JIT Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 When you switch to Photo persona within Publisher, and you make a selection to copy/paste - it doesn't work. It copies the whole page, not the selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walt.farrell Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Sounds like you may be trying to make a pixel selection on an Image layer (it will show as (Image) in the Layers panel). You'll need to rasterize that layer before you can copy pixels from it.

JIT Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 That worked! Thanks. I am not sure I understand what rasterize means, and why I would need to do it to an image in Publisher but not in Photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Placing an image, or copy/paste, or drag/drop, gives you an (Image) layer that is a kind of vector layer. Opening an image gives you a (Pixel) layer that is a raster layer. If you Place/paste/drop an image into Photo it will behave the same as if you did any of those in Publisher.
