jacksongirl Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 I downloaded this program and used it a few times (which was fairly easy)to make a blank background for our website (photos need to be 630 px X 250) I then dropped and resized a photo in the center of this blank canvas, saved it to a jpeg then used it on our website. The problem is NOW I can't do it (when I try to copy and paste into the doc it says the clipboard does not contain any image or it is greyed out. ) and if I import it into the canvas it resizes the canvas. What am I doing wrong? I have to teach this to my office and I feel like a fool that I did not write down what I did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onemorelevel Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Also, jpeg doesnt support transparency, so you might wanna try pngs. Or am I missing the point? Quote "Being calm can work wonders" ~My gallery~D: Iceberg Tutorial! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacksongirl Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 I don't have photoshop, don't use png's.... I am just left clicking thumbnail of photo, then choosing copy. I have also tried Control C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sozo Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Copying the file won't copy the image, you have to open the image, then hit CTRL+A, then hit CTRL+C to copy the image. Then you can paste it and resize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Ding ding ding, that's why I asked you how are you doing it. Follow Sozo's advice. Copying the file won't copy the image, you have to open the image, then hit CTRL+A, then hit CTRL+C to copy the image. Then you can paste it and resize.

Urnemanden Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 ...or if you mean copying from Paint.NET into word/other software do this: Save your picture as jpg in paint.net Open Mozilla Firefox/IE Go to File->Open File (Ctrl+O) Find your file on your harddisk Open it and right-click->Copy Image Paste it into word or whatever software your using for your website.
