Photoshop: Copying a single layer to a next PSD

Question

Hey all,
For the past 20 mins I've trying to copy a layer from one PSD to the next but to no avail.
I'm a PS noob so please could someone tell me the steps in which to achieve this short term goal :)

Thx

Answer 1

Select the layer and select from the menu:

Layer -> Duplicate layer...

Then choose document and name of the copied layer.

Answer 2

If both files are opened simply drag your layer to the other file.

But you have to drag it on the canvas, dragging to the tab doesn't work.
