You can use a copy of an existing image or a layer to create a new image. You can also create an image from any graphic data copied to the Windows clipboard from Paint Shop Pro.
To duplicate an entire image:
Open the image you want to duplicate.
Choose Window > Duplicate or press Shift + D. A new window containing the image opens in the work space.
To create a new image from a layer of another image:
On the Layer palette, click the layer you want to copy.
Choose Edit > Copy.
Note: If you use the Cut or Copy commands, the current selection or layer is placed on the clipboard.
Choose Edit > Paste > As New Image. A new image window opens in the work space. The layer you copied is now the background of the new image.
To create a new image from a layered image:
On the Layer palette, click the layer you want to copy.
Choose Edit > Copy Merged.
Note: All layers are merged into one layer and placed on the clipboard.
Choose Edit > Paste > As New Image. A new image window opens in the work space. The new image contains all layers merged into one raster layer.
To create a new image from clipboard data:
Cut or copy a selection or layer of an image, or an item from another program.
Choose Edit > Paste > As New Image. The clipboard data is pasted as a new image. If this command is greyed out, then the data you have copied to the clipboard cannot be pasted as a Paint Shop Pro image.
Note: A dialog may appear requesting additional information such as width and height of the new image window. You can change your preferences so that Paint Shop Pro does not prompt for size and options when you paste data. See Setting File Format Preferences.
