sometimes you have lots of layers upon layers.

if you hate scrolling up and down the "Layers palette" looking for a layer to work on or edit, right clicking on your image will reveal a lot.

right click on your image when you have your "move tool" selected and you get a list of all layers underneath your mouse pointer then you can select the layer you want.

If another tool is selected, then you CTRL+right click and it works the same way.

In order to demonstrate, I put together the below image

It is a screenshot of right clicks on different parts of the image. For example, when I right click on the Eagle image, I get a list of all the layers underneath my mouse. If, for example, I want to work on the "sunset" layer, I simply select the layer from the list.
