Hell yes. thanks. I've been doing this too by mistake and intentionally but haven't been successful at selection the two layers or so then moving it adjusting them. I've either clicked off then by accident or just not done it right this whole time. Thank you so much for this awesome but simple fix.

How do you select all the layers at once? I wanna shift my entire art piece to the center, but with 50+ layers, swiping right on all of them is super tedious

Can you add a feature to clipping mask a folder? Because procreate only lets you ‘clipping mask’ the layers INSIDE the folder but not the folder itself and I think it would help me a lot if there is a feature like that. :)

Lol ty so much. Really frustrating that I'd randomly accidentally select multiple layers but when I actually want to, I couldn't figure it out!

[mamameeeah]

That illustration is beautiful! Artist name?

[CubeSketches]

but how do you select all layers lets say you have 30 layers how do you select all of them at once without grouping?

[essaart]

Could you please make one how to use multiply layer for shading

[garrisonfjord]

Ok, but how do I clear a selection from one layer from multiple selected layers? If I try and bring up the side panel with select, alpha lock blah blah blah it unselects all the other layers.

What is the name for the group of layers under "layers?"

[greggmorris]

If you have pinched several layers together is there a way to separate them back out again?

[lornio]

Do you know how I can group layers on procreate pocket version 3.0.6? Any help is appreciated :)

[andreaeiriksdottir]

I'm having trouble selecting layers. Whenever I select a layer, the color of the whole layer changes to the currently selected color. I have no idea how to fix it.

[duduraphael]

I hate myself for not learning how to do that months ago
