Copy a layer to another file...

Is it possible to copy a layer in one single file to another?  I designed a model of Web site I want to understand the context in which I want to build the background mosaic in a separate file.  I like the results of the background in the original file, but don't want to start trying to figure out what I did.  The file was created a long time ago.  I just got the approval of the customer for him.  I tried to drag the layer I want in a new file, but it does not work.

Thanks for the tips!

You could try layer > duplicate layer, then choose another open or new file as the destination.

Also, you should be able to make a right click on the layer thumbnail and see in double layer listed.

  • Copy of layer to another project

    I have a text or a logo with an alpha configuration in a Photoshop file and I need copy it to other photos if the text/logo is on top of the photo. I can't drag the layer to the second photo no problem. But when I go to reposition it only moves in its own little box, so that he ended up cropping himself.

    In other words, I can move the text/logo, but if I nee the original dimensions it cultures. How can I move the entire layer anywhere in the second photo?

    Thank you!

    Not sure you mean 'a facility alpha', but it sounds like you have a layer mask on the layer, (what you describe as "his own little box")... and it is not "bound" to the layer.

    IF I not mistaken on the layer mask, look for a small symbol link (String) between the layer and the thumbnails of the mask layer in the layers panel. The behavior you describe is a symptom of the link being in a broken state. Click on this symbol to link to UN-break the link. Now you should be able to move and transform the contents of the layer as you like, and the layer mask will respond with it.

  • How to copy a layer to another photo?

    My photos are all consolidated in tabs.

    I thought it was possible for example, select a text layer click and hold, then drag it to a different photo tab and release. This would copy the text layer from the first, on the second.

    Well I can't make it work. If instead to consolidate in tabs, I select float all in windows, THEN I can drag and drop my layers on another photo.

    Surely, this is still possible if all the photos are on legs?

    Be sure to drag the image, not the layers panel

  • Can I find and replace an object? And I can copy styles from another file InDesign?

    Hi all

    I hope someone has a solution to these two...:

    First, I have a line object between two text frame, and I want to change the thickness and color, no problem, it's

    the problem is I have 100 of them and now I'm a one, is it all find and replace for an object?

    Secondly, is it possible to copy a style from another file InDesign without synchronization of all styles in a book file?

    I'll be very grateful for an answer!

    Thank you

    Vraja

    In the find and Replace dialog box, there is a tab object. You can find your line by its attributes and change. I suggest the setting up and style object and replace all your lines of this style. In this way, the next time you need to change them, you can change the style.

    Regarding the copy of a style of an InDesign document to another. You can just copy something to the style and paste it into the document you want to move to.  (This will not work if the style of the same name exists in the file you are pasting to. In this case, your stuck item would take on the attributes already defined in the new file).

  • How can I get text from several fields on a layer, copy a field on another layer?

    A little help please, as he did for years I did any coding of any kind.

    So, I have a document of 4 pages with different types of fields.  I have a document script that gets "TodaysDate" which works perfectly and some other scripts as well.

    So what I try to do is to find a work around for the following:

    I have 3 fields - NAME, first NAME and date of birth.

    Info.jpg

    And I want to what is typed in these fields to fill in 1 field.  And according to this tutorial (http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript) it is not really possible.  At least, I think that's what he said.

    However, I hope that maybe I could have a button to send at the end of this document when you click Copy the text of these 3 areas (that I would on 1 layer) in 1 field on a 2nd layer.  Is it still possible?

    I also want to make the document print, Save (by using the text in the field on the 2nd layer as file name), Email (using the text in the field of the 2nd layer as the subject line) and export to a specific Excel spreadsheet.

    I'm not much I do?

    I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro on a Windows PC, but also have access to Acrobat 8 Professional.  And I want to run the form in Acrobat Reader X.

    So far, I have 3 fields in 1 on another layer:

    function buttonClick() {}

    if(ButtonClick==false)

    {

    Event.Value = This.getField ("Surname"+"-"+"FirstName"+"-" + "DOB") .valueAsString;

    }

    }

    But I don't know how to call the event.value 1 layer to another, or if none of that code above would even work at all.

    I have a script that I works perfectly for registration and Email function:

    Using the function "doc.submitForm ()".

    It is the return e-mail form. Its hard-coded

    to make the shape always comes back to the same address

    Change address on your form

    var cToAddr = " " [email protected] "; "

    First of all, download the customer email CC

    var cCCAddr = this.getField("ClientEmail").value;

    Now get the email recipient if it is filled

    var cBenAddr = this.getField("BennyEmail").value;

    If (cBenAddr! = "") cCCAddr += ';' + cBenAddr;

    Set text object and the body of the e-mail message

    var cSubLine = 'Form X-1 returned to customer'; var cbody = "thank you for submitting your form. \n' + 'save the attachment of e-mail for your own records;

    * Send the form data as an attachment of XML on an e-mail

    Construct the URL to messaging

    var cEmailURL = ' mailto: . " [email protected] ? cc = ' + cCCAddr + '& subject =' + cSubLine + '& body =' + cbody;

    1. this.submitForm({)

    cURL: cEmailURL,.

    cSubmitAs: "XML."

    cCharSet: 'utf-8 '.

    });

    I'll work on export to Excel thing later I saw many tutorials on that.  But I can do the 3 fields to 1 thing at all?

    Help, please!

    First of all, you must understand that in 99% of cases, fields do not exist on layers. The two are separate entities.

    And the code you posted is not correct:

    Event.Value = This.getField ("Surname"+"-"+"FirstName"+"-" + "DOB") .valueAsString;

    You can access each field separately using the getField method, so it should be:

    Event.Value = This.getField ("Surname") .valueAsString + '-' + this.getField("FIRSTNAME").valueAsString + '-' + this.getField("dob").valueAsString;

  • Print file stuck in the coil, the message "unable to copy the name of the file: it is used by another person or program".

    Recently, I tried to capture a job by a break of a print queue, print work and copy the files from the spool (under C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS) before unpausing the queue. However, when I try to copy the files, I get the error message "unable to copy the name of the file: it is used by another person or program". I tried several times with the same result. The only way to get the file off the ground is obviously t reactivate the print queue and they will quickly deteleted shortly after. Is there a way I can recover these files? Assume the change the port in 'File' to make a copy of file is on the table. I ran this in the title of administrator user rights.

    The file you are trying to "capture" you will do some good.  However, if you want to watch or copy it, first stop the print spooler.  Open the Services applet (start > run > services.msc > OK).  Scroll down to "Print spooler" and click "Stop".  Don't forget to restart the print spooler after you copy the file or you will not be able to print.

    If you want to print to a file rather than on paper, there are at least three ways to do it (not counting "Print to a file").

    Using the "Print to file" box will produce a *.prn file.  It contains commands specific to the printer; It cannot be opened by the usual word processor applications; It can be used to print to the printer selected in the print dialog box or printer that uses the same commands to the printer.  For example, you have a printer installed on 1 computer but you have physically moved the printer to computer 2, where it is now installed.  You can check the "Print to file" on the computer 1, save the file to a flash drive *.prn, carry it to computer 2 and then print it out by copying the file to the printer (in a command prompt window).

    1. the best way, IMO, is to print to a PDF using free CutePDF Writer.

    2. you can create a "generic, only the text" printer and select this option when you print.  This produces a *.txt file.  To install the generic/text printer only, follow these steps:

    1. Click the Start button, point to settings, and then click Printers.
    2. Double-click the add printer icon.
    3. Click the next button.
    4. When you are prompted "How is this printer attached to your computer? Click the local printer option button, and then click Next.
    5. In the manufacturers box, click Generic. In the Printers box, click generic/text only, and then click Next.
    6. In the available Ports box, click FILE, and then click Next.
    7. When you are prompted "do you want that your Windows-based programs to use this printer as the default printer?" click the no option button, and then click Next.
    8. When you are guests "would you like to print a test page?" click the no option button, and then click the Finish button.

    3. use the Microsoft XPS Document Writer, which may already be installed on your computer.  "XPS" was Microsoft's attempt to compete with Adobe PDF.  He did not.  Unfortunately, the only way to view a document produced by the XPS Document Writer is using the Microsoft XPS Viewer.

  • Script to copy layer in another open Document/group?

    Hi, I know that this topic has been covered several times before. But to clarify, here's what I asked:

    Copy the active layer/group into another document opened in Photoshop. The easiest way is to go to the «layer/double layer...» ». But it is very tedious. To begin with, when you choose this method and then select the document you want to copy in the menu drop-down, successfully, copy the layer/group for this document, but it is not auto-switch (unlock) in the document, he just copied in. You have to hit 'Ok', and then manually search through the open documents list via (window / * choose your document *) to get there. It is a nightmare when you try to do several times.

    Here's what I asked:

    It is possible to:

    (a) copy the active layer/group in the Clipboard/memory

    (b) switch to another document in Photoshop * via a personalized menu * which shows all existing documents

    (c) one time positioned on the new document, paste this layer/group from the Clipboard into this document

    .. is this possible?

    At the very least, is there scripts that anyone knows of that allows the user to switch between existing documents via a custom instead of going to the window menu / * choose your document *?

  • Copy of 5 layers (or a set of layer) to another open document

    Hello

    I have 2 open documents. The former has 5 layers. I need these 5 layers to the second open document. And that's my problem. The 5 layers creates a composition. So if I copy one by one, the position related to other layers will change.

    In my script tried linking layers before copying. Without success. Tried to create a layerSet, but did not find any method to copy this layer defined in the second document :/

    No idea how to copy the 5 layers of another document?

    Thank you very much

    Gustavo.

    Using copy and paste or layer.duplicate? Duplicate will retain all the data layer including position. If the documents are of the same size and the res, dupped layer will be in the same place, they were in the original document.

    If you copy and paste you need to get the layer boundaries in the original Victorinox then use layer.translate to move them into the correct position after the paste.

  • How to copy a layer Style to one layer to another PSE9

    I'm copying 'fx' of an image to another, but when I try to drag to the next picture, it doesn't seem to work someone could help

    I held the ALT key and dragging but no luck...

    Title of the message was edited by: Brett N

    One way is to copy and paste the layer styles:

    1. right click on the layer with the layer style, and then choose the copy layer Style

    2. choose another layer and right-click and choose Paste layer Style

    (or select all of the layers that you want to copy the layer style to choose the paste layer Style)

    The above work equally between different documents.

    With the help of PSE9, how a copy a layer and its mask layer to another image?

    Online Help includes a topic on how to copy a layer but try the different methods in the help topic results in either nothing copied or just the layer without his mask layer is copied.  Thank you.

    How did you get a copy?  If you float your images so that they are both partially visible in the work area, make one with the being copied the active layer.  Then, drag the layer in the layers palette on the other image.  Now you should have both the layer mask on the second image.

  • Numbers - how to import external data to a cell in a single file into a new cell in another file?

    Numbers - how to import external data to a cell in a single file into a new cell in another file?

    I want to do the same thing in numbers (3.6.2 (2577) I used to do in Excel (any version):)

    to import a calculation of a cell in a file in a new cell in another file.

    Example: I want to import the result of a sum in a specific cell of my accountant in August to a cell in comparison in my accounting of September.

    It was so easy in Excel. Until the reference computer broke down.

    By the numbers, I tried to copy - paste the contents of the cell formulated, but not good.

    No help manual online or anywhere. I think that maybe the function is absent in number.

    Then I return to MicroSoft Excel, that I have used for many years and I am sorry to say feel much more wysiwyg.

    Formulas in a numbers document cannot reference cells in other documents of numbers.

    "Much more wysiwyg" is another way to express what many of those who "used (MS Excel) for many years" expressed as "more intuitive. These two descriptions usually boil up to ' what I'm used to, ", which is also true in the other sense.

    Whatever the real explanation, the standard advice is "the tool that will do the job." If "the job" requires referencing values in a separate document, the numbers (alone and without the help of AppleScript) are not the best tool for this job.

  • copy or duplicate in sharing files cannot point

    IM currently on 5.0.15 Server with OSX 10.11.3 3 computers (clients) on OSX 10.11.5 and have found that they can not copy or duplicate in sharing files to point to the server. When you attempt to reproduce or copy a file you get the following message "unable to connect to the server because the name or password is incorrect." However copy on another share point is fine. Just won't work in this share point. Moving the file is fine. Any other Client computers are on OSX 10.11.4 or lower do not experience this problem. Should I update it with OS and App Server and hope that this question will far more recent?  Thank you

    I just checked using the latest version of the Server 5.1.5 and client OS X 10.11.5. and duplication and copying files works very well for the actions of the SMB and AFP.

    If you have only tested using higher level, create a folder and see if the problem occurs when you are working on files inside this folder. If it isn't, then you have your bad permissions/ownership/ACL on the server. You should check the ACL as well as Posix ownership and permissions.

    Also, try to remove the part in the sharing Panel and then Server to add it again.
