Copy and paste Layer Content/Mask/Style to multiple layers

Post by Seph »

Could someone help me with a script that can copy Layer Content, Layer Mask, Layer Styles from one layer to multiple other layers. There should be an option (check box) for each separately so that you can choose only to copy the layer content and/or layer mask and/or layer styles. The layers to paste into could be either selected layers or layers with a certain name. For instance if you have multiple layers with the same name layer_name_01 then all these layers should be updated with the content and mask from the reference layer (but for example keep their own layer styles if that option is unchecked). I know that you can manually copy and paste these things in PS, but when using this for 3D texturing this could be very handy to update different maps.

Does such a script exist? Can someone write it. I am not really familiar enough with PS Scripting, but I think it would not be extremely hard. I really hope someone can help me.
