Getting the link option to work.

[Xandher]

Hey everyone. I recently upgraded to CS2 from 7.0, and I am having quite a bit of difficulty getting used to the new features and layouts. I use the link option constantly in the work that I do, but since I upgraded, I simply cannot figure out how to use it. I referred to the help menu, but all it says is to select your layer, and then click on the link icon in the bottom of the layers palette. That does not work for me. When I hover over it to click, my pointer switches to a error icon, ( circle with a line through it ) and I can't click on it...or the next icon over, for that matter. (the lower case f with the circle around it) Why would this be happening?

Thanks in advance for any help!

sorry i dont quite understand what you are asking me...what are you trying to do???

I'm trying to link layers together. In Photoshop 7 you could sort of check a box next to the layer name and link it with other layers. You can't do that with this one.

well after a bit of playing around the simple way 2 do it is to hold shift, click all teh layers you want to link together and click the lil paperclip icon in the bottom corner (the one ive highlighted) this shoul do the trick!

sorry about the delay in solvin ur problem, when you sed links i though you were talkin about hyperlinks thats what sonfused me lol!!!

if this is completley wrong then post again swearing at me etc. in not thanks...
