 |
|
Can I copy from more than one layer at a time, without merging the layers together? If there's a way to do this it would save me a ton of time (working on animated sprites for a video game).
Thanks

Hey there,
You could try the Copy Merged command in the Edit menu.
Hope that helps

The only way I know to do it would be to place the layers you want to copy inside a group. Then copy the group. |

If you use the standard copy command you'll copy only the active layer. If you use copy merged you'll copy whatever is inside the selection regardless of what layer it's on. Strange but if the image was merged into one flat layer there wouldn't really be any use to the command!
Hope that clears things up

I took the OP's original question to mean that he wanted the original layers to remain on individual layers after the copy. My misunderstanding. |
