Repeat last command on photoshop

Question

Hi !I have to work on a very high number of visuals very quickly and I must be very precise in my movement so each and every of my visuals will look the same at the end.So I don't want to use arrows on my keyboard as they are not very precise, especially if my visuals are not exactly the same size/height.So I need to use "actions" (or scripts) to achieve my work efficently.The files i'm working on have 3 layers :1 - the product2 - its drop shadow3 - a white backgroundI want the product to be centered in the file with the exact same drop shadow as before but I can't find a "repeat last command" or "repeat move" on photoshop.The "repeat last tranformation" doesn't work as no transformation has been done on the layer "product", just a movement.Does anyone has an idea for this ?Thanks a lot

Thanks c.pfaffenbichlerI know scripts a little bit and i also know that they don't like when you use the mouse and when you click to select a layer, because its name will be on the script.That's why I prefer using shortcuts to navigate through layers instead of using my mouse.Navigating through the layers into a script isn't a problem.I'd like Photoshop to write "center the layer horizontally" and "center the layer vertically" instead of "shifting layer"Sorry if i'm not crystal clear, my english is a little rustyAre you a French speaker? Because I think in the French version »Actions« are called »Scripts«, which is misleading because Photoshop Scripts are something different, files written in VB, AS or ideally JavaScript. And within those identifying and addressing Layers would need something that applies to all the files (naming or order or …), but if all files contain exactly three Layers with the topmost being the »object«, the middle one the »shadow« that would suffice to get reproducable results.

I may not follow but two options seem to present themselves:

• Link the two Layers before moving them

• instead of just moving apply a Transform that only includes movement, that could be re-applied to the other Layer
