Select, copy and paste layer masks

Hello

I am a beginner when it comes to Photoshop, so my vocabulary can be a little off. I'll try my best to explain my situation. Let me know if I do not make sense, or if you need more details.

I have problems using a mask to create a selection that I can then use to paste a background image in an another PSD. I have isolated the part of the image that I want to select using a layer mask successfully, but when I try to copy/paste from an another PSD, the image appears as the "shadow" or the black silhouette that I used for the background of the original PSD image through the mask.

It is logical that this is happening because I select the mask which is only a black outline of the image I wanted to show through the second layer. But I saw on a tutorial that someone could "turn the mask in a selection that appears around the mask, so that you can then cut out the object and paste it into a different environment."

Here is the reference. It is the last two images in the tutorial:

Using layers with Photoshop masks

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!

To load the mask as a selection:

Hold down the CTRL key and click on the mask, now, the selection will be charged.

Then click on the thumbnail of the layer (NOT on the mask) and copy or cut the layer for any other destination

  • 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)

  • Problem with copying and pasting the bottom like a layer

    I use Photoshop elements 14.  I used the Polygonal Lasso to select part of an image and to turn off the Cup in a new layer.  I opened the image I want to use as the background to place the cutting on.  I select all and then copy and paste it into the file with the cutting.  What appears as a layer of this background in cutting a file image is a tiny part of the original image.  For example, the original image is a photo of the entire landscape and all that glue in the bottom layer is a small part of the sky.  I changed the resolution of the original background photo and the file with the cutting at the same resolution and that did not help.  How can I get the whole background photo to appear as a layer of the file cut on the Photo?

    If I understand your problem, using this example, I selected the background flower later and placed on a new layer, layer 1. Then I selected the field of the whole flower to another image and and copy/pasted on layer 2. The problem is not so much the resolution of 2 photos but rather their pixel dimensions. In this example, the dimensions of the field of flowers were much smaller than the image of the close-up.

    I resized and then 2 layer to fill the drawing area:

    Perhaps it would be easier to pick the flower of the image enlarged and paste the selection in the field of flower photo. Then, you can resize and reposition the flower according to the needs:

    If this isn't your scenario, please specify.

  • 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.

    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.
