This second video is a clarification on copying between documents. It reviews three ways of copying a layer over into another document.

1. Dragging from the bin. This is the method used in the video above. It actually "places" the image at a very reduced size. In the above video it worked well because the photos were huge and it saved some resizing effort. But, if you want to drag something over in actual size you want to use the next method.
2. Dragging a layer from the layers palette in one open document to another open document. This is illustrated in the below video.
3. Selecting "all" on a layer in an open document, copying it, and pasting it to another document. This will also paste it at the right size. But the downside to this method is that it is saved to your computer's clipboard. It is a memory hog if you use this as your primary method. You will eventually notice your computer slow down and you might have to restart Photoshop.
