Cutting, Copying, And Pasting - Epson PhotoPC 500 User Manual

Cutting, Copying, and Pasting

You can use the Cut, Copy, and Paste commands on the
Edit menu with a selected area of an image or an entire
image. The Paste as New command lets you create a new
image file from an image on the clipboard.
Choose Cut from the Edit menu to remove the selected
area (or the entire image if there is no selection). A
white "hole" appears where you made the cut.
PhotoPC 500 places the cut-out area on the Windows
Clipboard.
Choose Copy from the Edit menu to place a copy of the
selected area (or the entire image if there is no
selection) on the Windows Clipboard. The original
image is not affected.
Choose Paste from the Edit menu to paste an image
from the Clipboard into the active image. You can drag
the pasted area with your mouse if you want to move
it.

Choose Paste as New to create a new file from an
image on the Clipboard. PhotoPC 500 displays the new
image file in its own window, and you can save it or
add it to an album.
Cropping
Cropping an image is the opposite of cutting; instead of
removing the selected area, cropping removes everything
outside the area. Follow these steps:
1
Click the Crop tool.
2
Click and drag to select the part of the image you want
to keep. When you release the mouse button, an
animated rectangle surrounds the selected area.
3
Click outside the selected area if you change your
mind or want to start over. When you move the mouse
pointer inside the selection, it turns into a pair of
scissors. Click inside the selection to "cut away" the rest
of the picture.
