I've never found the best way to do this and its bitting me in the butt right now.


Lets say I am making a layout for a site in PS. it's a 1100x1100 bg that i just arrange stuff on as a guideline to my design. And now lets say I make a new layer and ad a picture on it, and use the blending options to add a border, a shadow, overlay, yada yada yada. Now i see it and I go "that looks great, let me take that and make it its own image file so I can CSS it up.

Now here's my problem, I can't apple-click the layer, and do copy and paste to new file. The new file dimensions wont accomidate for the border and shadow, just the image size.


How does everyone perform this effectively?

Thanks
Frank

if i understand what your problem is then you can try to crop the piece you want:

image > crop
then save as in a new file

Or you could drag the layers to an other file

thats the approach ive been going, but there is a problem with the shadow. I have to save it as a PNG to allow for the transparency of the shadow. The shadow doesn't come up as black when its image is incorporated to a webpage, anyone have this problem?
