally did it once. |

For future reference: the answer is to record an action that switches layers and performs some function on the layer so that it allows you to save the file. Then you can batch automate the action recorded.
Also I was mistaken that they were bmp files, they were psd files. Bmps apparently don't have layers. |
