Copying from one PSD to exactly same place on another?

[leigh]

Hold down the shift key while dragging.

Also, how could I drag a file directly into a drawing without Photoshop opening it up in a separate file?

I don't think that's possible.

Cool, I try the shift thing and live with the hardship that I'll have to open another PSD to get a new image in!

Thanks

yeah shift-drag a layer, or select what you want, and add a tiny selection to the top left and bottom right of the image in the corners, so the extent of the whole area is selected thren paste that - but shift-drag will work!

If you have layers and you want to copy them all to another document, be sure to go to Edit>Copy Merged. This will give you all your layers.

Just Paste into new doc. I'm pretty sure it will be centered.

Mmmmmm... good one :-) I think I always put them in a folder, worked sometimes, but not always if I remember correctly.

Thanks!

The Shift+drag thing works with multiple layers too.

In addition to the above methods, you can also right click on a layer (or multiple layers or group) and select "duplicate layer". Then in the duplicate dialogue, you can select where the layer goes, from the same file, to a different open file, or to a new file. in all cases, it is positioned where it was in the original.
