Paresh Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 Hi - I'm just trying to cut a portion of one image & paste it into another in AP but nothing happens. I go to "edit/cut" & "edit/paste" but it doesn't show in the target layer. What am i doing wrong? thanks. Quote
Old Bruce Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 Did you select a layer which has what you want on it before "edit/cut". I am constantly forgetting to do that.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
firstdefence Posted April 2, 2019 Posted April 2, 2019 Also make sure the layer doesn't say Image, if it does you will need to rasterise the layer first (right-click and select rasterise) else when you copy you will just get the whole image regardless of the selection you have made.

Paresh Posted April 2, 2019 Author Posted April 2, 2019 Thanks for the ideas - still nothing shows up. There's only 1 layer - the pixel layer created when I open the background image. I did rasterize it just to be sure. Ok, now i just tried 'paste special" & it worked, somewhat, but way too large. Is that what I need to select & if so, how do I make it smaller? There are several other paste options...I just tried special to see what happened. Quote
