Adding layers

Post by Dirtnapper »

In PSP X8 is there a way to add multiple images to layers without copy, paste new layer for each image? Thanks.

Hi! Copy your image from its source, then go to your new image and "paste as new selection". That will add the image to your current layer. You can add as many images as you want to one layer.

Hope this helps!

With the image open in the workspace,right click the layer and Promote Background Layer so the image is a Raster. Have the other images you wish to use in the organiser and visible. Drag an image from the Organiser by clicking down with left mouse click and hold, drag the image up to the Raster Layer then let go. The new image will sit on its own layer, but sit on top of the base image.
The image on top of the image can be moved around by using the Move Tool.

If the images you want to add as layers are also open in your workspace you can simply put each of those image in focus (i.e. click on the title bar of an image to make it the active image) and then drag the layer from the layers palette onto the main image to which you want to add layers.
