212 CHAPTER 8 Using Layers To copy a layer or layer set between images: 1 Make sure that both the source and destination images are open. 2 In the Layers palette of the source image, select the name of the layer or layer set that you want to copy. 3 Do one of the following: • For layers, drag the layer's name from the Layers palette into the destination image. • Use the move tool ( ) to drag the layer or layer set from the source image to the destination image. The copied layer appears in the destination image where you release the mouse button (and above the active layer in the Layers palette). If the layer you're dragging is larger than the destination image, only part of the layer is visible, but its contents remain available. Use the move tool to drag other sections of the layer into view. Hold down Shift as you drag a layer to copy it in the same position it occupied in the source image (if the source and destination images have the same pixel dimensions) or to the center of the destination image (if the source and destination images have different pixel dimensions). To copy a layer's contents and paste them into another image: 1 Choose Select > All to select all of the pixels on the layer that fall inside the canvas boundaries. 2 Choose Edit > Copy. Select a target layer in the destination image, and choose Edit > Paste. The contents of the clipboard are centered in the image. (Only the information inside the canvas boundaries is copied.) To copy multiple layers or layer sets into another image: 1 Make sure that both the source and destination images are open, and select one of the layers or layer sets you want to copy. 2 If not already linked, in the Layers palette, click in the column immediately to the left of any additional layers you want to move. The link icon appears in the column. 3 Use the move tool ( ) to drag the linked layers or layer set from the source image to the destination image. To duplicate a layer into another image or a new image: 1 If you are duplicating a layer or layer set to an existing image, open both the source and destination images. 2 In the source document's Layers palette, select the name of the layer you want to duplicate. 3 Choose Layer > Duplicate Layer or Layer > Duplicate Layer Set. 4 Type a name for the duplicate layer. 5 For Document, choose a destination for the layer. To create a new document for the layer, choose New, and type a name for the new document. 6 Click OK. An image created by duplicating a layer has no background layer.
