How can I 'cut and paste' a part of one image to another?

I have this program the creates great syfi looking planets and some other cool stuff. I creates them
on a solid black background. I'm hoping there is a way to cut out just that planet and paste it onto
the sky of another picture. I don't want the black background just the planet. I can go in and make
the edges look nice after it's done. But I don't know how to do it :-(
Thank You.

1. use the selection tool(s) of your choice to select the planet. It helps to give the selection a one or two pixel feather to avoid a cutout look (Select>Feather).
2. Copy it (ctrl+C in windows, command+C on a mac)
3. Paste it (ctrl+v in windows, command+v on a mac)
You will get better results if both images have the same ppi before you start (image>resize>image size. If you need to make a change for one image, make sure Resample Image is OFF.) You can use the Move tool to arrange/resize the object once it's in the destination photo.

    You are trying to copy a link, it is most likely in a different color such as the words "Microsoft's own forums" in his post. In Word highlight the word or words, control click on them, select Hyperlink, then Edit Hyperlink, then delete the link from the top box. It will then have a button asking if you want to "Remove Link", click on it.

  • Edit is greyed out, how can I cut and paste

    when I want to copy something from a web page, I click on the orange "Firefox" but the edit option is greyed out and not usable. How can I cut, copy, and paste in this new format?

    You can do one of the following after you have highlighted what you want to copy:
    *click the Firefox button, the middle icon (looks like 2 pages with folded corners) will be available for clicking; that icon is "Copy" if you rest your cursor over the icon
    *click the Firefox button, click the small triangle at the far right of Edit, click "Copy"
    *in Windows, click Ctrl+C to "Copy" (Ctrl+V will "Paste")
    I have "Copy", "Paste" and "Cut" buttons on the Customize Palette which you can drag to a toolbar. To open the Customize toolbar window, click Firefox button > Options > Toolbar Layout; if using the Menu Bar, click View > Toolbars > Customize.

  • How can I cut and past on imac without a left and right click on mouse?

    Trouble cut and pasting on an imac since mouse has no right and left clicks...how can I highlight something and cut and paste somewhere else?

    Holding the Mouse button down and dragging across text should highlight it, and Command-C Command-V should allow you to copy/paste.

    To the best of my knowledge, unless the datasource and the field names are the same in both reports, you'll have to change them in the second report.
    Cut and paste takes the text as is and does not do any intelligent updates based on the datasourec & field names.

  • How do I copy and paste vector art from one layer to another, keeping all of its attributes?

    When I copy a vector shape from one layer to another, the shape picks up the color attributes of an existing shape in the second layer (or sometimes only the outline of the shape appears). What to I do to avoid this from happening (I just just want to paste the shape in its original form and color)?

    OK - I guess this is a little more difficult than I imagined...
    Merge Layers rasterizes all the vector shapes - I want all the shapes to stay as vectors in the second (pasted) layer.
    Merge Shapes changes the color of the copied vector shape - I don't want to change the color
    Shape Layer via Copy [Ctrl] +[J] copies the layer containing the vector shape, but doesn't paste it into the second layer
    Any other ideas? Or, is it possible that PhotoShop doesn't support varied colored vector shapes on the same layer? I am coming from an InDesign background, and there was no issue having many different (colored) vector objects on the same layer.

  • Get album artwork grayed out How can I cut and paste in iTunes?

    I've got many cd's that I've ripped to Itunes. When I try to click "add album artwork" I get an error message (609) from itunes that it can't be found.  So when I try to manually add it it is grayed out. 
    I've gotten this far:
    right click on song
    get info
    album artwork
    The option to browse from ny own source (like pasting from iphoto) is grayed out.  I've tried to go in under the file name in "music" but I don't see any option for changing anything.

    Great tip Stephen!!
    I was so frustated from this issue that I used to use Windows iTunes for mass editing info, adding Lyrics etc and then transfering songs to Mac. This tip has alleviated my pain!!
    Thanks for the tip. This question should be tagged as answered.

    How do I cut and past on my MACBOOK PRO?

    You can use the hotkeys, as Steve said. It sort of sounds as if you can't right click though.
    If you're using the touchpad, go into system preferences>trackpad, enable "secondary click, tap with 2 fingers". Then, when you click/tap the touchpad with 2 fingers instead of one, it'll right click, giving you the option to copy/paste whatever you highlighted.
