In Photoshop by default you have to go and select what you want to work on in the layer panel, and use a CTRL + click on the element to select it, or right-click somewhere in the working space and you’ll get a list of your layers (good luck if you did not rename them). Fortunately, there’s a simple tip to make Photoshop behave like illustrator. Get Better & Quicker Control on Your Current Tool Size Conclusion
