Copy a shape layer to another image?

photodrawken Jul 31, 2012 3:35 PM

The only way I've found to copy a shape layer from one image to another is to have both images showing in the Editing pane and to drag and drop the shape layer from the Layers panel onto the other image.

That's a rather tedious process. Is there another way to do it, hopefully a keyboard combo?

One way is to use Duplicate Layer and in the destination menu choose the other open document.
If your using tabs you should be able to drag the shape from the document area using the move tool to the other tab and drop into the document.

Excellent! That works much quicker than what I was doing, and is even faster than the "Duplicate Layer" method. Thanks.
