Creating images from existing images
You can create an image by copying aspects of an existing image. When you use an existing image as the source of your new image, you can copy the entire image (duplicate) or an individual layer. You can also create an image from any graphic data copied to the Clipboard from Corel PaintShop Pro.
To duplicate an image
Edit workspace
1 Open the image you want to duplicate.
2 Choose Window Duplicate.
A new window containing a copy of the image appears in the workspace.
To create an image from a layer
Edit workspace
1 On the Layers palette, click the layer you want to copy.
2 Choose Edit, and click one of the following:
• Copy
• Cut
The current layer is placed on the Clipboard.
3 Choose Edit Paste As New Image.
A new window containing the layer appears in the workspace.
To create a new image from a layered image
Edit workspace
1 On the Layers palette, click the layer you want to copy.
2 Choose Edit Copy Special Copy Merged.
All layers are copied to the Clipboard.
3 Choose Edit Paste As New Image.
A new image window appears in the workspace. The new image contains all layers merged into one raster layer.
To create an image from the Clipboard contents
Edit workspace
1 Copy a selection or layer of an image, or an item from another program.
2 Choose Edit Paste As New Image.
The Clipboard contents are pasted as a new image.
If the Paste As New Image command is grayed out, then the data you have copied to the Clipboard cannot be pasted as a Corel PaintShop Pro image.
A dialog box may appear and request additional information, such as the width and height of the new image window. You can change your preferences so that Corel PaintShop Pro does not prompt you for size and options when you paste data. For more information about setting file format preferences, see
