How Do You Copy and Paste Multiple Layers in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 11:24 am

There are a few different ways that you can copy and paste multiple layers in Photoshop. One way is to use the ‘Select All’ command, followed by the ‘Copy’ command, and then paste the layers into a new document.

Another way is to use the ‘Layer’ menu, followed by the ‘Duplicate Layer’ command. You can also use the ‘CTRL+J’ shortcut to duplicate layers.

If you’re using the ‘Select All’ method, you’ll first need to select all of the layers that you want to copy and paste. You can do this by clicking on the first layer, holding down the ‘Shift’ key, and then clicking on the last layer.

Alternatively, you can click on the first layer, hold down the ‘CTRL’ key, and then click on each individual layer that you want to select. Once all of the desired layers are selected, press ‘CTRL+C’ to copy them.

Now that the layers are copied, you can create a new document and paste them in. To do this, go to ‘File > New > Blank File’.

In the ‘Width’ and ‘Height’ fields, enter the dimensions that you want for your new document. Make sure that the ‘Resolution’ is set to 300 Pixels/Inch and that the ‘Color Mode’ is set to RGB Color. Once you’ve entered these settings, click on the ‘OK’ button.
