Linking layers
By linking two or more layers or layer sets, you can move their contents together. You can also copy, paste, align, merge, apply transformations to, and create clipping masks from linked layers. In ImageReady, working with multiple layer selections is more flexible and provides all the functionality of linking (see Selecting layers), but linking is still an option in order to provide backwards compatibility.
To link layers:
- Select a layer or layer set in the Layers palette.
- Click in the column immediately to the left of any layers you want to link to the selected layer. A link icon
appears in the column.
To link selected layers: (ImageReady)
Choose Link Layers from the Layers palette menu.
To unlink layers:
In the Layers palette, click the link icons to remove the links.
