Pasting to selected layer
|
|
| ronviers@gmail.com 2007-03-01, 6:14 am |
| Hi,
I am trying to paste a selection into a layer but each time I try PS
creates a new layer. I do not want a new layer. I tried Paste Into but
that didn't work either. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Ron

Paste, then Merge with the layer you want it on.

Nothing. Photoshop always creates a new layer on paste.
That shouldn't cause any real problems; it will produce results that
look the same as if the paste had merged the pixels into the layer
below. If you want the pasted part of the image to move with the layer
below, you can just link the layers together.
If for whatever reason the pasted layer *must* be part of the layer
below, simply merge the layers together after you paste. I can't think
of many situations where that is necessary, though.

If I knew what I was doing it would not be necessary but because I
cannot get the other tools to do what I need them to do, for purposes
of organization, I wanted to keep all of this repair type on a single
layer.
The thing I need to do is replace pixels in one part of a layer with
pixels of another part of the same layer but I want the replacement
pixels to be on the layer above not on the same layer. I have finally
resorted to copy/paste but I am sure there is a way. I guess I could
lasso and Tile but in this case there is not much difference. Or maybe
a Smart object with a fill layer and a clipping mask but that is not
simpler. Anyway, I am just thinking out loud, I will try again after
lunch.
Thanks,
Ron

You can do that with the clone tool.

It is definitely your innate ability and process to invent partial or
complete personal realms within the mind from elements derived from
sense perceptions of the shared world.

Dear Ron,
You are not doing anything wrong. Adobe Photoshop by default creates a new layer whenever you paste something. However, if you want to paste in the same layer, then use the Paste Into option in the Edit menu.
However, the Paste Into option does not function unless there is some portion of your desired layer is selected. So before pasting on your desired layer, please make a selection larger than the image your are pasting. And then click Paste Into.
To make the selection, it is always wise to create a Clipping Path / masking with Photoshop Pen Tool.

Technically that would be Minnesootan. But even there my southern
drawl worked for and against me. The girls liked it while the
executives and lawyers reacted like it was fingernails on a chalkboard.

New Zealand accent works well with the girls in the US, but makes certain aspects of technical discussions difficult.
The former is useful for liesure-related activities, the latter can be a problem for work-related activities.

Hehe
I speak NY-ese, a soft version close to TV English
some people can hear it though
Yankees do tend to under estimate a Southern gentlemen's intelligence due to
the accents, not always a wise decision.
and Southern women can cut you down ever so politely....venom dipped in
honey...honey
My step-dad (raised in Tennessee, lived in Louisiana) could name the state
and region of almost any southerner...

For my tastes New Zealand is one of the top locations on the planet
for a photographer. The flora and fauna is so unique and crazy. Maybe
I would choose, Seychelles Islands, deep ocean floor then New Zealand
for my ultimate photography vacation - then back to Prague.
Plus a giant coconut landing on my head would be a great way to go -
second only to a piece of landing gear.

Ok, that works perfectly; it even allows me to use a selection on the
destination layer - very handy.
Thanks,

New Yorker eh? That explains a lot.
Thanks for the link, it was fun but I fell through the cracks,
probably because I have lived in so many places.
