Adobe Photoshop CS5
Using the familiar copy-and-paste technique, you can quickly duplicate objects in your design. In this procedure, you’ll also use a keyboard shortcut to duplicate and move an object in one action.
- Using the Selection tool, select the crane graphic, and choose Edit > Copy.
- Choose Edit > Paste. A duplicate of the crane and its frame appears in the center of the window.
- Drag the new crane graphic up into the purple background area on page 4so that the lower edge snaps into position with the guide at 22 picas on the vertical ruler.
- Choose View > Fit Spread in Window.
- Hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) and drag the crane graphic to page 5. When you release the mouse, you’ll see that by using the Alt or Option key, you have moved a new copy of the graphic, as the original remains in place.
- With the crane graphic selected on page 5, hold down the Shift key and click the crane on page 4. Turn off the text wrap option for both these graphics by selecting the No text wrap button in the Text Wrap palette.
- Choose Edit > Deselect All.
