Cut and paste between photos

I am new to Photoshop but I thought there was a way to cut a person from one photo and paste it into another.  Can't seem to find how to do it in any menus or help searches.  Is this possible and how?

Basically you use the various selection tools to select the person, copy the selection to the clipboard, open the destination picture, and paste from the clipboard. The person is placed on a new layer with transparent background. You can then resize/reposition the person as needed.
Here is my tutorial demonstrating this and some advanced techniques.

  • Vim: cutting and pasting between Terminal windows.

    Has anyone else noticed in vim, that when cutting and pasting between 2 files opened in 2 separate vim sessions, each in it's own terminal.app window. that you get a lot of indentions stuffed in with the paste content? If I open both files within a single vim session by splitting the window. This is not a problem.
    on other systems that I use, setting 'noai' resolves this problem. but it doesn't appear to have any effect on OS X. any suggetions?
    Thanks,
    Andy

    Hi Andy,
       Talking to yourself? Don't let this drive you insane. The difference is probably in your ~/.vimrc. In order to avoid the extra indention characters you must unset autoindent and also cindent. You may not set the cindent on the other platforms. I have it set because it's useful in composing code from scratch. However, if I want to paste indented text I have use both ":set noai" and ":set nocindent". After that pasting doesn't add any extra indention.

  • I am trying to make some funny pictures by combining(cutting and pasting) different photos. Does anyone know how to do that? or know software that i can get?

    You'll need an external editor for that kind of work.
    In order of price here are some suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 approx)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    Comic Life 2 (http://plasq.com/products/comiclife2)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

    I believe it is version 11 of iphoto as i tried to update but it says it has the latest update and Mac is 2 weeks old from new.
    OS is Lion.
    I have just tried to look everywhere on the Mac to see where the photos might be.
    There are no error messages showing on screen and it was fine before my wife did what she did. Even though we have back -ups of 95% of the pictures. I would like to know what happened so that it won't happen again.

  • Cut and Paste between Events not working

    Using iPhoto11, I can drag and drop pictures between events, no problem...but Cut and Paste does not work.
    I select a photo and cut in event A, go to event B, I right click and get a PAST button, It even clicks but nothing happen, the Cut image never gets pasted.
    Is this a bug? whats the solution?

    To delete the test user, go to the black apple menu, click on system preferences, then on accounts. From an administrator account, click on the "test" user and hit the "-" key. when the dialog box comes up, hit "delete the home folder" and it will be gone.
    For the startup disk issue you should repair permissions. From the finder, click on the "go" menu, then on "utilities". Select disc utility. Select your HD and click on repair disk permissions. This will take several minutes (5 or more).
    If that has not done the trick then you may need to reset the parameter ram (PRAM).  Turn your computer off. When you turn it back on, simultaneously hold 4 keysL command-option-p-r. Keep holding them. The startup chime will ring. Continue to hold until you have heard the chime at least 2 times (more won't help or hurt). Then release.

  • Cut and Paste Between adjacent "Spaces"  How to ??

    Is it possible to either configure or command "Spaces" to display SIMULTANEOUSLY on my screen documents contained in, say, "Space 1" and "Space 2" ?
    If I had a Word document open in one space and a web page in another space, could I select and copy text to the clipboard from the page in Space 2 into a Word document in the adjacent space ? In other words, does Spaces support clipboard cut and paste operations between neighbouring spaces in real, drag and drop time ?
    Can I split my screen in other words

    Hi Michael Bryan;
    Yes, it does.
    I do it all the time. I have one Space with my writing programs and another with my browsers. I am always cut in one Space and pasting in another. I found the quickest way back and forth is to use command + tab to switch between the open applications. It opens up the Space the includes the application to paste into.

  • Cut and Paste between mac applications and openoffice

    Using OpenOffice I can cut and paste within OpenOffice using Ctrl-c and Ctrl-v.
    I can copy from Apple Mail using Apple-c, but I cannot paste that text into OpenOffice using Ctrl-v.
    Is there any way of doing this?

    Try using Neo Office Aqua instead. It does work as expected and it does not require X11. Be sure to download not only the application but the most recent patch as well. There are both PPC and Intel versions. Be sure to get the Intel version (http://www.neooffice.org/).

  • Cut and paste not working in iphoto

    I can't cut and paste between events in iPhoto any longer.  i tried flagging a photo but the add flag item to event was grayed out. how can you move photos between events.  i tried dragging but page didn't scroll very well so was a little inefficient

    I see, in the "Photos" album I cannot cut and paste either. I can cut the photo from the event, but not paste it into a different event, because It is impossible to select the event for pasting in the Photos album.
    @ Terence Devlin, is pasting into an event supposed to work inside the Photos album?
    I can paste into an event in the Events view. And dragging and dropping between events is working well in the Photos view.
    i tried flagging a photo but the add flag item to event was grayed out.
    This cannot work in Photos view, because "Add flagged items to the selected event" requires an event to be selected, an in the Photos album is no selected event. You can create a new event from the flagged photos and drag this event on top of the event where you want them to go.
    So, I am afraid you will have to switch between the Photos album and the Events view to move your photos around.

  • Cut and paste problems

    Cut and paste between program has been real buggy since upgrading.  Today, I am trying to cut lines of text out of InDesign and paste into either a web browser or Mail, and nothing happening.  Text cuts OK, cause I can paste it back into ID, but won't let me paste elsewhere.  Had the same problem earlier pasting between Excel and ID.  Anybody else experiencing this?

    It's an extremely important skill to learn to read the API and become familiar with the tools you will use to program Java. Java has an extensive set of documentation that you can even download for your convenience. These "javadocs" are indexed and categorized so you can quickly look up any class or method. Take the time to consult this resource whenever you have a question - you'll find they typically contain very detailed descriptions and possibly some code examples.

  • Project Server / Project Pro = Cut and Paste official best practices to avoid corruption

    It is pretty common knowledge among Project Server veterans that Cut and Paste between Project Pro files can cause corruption with the assignment table. This leads to Publish and Reporting (Project Publish)
    failures. I just went through an upgrade from Project Server 2007 to 2013 and a LOT of files had to be rebuilt from scratch. 
    I ask my users to not Cut and Paste within or between project files. They do not always listen.
    I have looked and cannot find official Microsoft text on the subject or at least some sort of official best practices doc. It would help me prevent some corruption if I had a doc with a Microsoft logo that says “It is not recommended….”
    Or “If you do this you will make your admin cry…”
    If this doc is right in front of me and I just missed it I apologize in advance.
    Thanks

    John --
    To the best of my knowledge, there is no such Best Practice document from Microsoft.  Based on my experience with Project Server from Project Central through Project Server 2013, following are some items that can cause corruption in your project:
    Use of special characters in the name of the project.
    Cutting/copying/pasting entire task rows within a single enterprise project or between multiple enterprise projects.
    Opening an enterprise project on your laptop while connected to a wireless network, then closing the laptop lid, walking to another room in the building when you pass from one wireless access point to another, and then opening the laptop lid again. 
    I learned this from one of our former clients.
    Beyond this, there are some other items that will not corrupt your project, but which will cause problems with saving or publishing a project.  These items include:
    Using blank rows in the project.
    Using special characters in task names.
    Task names that start with a space character (this sometimes happens when copying and pasting from an Excel workbook).
    In both Project Server 2010 and 2013, the recommended method for resolving a corrupted project is to use the Save for Sharing feature. Refer to my directions in the following thread on how to use the Save for Sharing feature:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/projectserver/en-US/ec2c5135-f997-40e1-8fe1-80466f86d373/task-default-changing?forum=projectprofessional2010general
    Beyond what guidance I have provided, I am hoping other members of this community will add their thoughts as well.  Hope this helps.

  • Why can't I cut and paste photos between project?

    I recently made the transition from iPhoto to Aperture. One of the weird things is that I can't cut and paste photos between projects. In iPhoto this is an easy way to organize your projects if some photos are in the wrong place.
    You also can't split projects, in iPhoto you can do this easily. Say, if two day's photos ending being in the same project, in iPhoto there's a button that you split them in the middle. Is there something like this in Aperture?

    Copy and Paste:
    In iPhoto "copy and paste" was possible, because it was not possible in the early versions, to see both projects at the same time, the one you are moving from, and the one you are moving to.
    In Aperture you simply drag from the source project to the destination project to move image versions around. Also, it is easy to see more than one project in the Browser at the same time, see: Aperture 3 User Manual: Working with Two or More Browsers Open
    To drag to another project, select the images in the project, then drag to the other project in the source list, for example:
    To split a project, select the images you want to have in the split part, then create a new project from these images: Enable the check mark "Move selected items to new project". This will split the original project.
