Yep.

Have 'her' in her own PSD file...separate from the one you are currently using......but still keep this current one as a 'working' PSD.

In the one you are currently using use File > Place Linked and select the new PSD with 'her' in it.

This will place 'her' in the current doc as a smart object. From here you can duplicate it as you've done before for however many copies you need....just treat it as a normal layer.....or look up 'Smart Objects' if you want to know more about them.

If you need to adjust 'her' then do it in 'her' PSD file.......when you save that file the current one will auto update....or any other PSD file that has it 'Linked' to it.

This way you only need to change the 'source' PSD file to affect the 'Target' PSD file.....regardless of how many copies there are.

Regards.
MrTom.
