Copy and paste layers

Essentially what I want to do is select a precomp, run the script and copy all the contents of the precomp folder in the parent layer. A United Nations-precomp I guess. I thought there was something built to do, but I don't the have not yet found. Is it possible to make this type of operation?

Pseudo-code wise, maybe something like this:

If selectedLayers.length = 1:

myLayer = myComp.selectedLayers [0]

for each element inside myLayer:

Select the item

copy items to precomp

warn if there are any effects or masks on the precomp

paste items into the current model (same level as the precomp)

Remove myLayer

Stupid me...

[Edit] It is an aex file. I was always interested to know how to do that with the scripts if someone has any ideas.

  • Why I didn't copy and paste layers or folders in Photoshop?

    I honestly have a hard time understanding why I can't layers Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V, or folders (with styles and properties) in Photoshop, although I can with other elements in Photoshop and with almost all elements of all software published by Adobe (including the insurmountable more complex layers of an After Effects composition). I have long used different methods to copy layers and folders autour (double drag, etc.), but they can all be very heavy at times depending on the project and this is the specific workflow. For example, I just finished editing on the thirty selected RAW photos of an event in PS and I need either already have my watermark on them that I have edited, each of them or that I do now as a big batch of ol '-note: because I put my mark in a location unique photo based on its content This is the direction and My Eye stocks or batch commands do not work for this). My only option really is to visit the source document containing my watermark layer more than thirty times to retrieve a single item of data which could and should only be required in my Clipboard and available with a simple keyboard shortcut (note also that my brand fusion styles will be also adjusted according to the photo, excludes a selection of brand that can be copy and paste but only as a raster with an alpha channel layer).

    Y at - it an explanation of why it's missing? Maybe there's a logical reason, I do not understand...?

    See you soon!

    Also use ctrl/cmd-J to duplicate (copy) a layer in the same document, which will retain all of its attributes. And as Trevor mentioned, you can just drag the layer in the layer panel to another document tab to replicate to another document - no menus, no workspace rearrangement.

  • Copy and paste multiple objects in Illustrator to Photoshop in the form of multiple layers

    I am working on an application and will stick in hundreds of groups from Illustrator to Photoshop.

    Is there a way I could select all in my Illustrator file and when I paste it into Photoshop it sticks each object as its own layer (I need it to stay Smart Objects).

    Here is a picture of what I'm working on: http://i.imgur.com/bSn7Qew.png

    Each number is a group of several objects and I'd love to be able to copy all and paste into Photoshop as 100 layers rather copy and paste each number one by one.

    In Illustrator make each unique in a compound shape. (use the menu in the pathfinder for this Panel.

    can it be done apart from copy and paste into a new layer?

    If you want to copy (not move) a layer to another file, click and drag the layer in the layers Panel on the other image.

    'Move' means remove the layer from the source file.

  • Copy and paste / offset problems

    Hello

    I had a problem since my last update and I was wondering if someone could help me please...

    Whenever I have copy and paste images between 2 open files illustrator (using Illustrator CC), he applies a lag effect and I have to either extend the form to enter the effects > path > offset path and set it to 0. Does anyone know how to stop this?

    The image below shows an example of this with the bounding box where the left column should be, and where it has been implemented.

    Thanks in advance

    Lena,

    The issue should be resolved with the new patch/update, 19.1, that should solve known issues unresolved with 19.0.1.

    If she does not appear, disconnect and then reconnect the creative cloud application. After that, the 19.1 update must be visible in the creative application of Cloud.

    Default you can move or adapt the work affected (a little), then press Ctrl / Cmd + Z to undo, to get it in place.

    This is a roundabout way to use until the issue is resolved.

    Or you can turn paste remembers layers in the layers panel, if you can live with the side effects.

    Returning to the CC 2014 will be also get rid of him.

  • copy and paste sections

    Is it possible to select and copy and paste a whole section of objects at the same time? For example, if my page is divided into quarters and I wanted four copies of the same thing after it is created in a section, can I copy it all at once, even if it's in layers? Or what I need to copy and paste layer by layer?

    If your page elements are on different layers and you want to maintain the relationship of the layer:

    -Go to flyout panel layer and select the option "paste remembers layers".

    -Select all of the items that you want to duplicate

    -Press the button Option button, click-and - dragging the items to the new position (shortened to copy - paste)

  • Copy and paste the selection of images on the timeline

    I have 2 layers. Layer 1 is a background, layer 2 is a square on top of the background.

    So the first 5 frames of the layer with the square are empty in the next 5 frames the place appears and the square disappears again for 5 executives etc etc..

    The place must be in a position that has taken some time and pixel by pixel, a process that I don't want to have to repeat every time I do the square will apear again.

    When I use ctrl + c on my calendar, which places it in the correct position and paste it into the next set of images him copy in the place, but it is not in the right place? How to copy a part of the timeline by keeping all the images in place?

    If your intention is to make each set of images even then copy and paste the images, not the content of their.  Just select the images in the timeline panel and right click on them... choose copy image.  Create the new keyframe where you want to copy them on and do a right-click and choose Paste images.

  • Copy and paste the help.

    I'm pretty new to this design thing and I am running CS3.

    Basically, I'm trying to copy and paste from a doc on a new photoshop to create textured prints.

    I was able to do it once, and with the notes that I took, I can't figure out on my own.

    Whenever I have paste my selection since the first doc to the next, there is a white border around my selection who shouldn't be there.

    I'm missing a step between flattening and the unlocking of a layer in the first doc the next doc.

    Here's a screen shot that will probably explain this better than I. Any advice will be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

    Screen Shot 2013-07-28 at 11.12.23 PM.png

    The new doc has the reddish background.

    The doc on the extreme left is the only one that I can not understand how to change in a way where I can copy and paste without having this white border around my selection in the new.

    In the Middle, one has been done correctly, I just can't figure out what step I'm missing.

    What can I do to get the result I want?

    Thank you.

    Hello!  Is one simple way to accomplish what you want to use a blending mode multiply.  For example, in the document right in your screenshot with red background, you can select Layer 1, the model with the white border and change the normal to multiply in the Modes of mixing down blending Mode.  See the screenshots below.

    A layer set on multiply darkens only the lower layers, so the white border copied with the texture wouldn't appear on a red background.  You can learn more about the blend mode multiply here: http://www.photoshopessentials.com/photo-editing/layer-blend-modes/multiply/

    I hope this helps!

  • copy and pasting of text from one .psd in another?

    I have 2 layers of text in a .psd anyone I just simply copy and paste into another .psd. I select both layers and link them together, but when I copy and paste into the other .psd just one layer is pasted. How do you do that?

    Thank you.

    It works as it should. If you want to move stuff with maintaining relative positioning, put it in a group or a dynamic object and drag the resulting group / SO to the new document.

  • Copy and paste Images that keep their white background. Help!

    Hello.

    I am currently inking on an old comic I made.

    To save time and cut corners, I created a bunch of images pre drawn like faces, contours of the body, eyes, etc.

    These presets are all saved in a file with each different image on its own layer, and everything was fine.

    Then I you merge all layers (because it starts to get too many of them) and now when I copy an image

    and paste on my BD I get black lines (inks) but I also get the underlying layer blackened by white background.

    Y at - it a bet on, when I copy and paste, paste only the black lines and not the white background?

    Set the layer mode to darken.

  • Copy and paste graphic w/shadow in indesign - loses the transparency

    InDesignScreenSnapz002.jpg

    See the image above... I did a version vector of our company in illustrator logo (all referenced programs are cs5 btw) and it looks great, but when I copy and paste from Illustrator into InDesign, it loses the transparency around the logo. If I place the logo instead, it works fine. The problem is there are about 16 variants of the logo and its MUCH easier to copy and paste from a global file rather than have several files of different logos to be placed.

    General information on how the logo was created: the inner circle is several layers degraded (some with both transparency masks). The white line around the outside edge is a stroke extended, and he had a shadow applied effect (menu aesthetics), that I developed for it would scale correctly when scaling the logo from top to bottom. Here is a link to download the logo: download the logo

    Q: is there any way make InDesign preserve transparency when I copy and paste?

    You would be eternally grateful if someone has a solution that allows me to copy and paste!

    You have to put each version on its own layer in Illustrator and place the file I. Choose display options, cultures of the bounding box and select the appropriate layer.

    You going to have successful copy/paste with shadows that would be better applied in the ID anyway.

  • simple copy and paste problem

    I must not have my image correctly recorded or marked or whatever the button is not pressed.  I have an image I want to copy and then paste on another page.  In addition, grab and drag I should be able to "copy" and "Paste" on another page.  What I'm missing here?  Here is a view of my screen that shows what I'm trying to copy.  Something must not be ticked off or something.

    copy image.jpg

    Your source image, press Ctrl + A (select all) and then Ctrl + C (copy), navigate to your image of the destination and Ctrl + V (paste). Note: Layers can keep copy & pasting, so approach all those in the source image.

    Good luck

  • Losing layer and names during the copy and pasting information

    I have an illustrator CS4 file which is a character created in a single layer.  Within this layer are many sublayers, with specific naming conventions.  For example, there is a head entitled layer, and within the head's eyes nose mouth etc. When I copy and paste into another document all my layer information is destroyed. Any ideas?

  • Takes are silent when copied and pasted into the new track

    After recording several takes of a vocal part and a model gliding around how I like it, I decided to dub the voices and use another part of the (unused) takes.

    I created a new title in doubles (CMD - D) and pasted the vocal track (including), but the new double track is silent.  I can see the track and everything going out there and tried to remove plugins, copy and paste in different ways, but the track and just stay silent.  I can see them all here in the new track, and all that I can see, they should be heard.
