limey

Is it possible to copy or crop a portion of a layered picture and still retain the layers ?

If I copy merged I lose the layers and if I try to copy normally I only seem to copy one of the layers.

I normally use a rectangular marquee and Image > Crop rather than the crop tool and it keeps all the layers. So if you want just a portion of an image but don't want to destroy the original, how about duplicating the image and cropping it? (Maybe I don't quite understand what you are trying to do, though.)

That's exactly what I want to do it worked perfectly, I wanted to crop some of the picture but I wanted to retain the layers.
Thanks again Welles
