Scaling mouth sets

[Michael5EB1]

Is there an easy way to scale mouth sets?

I scale in photoshop/illustrator. In illustrator the trick was to make the layer visible before scaling and moving otherwise only the visible single layer changed.

Thanks alank!  I kind of tried that but made a mess of things because I got things off center and the mouths did not properly clip each other.  I guess I just need to be more careful.

I will not admit publicly that I get it wrong 50% of the time myself and have to go back and fix it later....

Uh, this is really weird, but I just selected the mouth layer in PS and copied it and renamed it "Sad mouth" and suddenly all of the mouth positions were "sad".  I swear, I didn't have to modify the graphics at all.  Could it be that smart?

I would be VERY surprised if it was that smart. Maybe YOU are just smarter than you realized? 😉
