1. Re: copy merged and place in exact postion
Ed Hannigan Apr 16, 2008 4:14 AM (in response to lister110@hotmail.com)You already know...Select All is the key. If you keep the selection you used to Copy Merged, it should paste in the same place. -
2. Re: copy merged and place in exact postion
lister110@hotmail.com Apr 16, 2008 4:33 AM (in response to lister110@hotmail.com)no it doesn't work, some of the elements don't always fill the whole window, ie a bottle clipped (sitting on a transparent BG) and retouched. Then Ill copy all the layers and paste merged to a new layer. But it doesn't save in the exact co-ordinates.

4. Re: copy merged and place in exact postion
lister110@hotmail.com Apr 16, 2008 5:16 AM (in response to lister110@hotmail.com)Sorry, if I make a selection for the elements and copy merged and paste, a new layer is created in the correct position.
But I thought just by selecting all (no objects) so the whole window gets selected and then I paste the copy merged, I was hoping it would paste in place.

Ed Hannigan Apr 16, 2008 5:24 AM (in response to lister110@hotmail.com)In general, Paste puts the elements in the exact center of a selection. That's what is happening when you maintain the original selection. Try moving the selection (marching ants) or make a large marquee and Paste. See what happens? -

(J_Maloney) Apr 16, 2008 6:08 AM (in response to lister110@hotmail.com)You can always command-click on the layer icon that sets the bounds (your bottle) and then paste. Of course, sometimes you have no idea what sets the bounds -- that's why you're using copy-merged!
