• Cut Deletes the selected area or object and places it onto the clipboard.
When you cut a selected area, that area in the image is filled with the current
background color.
• Copy Places a duplicate of a selected area or object onto the clipboard.
Note: When there is no selection area, both Cut and Copy apply to the entire
image.
Performing a paste operation
To paste an image, click Paste [Ctrl+V] on the Standard Toolbar, or choose a
command from the Edit: Paste submenu after cutting or copying image data to
the clipboard. Whenever you paste data into an image, it becomes an object and
floats above the base image and all other objects.
Notes:
• When pasting an object onto an image of a different data type, the pasted data
is automatically converted (for example, when pasting a True Color image into
an Indexed 16-Color image). This may cause extreme change in color.
• When pasting an image, it is placed pixel-on-pixel. If your source and target
images are at different zoom levels, the clipboard image may appear to be
enlarged or reduced after pasting.
• All Paste commands are disabled if the clipboard is empty or its contents are
not supported in PhotoImpact.
Pasting images as objects
Select Paste: As Object [Ctrl+V] to paste an image as a separate object. The
image is pasted at the top left corner of the current view. See
objects"
for details.
Pasting images into a selection area
After copying image data to the clipboard, you can now paste the contents to any
selection area.
To paste image data into a selection area:
1. Select an area on the image where you want to paste the clipboard image into.
2. Select Edit: Paste - Into Selection. The clipboard image appears inside the
selection and remains attached to your mouse.
Note: Press [Esc] to undo (before you have finished the pasting operation). The
contents in the clipboard are not removed.
