Photoshop CS3 annoyance (geekery)
by at 10:48 AM
Does anyone know how to make Photoshop CS3 not switch layers after doing a "step backwards" command? It's really irritating how I'll switch to a layer to draw on it, undo the drawing, and then Photoshop "helpfully" goes back to the previous layer. Like, it's aggregating the layer switch into the history item. I don't know when it got this behavior but 7.0 didn't have it (I'm guessing it's one of the many minor gotcha-type changes that came with the new UI).
It doesn't do this on "undo," but I hate that and I've bound cmd-Z to "step backwards" instead since often I want to undo many strokes in a row (since I draw with a tablet) and just having a one-command toggle undo is really dumb. Photoshop 7 let you actually select undo vs. step backwards as a global option (rather than them being completely separate commands) and so they both had the same behavior overall.
11:17 Finally found a Google hit on it. Apparently the solution is "just get used to it."
Any Photoshop CS3 gurus out there?
