Sometimes I have to add an object to an exsisting image that has lets say 30-40 layers. In doing so, I have to move the entire image up or down, so I have to link all the layers to move it up or down. I can't merge the layers, because I have to use the same image several ways, so is there a quick way to "link all" layers, move, then "unlink all" layers in Photoshop 7??
I know that Select-All layers doesn't do the trick. Thanks.

Jim

once yo've slected all the layers is there a link command in the layer menu or by right-clicking on the layer palette?

Hold down either shift or ctrl and click the layers you
wish to select.

I would build layer sets/groups.
You can actually nest sets within sets.
Things become easy to move ect.


But yea not sure what your issue is.
Try like Wayne would suggest and kill the preferences on
startup of the app.
