Duplicating button bands and text


You’ve designed the label for one button. You could go through all those steps again to create
the band and text for each of the other buttons, but it will be faster to duplicate the layer group
you created for the first band and text, and then edit the copies as needed.


1. In the Layers panel, make sure the Gallery 1 layer group is selected.
2. With the Move tool selected, make sure Auto-Select is not selected in the options bar.

3. With the Move tool, hold down the Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac) key as you drag the
Gallery One button to the right, and drop it when it snaps into alignment with the second
square frame and its guides.

Holding down Alt or Option creates a copy of the selected layer group as you drag it with the
Move tool. When you release the mouse button, the copy (Gallery 1 copy) should be selected in
the Layers panel.


4. Repeat step 2 by Alt-dragging (Windows) or Option-dragging (Mac) a copy of the second
button over the third square frame, and then do it one more time to copy the third button
over the fourth square frame, completing the row.

Now edit the text in the three copies to match their images.
