XLT Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 I can't seem to grasp these functions. I need a step by step on how and where this simple "copy and paste" function works. I am able to copy and paste with right mouse button on text strings but I can't seem to get the process with images. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Lionhearted Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 :? Copy will copy whatever selection you have onto the clipboard (much like text) and then paste will paste that selection onto whatever layer you have selected at the moment. Then you're free to move that pasted selection anywhere you'd like. Clear as mud? Not quite sure what you're asking... Quote My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XLT Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 Say I want to copy the image of your avatar. How do I go thru the copy process? Highlight with the right mouse click? Ctrl+C? then Ctrl+V to layer in PDN? I get nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Lionhearted Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Try right-click, Save Picture As..., and then open in PDN. Quote My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XLT Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 I was able to "Save Picture As" in a file on my computer and I was able to "Import From File" onto PDN. Is this the process of Ctrl+C then Ctrl+V? I'm confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myrddin Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Ctrl + C is copy Ctrl + V is paste The_Lionhearted is right in what to do. But the process in your last post is just saving then opening, not copying and pasting: 'Save picture as...' is not the same as copying. Does this help?

XLT Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 Ok. Now that I know the difference between saving then opening vs copying and pasting. I know how to save and open. I don't know how to copy and paste images. :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrEaK Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Ok. Now that I know the difference between saving then opening vs copying and pasting. I know how to save and open. I don't know how to copy and paste images. :? you do know, CTRL+C(COPY) CTRL + V(PASTE) the difference between the two aint all that much, you can save the picture and it will be on the harddrive, but if you just copy and paste it it will not be on your harddrive and you will have to save it from whatever program you pasted it into. Shouldn't be all that confusing. Quote Site: RIP =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many times I don't want it on the hard drive so I don't have to delete it after the full routine of saving. Copy and paste would be handy when posting forums. Faster. Perhaps clone stamping (copy and paste) images on a PdN Canvas would work better than CloneStamp because the CloneStamp in PdN is limited.

penguin Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 yeah, to get an image from one program to another, (IE to PDN) you need to copy image. you cant just ctrlC but in PDN, ctrlC and ctrV work, so you should use them there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 You don't copy images, you copy pixels, mostly. Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
