7-6 Editing Photos in PhotoPC 500

Cutting, Copying, and Pasting

You can use the Cut, Copy, and Paste commands on the

Edit menu with a selected area of an image or an entire

image. The Paste as New command lets you create a new

image file from an image on the clipboard.

❙ Choose Cut from the Edit menu to remove the selected

area (or the entire image if there is no selection). A

white “hole” appears where you made the cut.

PhotoPC 500 places the cut-out area on the Windows

Clipboard.

❙ Choose Copy from the Edit menu to place a copy of the

selected area (or the entire image if there is no

selection) on the Windows Clipboard. The original

image is not affected.

❙ Choose Paste from the Edit menu to paste an image

from the Clipboard into the active image. You can drag

the pasted area with your mouse if you want to move

it.

❙ Choose Paste as New to create a new file from an

image on the Clipboard. PhotoPC 500 displays the new

image file in its own window, and you can save it or

add it to an album.

Cropping

Cropping an image is the opposite of cutting; instead of

removing the selected area, cropping removes everything

outside the area. Follow these steps:

1 Click the Crop tool.

2 Click and drag to select the part of the image you want

to keep. When you release the mouse button, an

animated rectangle surrounds the selected area.

3 Click outside the selected area if you change your

mind or want to start over. When you move the mouse

pointer inside the selection, it turns into a pair of

scissors. Click inside the selection to “cut away” the rest

of the picture.
