Duplicating several layers

I have created a collage (postcard) of sorts including several different text layers, a few pictures and some drawing items. I now want to copy ALL of these layers and paste it on the same project. I should be able to fit 3 of these postcards on 1 sheet of paper. How can I copy all of the layers so that I could then alter they copied layers? I seem to turn all of the layers into 1 layer when I paste them.
Any ideas??

Hi Erin,
There may be other ways of doing this, but to me it looks like you will have to
copy every layer individually. A few curbs are built in, too.
You would need to drag each layer thumbnail while holding the Shift key.
That will center everyone of them on the new background. If you need to
drag an adjustment layer, be sure to grab the thumbnail on its right side,
where the text is. This is also true for a layer that contains a layer
mask. When done with all layers, you will have to link them all, so you can
reposition them on the new background.
Finally, if you have a layer that contains an object surrounded by
transparency, that one will not center properly. You either have to
manually line it up with the rest of them (very tricky), or fill the
transparent area with some light color that you can clear out after the move
is done.

  • Place linked, any way to update several layers at once when changing location of source files? (i.e. moving source folder to different location/computer)

    I have a PS file whic I wanna use as template for several works. I've got several layers containing external images which have been "placed linked" and which are organised in a single folder in my computer. I believe the links are saved as absolute therefore if I copy the PSD file and the source images folder into a different computer (or even if I move the source folder to a different location in the same computer) all smart objects have to be relinked one by one!!! any way to do it all at once (as I guess it is the case in Premiere and AE) assuming they're all in the same folder???
    Also similar question when renaming all source images, any way PS can link to specific file and keep the link even if a name change happens?
    If possible it'd be a huge time saver!
    Thanks

    anyone any help? Thx!

  • I have several layers for this image: Background, Moon, Tree, Grass and Clouds.  When I try to use the Move tool to move the Moon, the tool jumps to the Tree layer.  The same thing happens with the other layers as well (except the background layer).  How

    I have several layers for my image: Background, Moon, Tree, Grass and Clouds.  When I try to use the Move tool to move the Moon, the tool jumps to the Tree layer.  The same thing happens with the other layers as well (except the background layer).  How can I keep the move tool from jumpimg to the Tree layer?

    1. Pre-select (highlight) the layer to move in the Layers panel.  or-
    2. [ALT+Right mouse click]  to select the wanted layer in the image window.
    and maybe
    3. Set the PS option to "Auto-select" a layer with cursor hover.  (can be very confusing!)

  • Converting several layers to a symbol

    Hi
    I have a problem  with making symbol
    when I try to convert several layers to a symbol  the regularity of layers will chages.
    Here is the movie that I captured:

    Thanks

    Hi,
    I am sorry that you are experiencing this problem. Just to make my understanding clearer did you by any chance painted on top of layers(because after you create the symbol it appears that the hair was somewhat different from the one before conversion) the new nose, hair etc?
    Let me know,

  • Contacts duplicated several times

    I have different items from the Apple range (i.e. 3 workstation Imac, 1 Macbook pro, 1 Iphone 4 and 1 IPad). I have ticked ICloud on all of them and faoud all my contacts duplicated several times. Haw can I solve this synchonization problem?
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Check that the duplicates aren't just the same contacts in dfferent accounts, you might also take a look at this User Tip, to ensure you understand the differences between the different accounts in Address Book before adding, altering or deleting any contacts..

  • How to merge adjustment layers to several layers and export layers to files

    Hi!
    I have now exactly the same problem as below with over 1000 images, I have saved them in .psd that has over 100 layers each. On top of those there is curves and levels layer that affects every layer below. I want to save all images to .jpg for videoedit with those curves at least. I don't want to merge same curves 100 times. Is there a solution in phothoshop cs5 or cs6 available? Would save alot of working hours. All I have got by this far is blank white images of adjustment layers and non adjusted jpg-files.
    This discussion was opened in 2010 and I quess this is same problem:
    How to merge adjustment layers to hundreds of layers?
    Jul 28, 2010 10:38 AM
    Say I have a photoshop File with 100 layers.  And say I created 3 adjustment layers on top of those 100 layers to get the adjustments that i want for those layers.   I'm happy with the adjustments but Then I NEED to merge those 3 adjustment layers to ALL those 100 layers.   Is there a way to easily permanently apply the adjustments to each of those layers without having to do it manually?     I absolutely need to merge the adjustments to the seperate layers because of how the layers are being used in a seperate 3d program.   
    So far what I've been doing is duplicating the adjustment layers for each layer and merging them to said layers separately.. Anyone have a better way? I wish I could just right click the adjustment layer and Tell it to merge to everylayer it affects  or apply to every layer underneath it!
    Anyone?
    Thanks!
    Thanks alot if u solve this!

  • Adobe After Effects: Keep "Expression-Relations" when duplicating multiple layers

    Hi there!
    Just wanted to ask, whether there is a way to keep the relations of expressions going when duplicating layers. E.g. I have two layers, "LayerA" and "LayerB". Now I have an expression going on in "LayerB" saying, that its position always equals the position of "LayerA". Now when I duplicate those two and get "LayerA 2" and "LayerB 2" I want the expression in "LayerB 2" to reference to "LayerA 2"'s position rather than "LayerA"'s position!
    While it is no problem to simply change the expression when there is only one of them, it gets quite hard when you have multiple expressions going on ...
    Thx in advance

  • Offsetting time and position of several layers relative to preceding layer

    Hello -
    Pardon the newbie questions, but I've keyframed 'Black Solid' moving along the x axis and basically would like to duplicate the layer (perhaps with a new color) several times so that each 'new layer' follows the previous layer and offsets itself a certain amount of pixels...say 20px for example.
    I found a simple expression that I applied to the first dup'd layer and it works fine but I can't figure out where to tell it to offset 20px to the left of the main layer.
    thisComp.layer("Black Solid 1").transform.position.valueAtTime(time -.1);
    I suppose I'm trying for a cascading effect + offset.
    Thanks!

    Everything is spelled correctly. Yes, the problem seems to be that I'm trying to refer to shape groups, not proper layers. This was done by importing an Illustrator file and then creating shapes from vector layer. (Each shape gets its own "group," which apparently AE doesn't see as layers.)
    This is also weird, since simple expressions, such as
    content("shape-1").transform.position-100
    work fine. I guess that's because there's no layer reference, only a reference to the shape name, "shape-1".
    Is there a way for an expression to address position and time for these "non-layer" shapes?
    Thanks for your help.  :+)

  • Duplicating all layers simultaneously

    I would be grateful if someone could tell me how to move or duplicate all the layers of an image at the same time in Illustrator CS4.
    Thanks

    In the layers panel Shift select the layers if they are continuous in order (if non continuous in order command or control select) and
    then go to the layers flyout and select Duplicate Selection that will duplicate all layers you have selected.
    You only need to select the layers panel not the content of layers. The layers and content will be duplicated anyway.
    Tot move the layers select as described above
    then drag them to the position you wish in the layers panel.
    you will se a double line when the cursor is at the position between two other layers or at the top or bottom of all the layers.
    when you see the double line let go of the mouse.
    You should really purchase a book and look at the  help files before coming to the forum you will actually learn a lot that way.

  • Apply the same motion tween in several layers

    My character has many layers such as arm, leg, eye and I applied several tween in each layers of it , now I want to apply the same motion tween in all these layers , Is there a way to do that ?

    Download NewerAnimClip from Dave Logan - Flash Extensions and install it.
    Select all the layers that contain pieces of your character.
    Run the command
    Make sure that what it created is set to be a graphic symbol
    Under looping, set your symbol to "Play once."
    Apply the motion tween to your new graphic symbol.

  • How do I import several layers from one Illustrator file into another Illustrator file?

  • Can I embed layer styles to an image that has several layers and effects

    CS2
    PSD
    Windows
    I have a logo that has numerous layers - which I used to created depth with styles in PSD.
    If I scale my logo image 80% - the layer effects remain as it was at 100%.
    Can I do something to have the layer effects scale accordingly with the image?
    I tried flattening the image - but it doesn't keep all of the effects.
    Any thoughts.

    George that sounds great! Where is this resize dialogue?
    I usually go to transform > scale and enter percentage above in the tool bar or just drag the anchors accordingly.

  • Several layered effects of the same kind but with different adjustments for the same layer

    Hi,
    I wonder if it there is an easy way to have several different instances of e.g. glow or bevel and emboss on the same layer.
    I know I can achieve this by using smart objects or a duplicate layer with zero blending.
    I just wondered if there is a way to do this directly in the layer effects.

    Hi emil emil,
    thx for your answer!
    I wasn't even refering to different objects on the same layer, btw. it would be enough if I was able to layer e.g. different bevel and emboss on top of each other (With different colors, softness  and size.)  But I guess the answer remains the same.

  • Can anyone tell me how to show/hide several layers simultaneously?

    Hello
    Can anyone show me how to  make more than one layer visible or invisible without having to click on each separate layer? - I have more than 100 layers in a drawing, and it is very tedious to keep having to click on each layer individually to hide it or show it. I have just started using Photoshop Elements 13, on an iMac
    Thanks for any advice.

    You can Option click on the eye beside the layer thumbnail icon to hide all but the selected layer(s).
    Option click again to show all the layers.
    Command click to toggle the selected layer visibilty on/off
    To hide multiple layers, select the layers, right click on one the eyes and click on Hide this layer
    Repeat to make the layers visible again.
    You can also click on one the eyes and then drag down or up to hide multiple layers and reverse to make the layers visible.
