Anyone2

Hence, i came here for help. You must have something better to do with your time then to troll.

lol, yes i know. In reality it doesnt matter what i wanted to do with the selection, cut it out, copy it, paint over it, nada. That was not the point! The point was even though the selection was made, it did not select that area, but selected the whole image. Period.

yes i wanted to copy and paste several of the same one, or duplicate the copies.

OH, i didnt rasterize it, i just went into pixel mode, thinking that rasterized it. OK! Thank you so very much.

Thats it. I have a png image of several different images on it. I want to cut out each one and put it in a separate layer. How do i do that? I have tried the lasso, to quickly circle one, and then copy and paste it, but it copies the whole image, not just my selection. What is up with that? Ok thanks.

have not watched the vid yet, so will after i finish eating. I do have pub, i just never use it, lol. but what you showed was so easy i will use it for this type of construction! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Oh i didnt watch the video, to tell the truth at the time i didnt realize it was a video, i thought it was a pic. Yeah, like i said before i was not centered! I just watched it, and realize you are in the publisher, not the designer. So i never use the pub, lol, only the designer and photo if i have to because its not available in the designer. Thank you so much, i get it! Its much easier in the publisher!

Ok this is the tut i followed: and that worked fine yesterday, i went to bed and this afternoon, i did it on the next image. and when i press the delete key it deletes everything! what???? I did it 3 times starting over and yeah now it doesnt work at all. Here is a copy of the file. Its left at the point you hit the delete key. What am i doing wrong? its not difficult. wth.afdesign

I think i used the beta and it worked ok, but i cant remember. I got so frustrated i stopped working on my project, iirc. Good luck and thank you.

I use a win 10 computer, how do i do a screen recording? er what app? Seems i investigated this before, but i cant rem now if i found anything, other than using my phone to record the screen lol.

Exact workflow? drop an image. Resize it to much smaller size using the select pointer. Now create the circle shape. Now set the image to curves. Now drag the image into the circle, at this moment, what you see is a circle cut from the 'un-sized' image, not from the resized image. The fix is to save the resized image, and use it instead, adding in more steps. Does this help? Oh wait, lol sorry, above is how i ended up doing it. Later in the forum they explained how to do the intersection. Ok, so after resizing the image and turning to curves, you move the circle over the area you want to see, and hit intersect. At that point, if gives you the 'un-resized' image in the circle, which shows as much larger of course, and in the wrong area. It should be intersecting with the image you see. So, im guessing it should rasterize the image, and make it a curve again and then intersect with it. Just a new subroutine needs to be added, for resized images. does that help? er is that what you are looking for?

Whooooooosh! right over my head? a picture frame? I read this twice, perhaps im not awake enough or centered to understand what you are saying, but it sounds like yes convert to curves, then no do not convert to curves. ... the clipboard trick? is that the copy and paste it in? I dont know that either. I would love to understand what you are saying, be in your head so to speak. Thank you very much, i will ponder this more while i await.

I followed this from a question i asked here on the forum, it worked, er did the intersection, but it used the original and not the smaller resized image i was looking at. Please fix this? its an important function. It wastes creative time to resize the image, save it, then bring it back in to do the intersection.

Yep i did it and it worked great, thank you. The only thing is, i resized the image to a smaller size, and when i cut out the bit, it was in the wrong area and very large. It cut from the original, not the resized one i was using. Interesting? pain in the neck, lol. so you must resize, then save and bring it in again. poo. But it worked so yeah!

Thanks, i thought i tried this and it didnt work, ill try it again, as obviously it must work lol
