Ok, here is my question. and yes im a newbie, but hey we all gotta start somewhere.
I'm making the layout of my site. And I want to use a DIFF .psd IN my site layout .psd,
so is it possible to copy an entire .psd and import or somethin into the other .psd? or is there a plugin to compress all layers into one. Cause if i try to just copy and paste, it only copies and pastes that one layer. Your help is appreciated.

That's cake, bro. Check it out.

Follow these steps, and you will have an unmodified .psd, but still get what you are looking for.

The command you are looking for is the MergeDown command. It takes one rendered layer (rasterized) and merges it with another rendered layer directly below. But, there IS a trick to merge multiple layers at one time, in one fell swoop.

Ok, there are little boxes in the layers pallet (Show Layers Pallet) that lock layers together. If you lock multiple layers, and you move one, they will all move. Neat,eh? Well, here's the trick:

1) Click on the layer lock (to the right of the visibility icon (eye)) on each layer you want to merge together.
2) After locking ALL of the layers you'd like to merge (hopefully, you don't have a background, so your image copy will remain transparent in the parts you want), I want you to type this on the keyboard: Ctrl+E.
3) Ctrl+E is the keyboard shortcut for MergeDown. Normally, it will only merge one layer down onto one layer. But if you lock layers, it will merge all locked layers.
4) Select all, Copy, Go to other image, Paste.
5) Close the original image. Do NOT save. (this preserves your image)

Viola! Now you have it. :p
