congrats

here's a tip to cover your excitement ;)


<tip type="photoshop" author="isaac">

need to duplicate a bunch of layers quickly? make sure they're linked, and
then drag them across to a second view of the same image.

how do you get a second view if you don't already have one? View > New View.

if you have 2 monitors, why are secondary views helpful? they allow you to
stay in touch with the image always at 100% without guides, while you zoom
around the original, tweaking everything.

want an alternative just for the hell of it? ctrl-n a new doc, make it a big
enough size to cover the dimensions of your layers, and then drag across
your linked layers to that. then grab them again, and drag them back to your
original doc.

from memory, don't drag from the layers palette, but drag the layer within
the image itself.

this works on pshop5. not sure about earlier versions.
