Skeletons
Trying to copy a skeleton from the 'bonus' section, but all I see when I paste is either the background or the checkerboard layer, but the skeleton has mysteriously vaporised. So what am I missing here?  |

Re: Skeletons
Just redownloaded them, and they're working fine for me. Each file in the zip archive has two layers, the skeleton and the black background. Are you sure you're selecting the right one? |

Re: Skeletons
Managed to sort it, another one of those PS oddities: if I Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C, then in the new document Ctrl-V; it pastes the empty layer. Even if I go back to the skeleton, then Ctrl-E, the skeleton mysteriously disappears. Yet if I simply click on the skeleton, then move it to the new image; no problem. as this has never happened to me, I must concede to being perplexed...., but thanks for your help. |

Re: Skeletons
Very curious. Is it possible you were in QuickMask mode when you copied and pasted? |

Re: Skeletons
No, this is the odd aspect. I did nothing different from my usual select, copy, paste method. But, as you can see on this week's challenge, the skeleton eventually obliged.....  |
