How to paste selections not loosing their position
|
|
|
| Hi,
let's say I have a layer with no background and an object, inside the layer,
smaller then the canvas.
If I select all the canvas (ctrl-a) then I copy the selection inside the
clipboard only the object is stored inside the clipboard, so when I paste it
back on a different canvas the image is pasted in the middle of the
destination canvas. Is there a way to make PS store the entire layer inside
the clipboard so the object doesn't loose it's position?

You could copy the object to buffer then do a 'file new' so the
dimensions will be the same for a new document. Then instead of
pasting the object into the new document you can 'shift drag' the
object from source document to the new one with the move tool.

| if I got it right the first part could be done using duplicate image and
anyway using the drag of a layer from an image to a second image doesn't
keep the position of the layer, in fact often it's pasted as PS please, even
partially outside the canvas.

Keep the Shift-key pressed when dragging.

Ctrl-J for Layer Via Copy; Shift-Ctrl-J for Layer Vis Cut.
In both cases the object will be pasted exactly in the position it was
originally. No long procedure necessary. I am amazed that this basic
command is apparently not well known here.

| right, it isn't a trivial matter because you usually don't really need it.
Thanks.

| hmm, I tryed ctrl-j, it simply duplicates the current layer into the same
image (I usually drag the layer on the "create new layer" icon in the layer
palette).
Holding the shift while dragging the layer inside a different image works
fine but it can't be recorded.
Better than nothing but if you guys know of a recordable way to make it
would be great.

SHIFT DRAG! Like the man said.
And dragging an image doesn't require more memory. It is the way to go.
