However, If you apply the same filter to the group, all layers in that group are affected by the
filter, as if they were a single layer.
Many filters produce different results when applied to a group, rather than individual layers in a
group, as shown in the images below.

Select layers and groups
To reorganize layers and groups in a project, you must select which ones to move. This section
covers the methods to select layers in the Layers list.
Select one layer or group
m Click a layer or group in the Layers list.
Doing so deselects all other selected objects.
Note: Selecting a group does not also select the layers nested underneath it. However,
operations performed on a selected group also affect layers nested in it.
Select multiple contiguous layers or groups
Do one of the following:
m Shift-click any two layers in the Layers list.
Doing so selects both layers, and all layers in between.
m Click to the left of the thumbnail column and drag up or down to select multiple layers. (This
method works only when you begin dragging above the first or below the last object.)
