### 7.15. Select Previous Layers

The Select Previous Layers command changes the layers that are currently selected. For each contiguous group of selected layers, it starts the selection from the layer above the first one selected, and removes the last selected one from the selection. When one layer is selected, this selects the previous layer (the one above it).

| Підказка
The keyboard shortcuts for Select Previous Layers and Select Next Layers can be very useful if you frequently pick colors from one layer to use for painting on another layer, especially when you use them with the color-picker tool, which you get by holding down the Ctrl key with most of the painting tools.
