Best way to copy a layer to another project that is already open?

[Windows7]

Hi guys,

Maybe a stupid question to the most of you all but i'm sure there is a better way then i do it and that's why i ask.

If i have 2 documents open in ps and i want to copy a layer to another projects next to it i click on that i can view the both next to each other and i drag&drop.

But isn't there a way to drag and drop WITHOUT to have the view that both are visible next to each other?

Or how do you do that?

copy one image then paste to the other after you open window

It's weird man but if i want to copy paste just one layer i can't select it when i click on "edit" in the upper bar.. . I can't select copy layer or cut layer.. it's not highlighted!?

click on layer you want to copy (in layers window) select all, copy........ there, the clipboard has it. now paste where you want it

Ok man thank you very much!!! So now there is really no need to first click the view to see both of the projects next to each other to drag&drop! The problem was when i sometimes have maybe 5 projects open.. .

THANK YOU!!!
