Re: Cut and paste between layers (PS6)

Hi,

I'm trying to cut and paste part of an image between one layer and
another. Everytime I try to paste, it creates a new layer. How can I paste
into an existing image?

The reason I want to do this is that I have spent a long time creating a
layer mask. I forgot to set up the image before i created the mask so now
I'm trying to copy paste the image into the layer.

Jay.

OK after pasting (it always makes a new layer) use LAYER>Merge down to
combine with the underneath one or merge visible, if you want

or duplicate the masked layer and throw out just the mask not the image?
