Getting what you want when you click your mouse!
If your working within a PSD file and a design that has many elements, you will most likely use Groups to keep layers organized.
Further, if your maximizing your time efficienctly you are also using the Keyboard Shortcut Ctrl+G to create those groups.
Since you are using keyboard shortcuts, selecting elements using cntl + click, makes your life easier and your workflow smoother and quicker.
But if you have created a group and you are trying to use cntrl + click to select the layer you maybe only selecting the group folder and NOT the element inside the group.
What to do to fix this?

Answer:
- Select the Move Tool.
- Look up at the options bar.
- Next to where it says (or says) Auto Select you may choose Layer or Group.
Now for using the Cntrl + Click make sure the Auto Select is NOT checked.
Note this is for PC. Mac may be similar.
