Ok so who does this as they go along and who goes back in and cleans up afterwards. Show of hands.

lol... yes, Boz...this is actually a thread in honor of your damned PSDs... (not kidding) :)
... the 'Lazy bastard' comment didn't give it away?
btw - I sent the PSDs back to you... I don't have the time to clean them - sara will be hitting you up.
:D :D
- :) Well they insisted I give them the file immediately. This PSD was never meant to be a deliverable. At least not yet.Boz

...that's what right click is for!
I kid, I kid! I used to be a little insensitive about this issue until I had to pick up another designers project and she had so many layers that even right click was confused.

Kevin.. are you working on my PSD? Now I feel bad :)

I mean, seriously.
Photoshop does a good job of numbering them already.

I find it difficult to design and keep my layers organized at the same time. It's like two different parts of my brain are fighting one another. Anyone else feel like that?
- Used to, just train your organisy brain to do it's shit in the background, eventually you don't think about naming as you go..mikotondria3
- totally.. when the creative flow goes the last thing I think about is grouping and naming layersBoz
- Same with me!armin
- Don't you notice later that you get screwed over by the mess you've made. Without right clicking, how do you find a layer?CyBrainX

Arrrrgh, you'd be surprised at some of the ones I get, especially the folks who don't use layer comps. I just love getting a 200mb PSD with basically the same screen's assets duplicated into another folder, when all is needed is just a simple copy change to that screen.

You could tattoo that on most peoples' faces and they'd still shit all over a PSD and still give it to you to work on. No respect. They live and wallow in their own rasterized filth.
Slobs, learn this.
