badpenny Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Here's my situation. I have pdn file that has mutiple layers so when I go to the one I want to copy to another canvas entirely, I used the lasso selection tool and copy. Well, it did but what it copied was a blank lasso with the nubs around it. I think (I was just trying any and everthing to get it to copy the image not a blank.) I think! I made a duplicate layer and then it showed up. Is that the way to transfer one layer's image into another canvas? Or is there a surer and easier way.

SAND33P Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Are you sure you are on the right layer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badpenny Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 yes, because I put a new layer on top of the existing image (destination image) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badpenny Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 Layer two (on the same image now) is the source from which I'd like to copy. Layer three is the destination copy. So how do I get layer two on layer three? PLEASE... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minners71 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 The following pic should help. Make sure you have the correct layer selected in the case above I wish to copy the blue rounded rectangle so I click on layer 3 in the layer window ( where the bottom orange arrow points ) Then press CTRL+A ( this selects all ) CTRL+C ( this copies ) followed by CTRL+ALT+V ( this pastes into a new project as shown where the top arrow points, you can then select each project just by clicking on them ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badpenny Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 minners71, thank you. Scott, no need to get feisty! I also have your book but (too) often you say: Here's how to do it, but you never say: And this is where you'll use it, or why you'll use it. You know the answers and I guess you expect us all to be at the level you are. If so, you're wrong! Beides which it didn't always work. I think you said something about transparency or not holding down the "A" key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
