How To Copy Vector Layer Or Selection Between Two Document?

Short and sweet this one...

Is it possible to remove the layer name from the active document tab?

When I have a text layer selected the whole text is displayed in the tab meaning the tab can be as wide as the whole workspace!
(Which is right PITA when you have more than 1 document open)

Is there a way to copy layers from one Photoshop document to another? I was working on a project earlier on that required this but I didn't know how this could have been done. (Procedure not as simple as Illustrator, where a simple Ctrl | Cmd + C and Ctrl | Cmd + V would work.)

I apply a screen blending mode to an object with another layer beneath. I want to copy the first layer with the result from the blending mode into a seperate document. When I copy I get the layer without the blending result.
Is there a way to do this without merging the layers and then selecting the part I need?

Hallo everybody,
following a tut about Photoshop compositing, I have to create a fake shadow on the ground. I make it pretty good (see image 1) using tre different layer copy with different blendings mode and Opacity.




But when i Merge three layer i loose my semitransparent shadow...it becomes completely black, at the starting point...
(see image 2)



What it wrong?

And than, if I want to blur the (unique) faked shadow layer, how can i male it without blurring all layers of the document? I try to use an empty layer as a Clipping mask, and I applied blur to it, without results...
please help!

Thx!

Its probably me again but the 'Load Files into Stack...' script in PS CC 2014 doesn't seem to want to play.

[ With no document open and loading a list of 5 images ]
I get two documents created, one with just the last file in the list opened and the other with a blank layer, the same image as the other document and a vertical guideline way off to the left.

This works fine in PS CC but not in 2014.
(CS6 works ok too)

Can anyone just confirm if its me or if it really doesn't work in 2014.

Many thanks.

Regards.

Hello,
I wondered if someone would hear me out and possibly help or advise me.
In the attachment there is a great picture of a bass jumping with the sky and sunset in the background.
I added a white paw to the sky and hope to make it look or blend in as a beleivable cloud in the sky.
My novice thoughts about how I might do this was as follows:
1) create and save a precise selection of the paw with a close detailed trace (I am having trouble donig this ste) and save the selction.
2) take that selection to the background copy layer and delete all the area inside that selection
3) take the background copy for cloud breakthrough layer and place it below the background copy layer with color enhancements to show through the holes in the background copy layer.

there is also a cloud paw layer which I aborted efforts working with.

-Bottom line is I am looking for a cloud paw in the sky which looks good, an orange emphasis is desired.

If you can do some work in the file and post it back up or at least advise how you would reccomend I try and go about it would be greatly appreciated.
BTW - The selection process really giving me fits with the idea I had, If you know of a great selection tutorial please send me some info.

Thanks,
Joe

Hi everyone, new to the forum so what an excellent way to introduce myself - throwing myself at your feet and begging for your
collective help!!

I've been designing A2 posters for past few weeks and they have all gone well. I've now been put to task designing a 25 meter by 2.4 meter
display for a large wall at work.

The problem is, I'm unsure of how I should go about this - creating a 1/2 or even 1/4 scale document makes the file size at the smallest 1.5GB
(1/4 size and 300dpi) and I can only save as a PSB, TIFF or RAW. The printer is requesting a PDF.

I'm by no means whatsoever a graphic designer so my understanding of resolution is limited to my photography and videographer knowledge.

Can anyone suggest document settings that I can use for this document please? I really am struggling and it needs to be to the printers by Friday morning.
ARGH!

People viewing the board are to be standing approx. 1.5m closest to it, if that's of any use.

I'd been setting things up at:

Width: 6250mm
Height: 600mm
300dpi

This is scaled to 1/4 size of final arrangement and comes in at 1.5GB as I've said but i can only save as PSB, not PDF.

If anyone can help me I shall name my firstborn after you and toast to your health daily with much merriment!

All the best and many thanks in advance,

Matt, the design moron.

I have some questions about a new layer vs. a layer copy. Let's say I am retouching a head shot. First I copy the Background layer (Ctrl-J) and clear up blemishes with the Spot healing brush. Next I want to soften some skin shine with the Patch tool and I want that on it's own layer. As I have tried various ways of doing this, it appears that I have copy either the Blemish layer or the Background. If I copy the Background layer, the the stacking order is critical: it has to be below the Blemish layer for the blemish fix to show. Copying the Blemish layer, then the Blemish fix is part of the Shine layer which defeats the purpose of a separate layer. New layer does not work for using the Patch tool, or I may be doing some completely wrong.

Then add another skin fix like soften the skin (Gaussian blur) and I'm really tied up with stacking order, etc.

Can someone help me with the correct order/procedure for creating layers that would be used like above.

Mixed up...

Hi everybody!I was drawing on my tablet in Photoshop. I just saved my work in PSD extension (as I always do because it allows me to use it in different programs like Photoshop,Corel,IllustStudio and SAI without merging the layers), then I went and added few more 'dots' on it, then saved it again so I can get out of the program, but whole computer froze and I waited for atleast 5-7 min but it wouldn't unfreeze itself so I manually restarted it. When I turned it on and went to check on my file, it wouldn't want to open in neither of the programs I have!Every program kept saying: ' Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document.'Please help me, I've been doing this piece whole day, and it's one of my best works ever, I really don't want to loose it.Thanks all.
