: How to duplicate a group to a new document having this document the exact same size as the group? I am using Photoshop CS3 and I have been given a quite big PSD with a lot of elements

I am using Photoshop CS3 and I have been given a quite big PSD with a lot of elements in it.
I want to select one of these groups in the layer pane and copy it to a new document, and this document needs to be the exact size of the group.

I have tried duplicating the group into a new document, but this results in a document with the same size as the original one.

I tried following this link How do you create a new document from a layer group that's also the size of the group?
But I just can't control-c the layers I have selected?

My group is composed of text layer and one square layer with some effects in it (its a button).

Many thanks,
felipe

: Transparency in clipping mask groups I am using a clipping mask to cut out some shapes. These shapes are composed of a rectangular "base color" and then some extra shapes overlaid for shading.

One other method I've used: Convert the group into a smart object. When you edit the smart object, it pops up in a new doc at the exact size of the group and you can save it out under a new file name. This is the fastest way I've found for pulling out bits and pieces of a PSD.

I'm sure you could script it or record an action if you have to do a lot of this.

Hide all layers that you do not want to copy (the "eye" icon on the layers pane)
Ctrl A > Shift+Ctrl C > Ctrl N > Enter (or Apple/Command if Mac)
Go back to original document right click your group on the layers pane and duplicate it to the already existing document

Duplicate the group to a new document.

Then choose Image > Trim...

Tick the Transparent Pixels option and click OK.

The new document will be trimmed to remove all superflous areas.
