| one thing that is absolutely annoying with psp9 (i have 5 licences for
it) is when you copy and paste a non-rectangular selection.
open a files. i use a lot of 1-bit b/w image, but anything else will
work --well... if will work to show this problem but it would be
correct to say that any image won't work :)--.
now select anything non rectangular in that image (an ellipse or 2
overlapping (or not) rectangles or whatever you wish) and copy it. now
paste it on the very same image et voila': the selection became a
rectangle which contains the original selection padded with the
background color. this is *awfully* annoying from my point of view
because the background color that pads the new rectangular selection
covers part of the image i don't want to replace. yet pasting a
transparent selection won't work because i want to replace the whole
area of the original selection, not only
everything-but-the-background-coloured-area.
i was wondering if with psp-x they solved this problem.
thanks in advance.

In my Psp 9 It does not happen. I opened an image that was a background
layer made a selection, I did it a few times with different shapes To try
and spot a problem. I then did CTRL+ C to copy and pasted as a new layer.
the new layer was just the shape with no background. even tried pasting as
a new image and that shows the transparent BG. I cant make it work the way
it is doing it for you. Though when I tried with a new 1 bit image and added
a black blob the selected it and coped then pasted it PSP said it would need
to be converted to 16 million colours Because you can not have transparency
with anything but 24 bit 16 mil colour images The same will happen with
16 colours or 256

thanks. i used to paste it as a new selection with ctrl+e (as with
previous versions of psp).
we work on files which we don't want/need to have layers, then we've
never used them.
from now on, we'll paste as new layers and flatten them when saving
jpg's or png's.
regards,

No Need to flatten them as Jpg and Pang will do that as you save owing to
the fact they dont support layers. But it does allow you to repulsion and
or rescale Individually.(deform tool) You have opened an all new ball game

tried it, but it works only when working 16 million colors. we usually
work with 6850x4750 pixels images, which would become extremely heavy
if kept at 24bpp (they are 1bpp b&w images).
other suggestions?

It can't be done if you don't increase the color depth. However,
you don't have to keep the image at 24bpp. Once you have placed
your selection where you want you can just decrease the color
depth again until you need to do another copy/paste.

I have stated already that you can not have transparency on other then 24/32
bit images hence the reason you are getting a background
