Copying a single layer is very easy: Simply drag the layer (or the layer name from the Layers palette) over another document. If you hold down the Shift key as you drag, the layer will be dropped in the center of the other document, or, if the other document is the same size as the first document, then the layer is placed in the same position.
To copy multiple layers, link the layers in your first document before you drag over your second document. This trick only works from the document pasteboard itself, and not from the layers palette. (Thanks to the kind reader who contributed this tip!)
When opening QuarkXpress EPS files or generic postscript files from Photoshop, make sure you open them in the same colour space as the one used in the original source document. In other words, if a QuarkXpress document that uses CMYK colours is saved as an EPS, then open the EPS in CMYK mode in Photoshop. If you don't, you run the risk of colours being incorrectly interpreted.
Photoshop 5.5 and Illustrator 9
Photoshop 5.5 does not recognize EPS files saved from Illustrator 9: Make sure you downsave them as version 8 EPS files.
