All right? So there's one shape there's, two shapes and there's three shapes, so you should just know, pull my layers over here for a second, make sure we can see it. Sorry, everything's getting really messing now, but, um, a few keyboard targets, so when you want to select different layers and the layers panel, when you're recording your actions, if you click on a layer, it will record rectangle, too, or if we switch this to corn, you know it's going to select that specific layer, and you don't always want to do that, so let's, go ahead and do the option key and then the right bracket key see how I can navigate up and down through my layers panel all right and actually cycles all the way through them.

Have always been impressed with Ms Kost's teaching; this did not disappoint, fact filled, delivered with flair and obvious interest in the product. All attributes you would expect from someone in such a position at Adobe; what you don't expect, but get in abundance, is Ms Kost's sense of humour and real personality that lift the course and engage the learner.
