How to put 2 PSD's on 1 image?

How can you put 2 PSD's on 1 image?

You could save one of them as a image file type (.png for example) and drag that .png file to the other .psd window

I would avoid saving it as a different file type etc - you will run into all sorts of problems.

You can simply drag the photoshop layer from one image into another. If you need to move all layers then I think you can select them all using shift or ctrl and drag them all across.

Yea or that, I was suggesting my way to him incase he would encounter unwanted layer lighting, colours, effects etc on things he didn't want them on.
So thats why I said maybe something like a .png so its just one layer

[Disjuku]

Ah - right. If that is a problem then I would try the 'flatten visible' to flatten them into one layer instead.

I think PNGs are usually Ok, however, from my experience working in print, any file type change is tempting fate as far as colour changes etc goes.

problem...

when I download a PSD of a site it opens automatically and i lose my other work,,,

[Disjuku]

You shouldn't loose your other work - it's probably hiding behind the new file.

How do you get it un hidden?
