manuef515 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Hello everybody, I'm looking for the similar function of Photoshop : Paste Inside in Affinity Photo. I have an image A On an image B, I have an active selection, and I would like the content of the image A to be placed only inside the selection. I try with menu Organize and Inside/behind but don't succeed tot do that. If someone can help me or have a link to a tutorial on this subject, Thanks a lot Emmanuelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make the selection, go Layer > Duplicate which will make a layer of just the active selection area. Copy the image you want to paste inside and go Edit > Paste inside. If you deselect the selection first (important), you can resize and move the pasted image inside the selection area. Deselect then double click on it again to get the blue selection box. rpsammyuktha 1 Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions.

Mollyc Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 This does not work. At least on 1.7.1. To do this I had to go Layer > Duplicate selection. It only took me 2 hours to work this out. And I began with Photoshop 1 SamMark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpsammyuktha Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Hello, I see the answers given, but this has not helped me. Please could you tell me how I could paste the selection (here, the dots) within another selection (here, within the pink area which is in a layer)? Please ask if my question is not clear.

rpsammyuktha Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Thank you! I just noticed that it has to be placed exactly inside the box for the image to sit in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maria1960 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 You are all missing the vital piece: the frame MUST be a picture frame, NOT a rectangle. You can convert it to picture frame or make sure you chose picture frame in the menu before drawing your rectangle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As previous replies have indicated, the way to achieve what was originally requested is to either use Edit - Paste Inside, or to clip the image to a shape using the layers panel.
