Photo copy and paste to Visio


Recommended Posts

I've cropped and resized a photo in Photo and am trying to copy and paste it to Viso, but when I paste I just get an empty box which is the right proportions to the image I copied.

I've tried converting to a pixel layer, selecting all (ctrl+A) and then "Copy Flattened", but I still get an empty box in Visio.

I can paste into Paint.net and get the image correctly, then I can copy and paste from paint.net, but obviously I want to avoid this.

Any thoughts?

Visio requires a certain image data format for the standard Paste, while Paint can automatic handle another format, which in Visio must be specified via Paste Special. And Paint then stores image data to the clipboard in the format in which Visio expects it for standard Paste.

Using the clipboard content viewer, you can see for yourself in what format the application stores image data to the clipboard.
