Photoshop or Elements Tip of the Week

Layers and Layers of Copies

Do you find yourself coming and going? Between work, ball games, helping the kids with homework, cooking, cleaning, volunteer work and scrapbooking, I sometimes think I need a copy of myself! You too?

If life were as easy as Photoshop, we'd be able to create a copy of ourselves in a snap!

Here are three ways to create a copy of a layer in Photoshop and PSE in just a few clicks:

  1. 1.Select a layer you want to copy. Locate the layer in the Layers Palette. Drag the layer to the Create a New Layer Icon above the Layers Palette in PSE or below the Layers Palette in PS. Photoshop will create a copy of the layer and place it directly on top of the original layer.
  2. Select the item you wish to copy. Press Ctrl + J (Mac Cmd + J) on your keyboard. Like Method 1, the software will create a duplicate copy on top of the original.
  3. This is my favorite method because it saves you a step. Select the Move Tool. Hold the Alt key (Mac: Opt) and drag the image where you want it to be on the page. Photoshop copies the layer as you drag it into place.


Have a great week and we'll see you at DesignerDigitals!
