Transfer of layers problem..

[Shirelle]

Reading the article about the "arrange" feature in Photoshop, I wanted to try moving some edits from one photo to another in Photoshop. When I do this, whether it is one layer that I'm trying to move, or a group, when I move them over they don't line up right. The masks themselves look weird, like part of it is cut off. I tried it on pretty identical images.

Did you hold down Shift as you go?

No I did not, but that worked. It didn't mention holding shift in the article. Or I'm missing it somehow. Thanks!
