Effect copy of layer

[GKN]

I want to copy or transfer effects on the layer to another layer. This is really needed.

Select the source layer in the Layers panel. Right-click and choose Copy, or use the menu Edit > Copy.

Select the target layer. Use the menu Edit > Paste FX.

Thanks for the response. But isn't it more practical to drag and drop?

Not with the current design. If you try to drag and drop you drag the entire layer, not just the effect.

I suppose they could allow clicking on the fx icon and dragging it, and assuming you can click accurately enough that would work. But using the menus makes it unambiguous what you're trying to do, and does provide the function you asked for.

Yeah, that makes sense. Anyway, I've assigned a shortcut and made it easier. Thanks for the help.

I want to ask one more thing. The properties I copied are changing in different layers. The values I set are changing. Do you have any information about this?

[walt.farrell]

Sorry, no, I don't have much experience doing that. Perhaps someone else will have more experience.

However, I might wonder if the two pixel layers have the same dimension, or if either has been resized (transformed). And if either was resized, whether you specified Scale with Object on the Layer Effects panel.
