How to cut and paste selected cutouts between two open AP windows

How to cut and paste between two open AP windows?

 

First let me describe what I want to do by an alternate (non AP) method.

 

Say you have two open windows in AP, where you want to copy the color legend

in the window 1 plot image onto the plot image in window 2.

 

I use the grab application  in the MAC  utility tool box and clip out  (copy) the legend

in window 1 and then simply paste it into the appropriate spot in the window 2 plot image.

 

How can I do this same operation using the AP tools?

 

I tried using the AP crop tool (in place of the Mac's grab utility), but when I tried

to paste the cropped legend into window 2, it ended up being a huge sized legend (maybe 5 times the original size), 

with undesirable large gaps  between the handles and pasted legend  .

 

Using the grab utility app on the Mac did not change the size of the pasted legend and had nice desirable tight gaps between the handles and legend.

Hi Kalinoaj,

 

If you open both images in Affinity Photo you should be able to copy and paste the legend into your second image using the selection tools. To find out more about the Selection Tool and how to use them please watch the video below :) 

 

 

Once you have selected your legend go to Edit > Copy then switch to the document you want the legend to be placed into and go to Edit > Place :)

 

Thanks
