    Running PS CS Windows
    I’m trying to create several layer comps, each with 2 layers: text and a background ribbon. The background ribbon is vector mask that should change width depending on the length of the text. However, the layer comp is not storing the width of the mask. I’ve checked visibility, position, and style boxes in the layer comp dialogue. Is this just a limitation? I don’t really want to make a dozen backgrounds. I appreciate any help.
