How to replace a layer that has a mask applied without affecting the mask?

I have a layer with a photo.  I animated a mask to this layer, but now the client wants the picture replaced by another.  When I add a new photo in a new layer and copy the properties of the good work the mask layer mask lands in a different location than the original.  I tried to make a replacement of the images with the source photo try to make the new photo but the same results, the mask always gets repositioned.

How can I replace an image on a layer that has a mask run on it by another without affecting the mask?

Thank you

Steve

If they are of different sizes, use the old layer as a track matte for the new.

  • How to duplicate a smart object and then modify it, without affecting the original?

    I have an element of vector illustrator that I am placed in a t-shirt mockup in photoshop. I have the provision essentially how I want, but I'm trying different color variations. I think that simply duplicate the initial placement and then change the color of the copy resulting, but this affects both the copy and the original. I looked into it a little further and found that I should try the option "replace contents" under smart objects, and that it would change the copy. Then I go back to illustrator, made a copy of the original vector and then the color change I had in mind and then saved as a separate document that I could use then by replacing the contents of the copy. However, still affects two smart objects!

    I tried this like linked smart objects and smart objects shipped without success.

    In the end, I just want to maintain the position of the original layer with the layer duplicated and edited. If you know a better way, please share!

    Layer > Smart Object > new Smart Object by copy. It forks a new, independent so (cut and paste or duplicate maintains the link between them).

  • Adding a layer that has a different aspect ratio or export transparencies.

    CS6 11.0.2.12 on Windows 8

    Hello. I have a project which is currently in 720 x 534. I would like to add a layer behind it that has the same height, but is wider and I don't want to spoil all the layers that are made in 720 x 534.

    If I try to change composition settings, it spans my original work.

    I tried to create a new project with the broader framework of the composition and simply import the original video to layer on top. It works, except that I lose the slides of the original.

    How can I add a layer to a project that has a different aspect ratio without affecting the other layers OR export a video with transparencies.

    I hope that makes sense. Thank you.
