Is there a way to copy layers from one Photoshop document to another?

[Ganesh Ujwal]

Is there a way to copy layers from one Photoshop document to another? I was working on a project earlier on that required this but I didn't know how this could have been done. (Procedure not as simple as Illustrator, where a simple Ctrl | Cmd + C and Ctrl | Cmd + V would work.)

You can just drag the layer from one project to another, just open the two projects and go to Window, Arrange and 2up Vertical and highlight the layer you want to copy and just drag it across

Appears that our OP is using answers found here at PSG to answer questions at the other website.

Notice that this was answered only 1 hour ago.

I don't see anything wrong with what is being done here. I just want everyone to know what the OP is doing with your answers.

Well spotted Sam, and there was I thinking I was helping the OP out.

I guess in a way you are helping somebody both here and there.............your just not getting credit for your answer there.

We (myself) really appreciate you and your helpful insights and answers here at PSG. Thanks!

Ah I don't mind about the credit, I just like to help when I can.

This type of copy and paste goes on more than we know about. I've never felt the need to watermark my screen shots, but I may start so that if they are used, as in this case, then at least we might generate some traffic back to the forum.

Not quite the same as linking to another site now is it. Good catch Sherlock!
