Copy layers between PS files in same position?

[Guest]

Does anyone know how you copy layers between photoshop documents by drag & drop and have the layers placed in the same position?

If the images are both the same size, hold shift while dragging...

Documents are different sizes.

Try this:

1. Select Duplicate layer from the layers panel flyout in your source document.

2. In the dialog, specify your target document as the destination for the duplicate.

I don't think I get this....

How can the copied items be in the same place if the two documents are different sizes?

It places the layer according to it's x and y co-ordinates. So sometimes the objects on the layer may not be visible in the new document if it is smaller than the original.
