Put an end to that shit with one CS5 setting.
I almost cried after reading this.In CS5 you can finally disable the Add "Copy" to Copied Layers feature. Just click on the icon in the top right of your layer panel and select"Panel Options". In the popup just remove check box near "Add "copy" to Copied Layers..." (Thanks JB for that one!)

I do my best to name each layer and group. And my paths. I slip sometimes, though ... :(

more reasons why i despise using photoshop.
i love it when i push escape after making txt changes and everything i just did disappears. pure sweetness.
- yeah, because that's a "feature" we all need....psssh, that's what fucking UNDO is formonospaced
- ctrl+enter to commit to text changes. use the application correctlylogi
- oh, I know, but I'd prefer ESC beccause it would then function the same as every other Adobe appmonospaced
- too true.duckseason
- haters, it's what they do.logi
- whatever, Photoshop is for web guys anywaymonospaced
- noobs thinknig they can just crawl in here and tell us to use the program correctly and then call us haters...psshhhhmonospaced
- oh, and ignore my harshness, I'm what I call "hangry." A mix between hungry and angry, angry a result of hunger.monospaced

I just noticed another feature in the layer panel's options.
You can uncheck "Expand New Effects" to prevent all the layer effects from being open in the layer icon.
Nice!
They should have been more proactive and had these features unchecked by default.- < http://talesfromtheh…CyBrainX
- I only recently discovered this, too. And then life suddenly got a lot better as a result.Continuity

That's the reason to upgrade to CS5 I've been waiting for! Quick, to the boss's office!!!
- If you use Flash, the move is a no-brainer.CyBrainX

every time you 'copy' a layer it loses a little resolution.
Apparently what you are supposed to do is to go to:
Layer------>Duplicate layerThat option brings up the dialogue box to name the layer with out losing any resolution.
- srsly? that's shtty.hargbine
- ??????????????????inteliboy
- no way.set
- I am serious.VikingKingEleven
- yep, cos it will alias to where you put it, not snap to the pixel grid.cilence

"every time you 'copy' a layer it loses a little resolution.
Apparently what you are supposed to do is to go to:
Layer------>Duplicate layer"reallly???
- yeah, I don't believe that at allmonospaced
- yeh, that's sounds so fundamentally wrong it hurts to even begin refuting it — where's the proof?hargbine
- i bet it's true. jpeg compression built into the applogi

vikingKing — I'm calling BS unless you can post a link to something less than nonsense from Adobe.
That's just WAY WRONG of Photoshop to act that way.
- Think of it like a xerox or a laser printer, the farther into the print run the less qualityVikingKingEleven
- so if you keep 'xeroxing' a layer it gradually loses resolution.VikingKingEleven
- we are in the digital age nowsandbag
- yeah, xerox degrades because of the analog functionmonospaced

Not buying that!

Yes, I am not BS.
- ill see if I can find a link. its been a few years.VikingKingEleven

also think about the terms used...
Copy layer = xerox
Duplicate layer = copy of original.Why they use two different terms? Because they provide different solutions.
- What's the point of the lose-resolution solution???i_monk
- Text....
Support layers/overlays, ectVikingKingEleven

@Viking - Create many copies (control/command + J) of a layer with some kind of gradient on it, and see if the pixels on the gradient shift when you compare layer 1, and layer XX, under close zoom. You won't see a difference. If there was some kind of compression going on you would notice a shift in certain places, even if subtle.
- From my understanding, yes its subtle but it was explained me like a xerox vs drum scanVikingKingEleven
- If it's true it may not matter to the naked eye unless you create 1000+ copies.rzrffglyr
- But I'll look out for a link about it, would be interested.rzrffglyr
- once you copy it so many times the resolution in the graphic starts dropping.VikingKingEleven
