This has been going on for a bit, and it's finally MAKEING ME MAD... so got a set of diff layers, click on one (lets say to resize the object a bit) grab and OMG a diff layer moves... look over and sure enough it's grabbed a diff layer... Right now I click on the correct layer and when I go to move it PS defaults to 2 layers above???? WHAT is going on?? The only way I can stop this is to turn off the layer above, then it lets me work on the one I originally clicked on???

Smarter than me folks, HELP... It didn't use to do this, have NO idea whats going on

Makes no sense to me, never experienced it and can't replicate it.

Choose the "move" tool (mouse pointer with arrows), then deselect "auto choose layer" (or similar). Then go back to what you were doing.

OOOOOH that sounds good! Yay George!

To clarify... by "go back to what you were doing," I meant that you don't have to do this over and over, and that the option affects the move operation even when you're not using the tool directly.

I'll have to remember this. I know I have the same problem. But I'm guessing the auto select is the default so we have to remember to do this on every image we are editing in layers?

No. In general, Photoshop defaults to its most recent settings on things like this.

When my layers pop off, I go for that hand cursor and slap them around a little. I know it's not right, but it does keep them in line.

True, dat. But being old school, I use the ruler ;-)
