For a layer: In your original image right click the layer in the list and select the "Duplicate Layer..." option. You get a dialog prompting for the new layer name and (importantly in this case) a Destination drop down. It's defaulted to the current document but you can select another open document or create a new document. If you select another document you can also set it's name. |

You just drag from the layers tab, the smart object and drop it to the other window with the second photo that you like to copy. |

Unfortunately I've not found a consistent way to actually automate this via an action which highly increases the amount of time required for such a simple task. For now I move the window with the master smart filter applied and manually drag the smart filter object between documents. |
