How come when I copy and paste an image I opened in gimp to a background I have in gimp the color of the image changes to the color of the background?

Ok, im on gimp. I opened a picture of the simpsons tv in one project. I cut it out and tried to move it on to another project where the background is a gradient blue. Whenever I copy the image over, the image instantly becomes the same color as the background. Help please??

Perhaps it has a fill color of "none", and the background shows through.

  • How come when I copy and paste, my font is not carrying the shadow??

    I am trying to edit a menu and when I copy and paste the script it does not carry over the shadowing. I am new to Adobe PS and I dont even know how to shade in the first place! Someone please guide me in the right direction! Thanks

    Here's a handy thing:  If you right-click on the layer in the Layers palette you can copy just the layer style, then right click on the layer in the destination image and paste the layer style.

  • Why do colors come over as Color Book swatches when I copy and paste to a new document?

    Why do colors come over as Color Book swatches when I copy and paste to a new document? Original document has CMYK spot color swatches. I copy them and paste them in new document and it gets converted to a Color Book swatch. Why?

    Check the spot color options of that document.
    It's in the swatches panel's menu.

    Try just Opening the Word .doc from within Pages and see if that gets closer to what you want, then copy the chapter you want from the Pages version.

  • When I copy and paste a powerpoint slide into Captivate the slide is blurry how do I fix that

    When I copy and paste a powerpoint slide into Captivate the slide is blurry how do I fix that

    Have you tried importing it with standard workflow instead of coyping and pasting.
    Is the resolution of your powerpoint presentation and Captivate Project same, make sure it is same, else, it would rescale it to fit on the sldie, rescaling might detoriate the quality.
    Thanks,

  • When I copy and past text in a chat window there is a line of information that appears that describes the font and other information related to the pasted information. How do I stop that from displaying?

    When I copy and paste this is what appear: @font-face { font-family: "Arial"; }@font-face { font-family: "ＭＳ 明朝"; }@font-face { font-family: "ＭＳ 明朝"; }@font-face { font-family: "Cambria"; }p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt;

    Make sure that the editor that you use to compose the text is in plain text mode.

  • When I copy and paste an image from Word for usage in a Framemaker document it becomes blurred.

    Hi,
    I am saving graphics from Word for usage in a Framemaker document. When I copy and paste the file into photoshop it becomes blurred and unusable. How do I resolve this? I have tried saving the file in it's highest resolution but that doesn't work either.
    Thanks,
    Niall.

    The problem has to be the image itself, but then you give us zero information.
    We don't even know what platform you are on, Macintosh or Windows, what exact version of the OS, of Photoshop, or Word you are using, how you are getting what kind of image from Word, etc.
    It could be that you're just copying the low resolution thumbnail preview from MS Word, but we know nothing about its dimensions, resolution or format.

  • When I copy and paste from an online chart, some cells that had dashes or hyphens in them in the online chart paste into Numbers cells as dates, e.g., 12-13 pastes as Dec. 13, 2012.

    When I copy and paste from an online chart, some cells that had dashes or hyphens in them in the online chart paste into Numbers cells as dates, e.g., 12-13 pastes as Dec. 13, 2012.  I have tried changing the cell formats for that column from "automatic" to "text", but that doesn't fix it.  Is there a way to copy/paste this information without changing the original characters?

    If you know how many rows/columns you are planning to paste, then make the table that big BEFORE you paste.  In addition select all cells in the table by selecting any cell, then type the key combination <COMMAND>+a (for select all.
    Then use the cells inspector to make the cells formatted as text:
    I hope this helps

  • Do not duplicate the graphic style when you copy and paste a feature

    I rely heavily on the use of graphic styles.  However, when I copy and paste a feature that has a graphic style assigned to it, a duplicate of the graphic style is created.  I sometimes end up with a large number of these duplicate graphic styles that I have to trash.  This does not happen with the selection tool+alt shortcut for copying.  However, I can't use this shortcut when I want to paste in front or paste in back, which is the case at least half the time.

    Only advice I can offer is Option Left cursor, then right cursor, to make an exact copy in same position.
    This will give you a clone as the action does form the previosu poster, but unfortunately no oslution for when you want to target layers.
    If anyone else has any input on this here is how to reproduc:
    New document, create a graphic style (eg: fill yellow, stroke none) and save
    Close the document
    Open the document
    copy and paste the element with the graphic style, and with every paste multiplies faster than a tribble on Star Trek
    I played with changing the clipboard options, no luck. Exists on CS4 Mac, CS5 Mac & PC, might go back as far as graphic styles do.

    Can't always make sense of its effect, but I suspect what your seeing comes under the influence of Photoshop > Preferences > General > Options > Resize Image During Place

  • Does update links automatically work when we copy and paste?

    Hi all!! :) I've got a question after i've tried DW CS3 for
    few days: I notice that when i cut and paste a web page from a
    folder to another folder within a local site, the links
    automatically update (after clicking to choose update when a prompt
    box appears) but there is nothing happens when i try to copy and
    paste. Does update links automatically mode works only when we cut
    and paste or did i do something wrong? If its the second case, can
    anyone tell me how to fix it? Thanx 4 reading my post ^_^!!

    My suggestion is that it works that way because when you copy
    and paste the original document still remains in the folder and
    therefore Dreamweaver doesn't see it as a moved file.

  • Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically?   I've tried PDF and Word, but worked only in Mail.  Lost formatting when just copied and pasted in email.

    Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically?   I've tried PDF and Word, but PDF worked only in Mail.  Word worked in nothing.  I also tried copying and pasting the document but lost all formatting when just copied and pasted in email.  Is there a way to do this?

    Are you sure PDF won't work? It should as what you're trying to do is pretty much what it is designed for (PDF - Portable Document Format). On a Mac anywone who receives the file should be able to see it in all its page layout glory by using the app Preview or Adobe Reader. Same on a PC, the file should be viewable as a PDF file using Adobe Reader and probably some other viewer (don't use PCs so not sure what other apps).
    What application are you creating the file in and are you sure you're exporting it correctly in PDF format, fonts and images embedded?

    When I copy and paste text in facebook, the text looks fine until I hit 'share' or 'comment' to submit it. Firefox then adds indiscriminate line-feeds within the text and it looks nothing like the original text. It makes it very difficult to read and awful to look at.
    This does not happen in Safari.

    Same problem, 3.6.8 and previous recent versions. I never thought to try another browser but I just pasted into IE and it worked fine. I copied from Firefox to IE and it worked as well. It's just when you paste into Firefox that you get the weird line breaks.

    If this were a project that I was involved in, I would recapture the media at the correct frame rate and rebuild the sequences correctly.
    Moving from production, to post production, to delivery is a series of steps, and the success of any particular step is based on having all the preceding steps done correctly.
    Shortcuts and workarounds tend to create awkward and difficult problems, that often only surface late in the process.
