stacked layers 2

[zoonose]

Sorry for the mushy post. OK, I made 2 files in Ultrafractal, one with 3 layers, one with 4 layers and saved them as x.psd and y.psd. Now I go to PS and open x.psd. 3 layers show up in the pallete and everything is OK. Now I open y.psd and 4 layers show up and the x.psd with 3 layers disappear. My Q is :how do I combine the x.psd and y.psd into one file in PS with 7 layers? I am a newbie when it comes to PS so please have patience. Thanks.

Open X and Y and put them right next to each other. Pull layers from the layers pallette(the list on the bottom left) from X or Y(it doesnt matter) onto the canvas of X or Y. You can actually drag layers from the layers pallette from one doc onto another, which is not something i found out for a while, and has been very useful to me(especially when i want to save a layer, and also go back to a very early history state)...hope this helps....

I`ve never used Ultrafractal before, so I`m just shooting in the dark, here, but try opening x.psd, and Go File>>Save As and change the filename. (Or maybe duplicate it). Then open y.psd.

Who knows. it`s crazy enough it just might work.

Hey, cool! I didn't know about 'dragging layers' either tranquil222!

Welcome to the forum zoonose. As a 'newbie' to PS, you're sure to learn a lot right here!

Not to mention the ability to drag from other apps into photoshop too...

 

[tranquil222]

Yeah Bubble, thats also a good way to bypass the right-click banning on some really paranoid sites, if you want to...uh...borrow their images

[Bubble]

shhh... not that anyone around here does that though [:I

 

[tranquil222]

Well some sites are just way too paranoid. I dont use them to my own advantage however, just for PS practice, etc.. If youve noticed, everything ive ever posted is my own work
edit: everything except other images that were posted in this forum

 

[Bubble]

No I agree. I irritates me too when you do the good ole right click, then, nothing!! AAARRRHHHHH. But of course, these would/are never used for commercial purposes, just fodder [sly]

If youve noticed, everything ive ever posted is my own work

Yeppers!!!! I can't tell you how many times I've used that 'trick' since I discovered it only yesterday!

[shhh] Hey guys, whenever the old 'right click' doesn't work... just take a screen shot! [sly]

 

[Rantin Al]

Bwaah! | I can't right click! I'm on a Mac, but I'm not complaining.

Even better; save the page to your hard drive (explorer, file, save as...).
There's no web designer who can stop you from doing that

Isnt command(the four leaf clover)+click the equivalent of right clicking on the pc???

 

[Rantin Al]

It's Control + Click on the Mac Tranquil. I don't use it tho', I just Print the whole page to Acrobat.
