Psp 7 Move pasted selection ?
|
|
| jean.paulo 2004-10-21, 12:14 pm |
| I seem to have trouble with the move of a selection after pasting it.
After paste (as new selection, or transparent selection), the selection is
attached to the mouse cursor
If I try to use SHIFT + arrows, noting moves. If I click first, the whole
image is moved instead of the selection.
What I am doing wrong ?

| If you paste as a selection, after releasing the cursor, it becomes part of the active layer and you cannot change
anything anymore. Instead, paste as a new layer, so you keep all editing possibilities (move, resize, change
brightness/contrast/color...). You can show/hide the layer anytime, etc... Much more flexible!

| No, this is not the solution.
First, when I paste 'as new calc', this require my quite large TWO colors
picture to be transformed to 16 M.
And then, when I try to play with the new selection or calc, it is not
tranparent, and if it can be moved
with the mouse, the SHIFT arrow keys are still moving the whole picture
instead of the calc..
This make it quite difficult to zoom on it and then position it to the
pixel.
What I am trying to do is to mix two half of a picture (in that case a
drawing) which is too large
to be scanned.
It is quite easy to do this with PSP 5. I am still to find a way to do it
with PSP 8

| I don't know what you mean by "new calc", is it a language issue?
Anyway, here's how I would do this:
-make an estimate of the size you are going to need to place the two pictures beside each other.
-open a new image with that size, better too large than too small. Background doesn't matter.
-open your two images.
-copy the first image and paste it as a new layer into your new image.
-do the same with your second image.
-use the mover tool to position them or the deform tool to resize them.
-crop and save your image.
That's all.

| PS: It doesn't matter that your 2color picture is transformed to 16mil. You can always change that later back to 2
colors.

I don't know what "as new calc" means since this is not in
the English version. It doesn't matter that the image is
transformed to a higher color depth because the colors do
not change.

I think you are using the word "calc" to mean "layer". If
you pasted a selection correctly as a new layer, then
everything outside the selection will be transparent.

After pasting as a new layer, invoke the Deform tool. Then
move the layer with the mouse, or move it one pixel at a time
with Ctrl-arrow keys, or 10 pixels at a time with Shift-Ctrl
and the arrow keys.

It's quite easy to do in PSP 8. You just need to learn a bit
more about the program. The Deform tool lets you do some other
operations like sizing, rotation, skew and so on which can
improve the alignment you are trying to achieve. Once you
have done everything you can merge all the layers and reduce
the color depth to two colors if you really need that.

It does when the file is already 16 mbytes in two colors...
and the definition of the lines get blurry in the back transform.
But I did not try your last suggestion yet. It still seems that you can only
use the mouse, not the
'dot by dot' keyboard option.
