copy text one file to another?


Recommended Posts

I'm a New user and pretty stupid about  working with images.

I want to make multiples  copies of an image that has text on it with some changes to the basic image but keeping a good deal of the text . I need to make a new file to change the  basic underlying image  and would love to not have to retype the text  over and over again each time. Is there a way to copy a text element from one file and paste it into another. I haven't had any luck yet. 

 

On an iMac

 

Thanks Lenny

If it's truly text (and shown as a text layer in the Layers panel), just select the layer in the Layers panel, Copy, and Paste into the new document.
