1. Re: Found Bug in PS5 - some linked items don't get moved or rotated together!

You can't be talking about Photoshop 5.0, can you? There really was a 5.0, 5.5, and 6.0.
There's a Photoshop CS5, Photoshop CS5.1 (part of CS5.5), and there will be an upcoming Photoshop CS6 (but it's not here yet in any form that I know of)... Since you claim to know the likelihood of a problem in "PS6", are you just anticipating what will likely be in Photoshop CS6?
But to your reported issue...
In Photoshop CS5 I created a document with multiple fill layers and linked them together...
With just the one Red Heart layer selected, as shown above, I chose the Move Tool, and moved the image. All Layers moved together...
You say "if you select the "Move Tool", to either move or rotate the entire layer" but I don't know how to rotate things using the Move Tool. I *DO* know how to rotate things using the Edit - Transform tool, so (with the one layer selected above) I pressed Control-T to start Transform, then rotated the mask by clicking outside the border of the tool and dragging the mouse.
Everything seemed to rotate together just fine...
What am I doing here that's not what you're describing?

Astara_ Nov 14, 2011 5:46 PM (in response to Noel Carboni)No... The outline of the shape needs to be showing, so you need to click on the actual 'mask' in the layer, so that the mask
in the layer is selected. Then you are rotating the linked mask...else you are rotating the layers...which *does* work.

MTSTUNER Nov 14, 2011 5:54 PM (in response to Astara_)Posting a screenshot of your layers panel might be helpful since perhaps there is something different about your layers that we are overlooking.
I can't seem to replicate the problem in photoshop cs5.

Noel Carboni Nov 14, 2011 5:57 PM (in response to Astara_)So what you're saying is that instead of fill layers, I should have used pixel layers, with vector masks. I'll try that when I get some time.

Astara_ Nov 15, 2011 11:04 AM (in response to Noel Carboni)Actually, the same thing happens with fill layers if you select the the shape of the path, i.e.
click on the right box of the layer, that will light up the path so you can see what you are working with.
If I'm rotating a mask or some indistinct shape (a oval that is nearly circular, as an example, or a low-contrast shape/fill
layer against a background...(random noise over random noise would be a clear example, BUT pointless if it is really random! ;-),
I want to be able to see the edges of what I'm working with...thus turn on the shape outline...
MTS/(or Noel), if you still want a panel shot, lemme know...or if the above explains it (otherwise I'll assume you can duplicate/verify the bug)...
