How to copy and paste into the same picture using quick selection tool

I have Photoshop CS5 and am new at this.  What I need to do is copy and paste something in the image back into the same image.  I can select it with the quick selection tool.  All I want to do is paste a copy of it back into my image, move it and rotate it a little. 
I've searched for an answer for a couple of days now and evidently, I'm searching for the wrong thing.  This is what I need to do and I don't know how to get there.  I do this in Digital Image Suite all the time and it's very simple.  I know Photoshop is a lot more complicated but you can do more with it so I am trying to switch by using it to work on my projects.  I've read articles where people say to use the quick selection tool and do a copy and paste but for me, all it does is add blank layer and the selection disappears.  If I paste again, it pastes the item in the middle of the image and I can't move it or change it in any way.
One more question:  in the Filters menu, all of the filters are gray-shaded.  I read that I have to buy these filters, is that true?
Thank you for your help.  If there is a beginner's forum where you would rather I post my questions, please let me know.

Once you have a selection, I use Ctrl C to copy and Ctrl V to paste.  This will add a layer but may not look like it as it is in exactly the same spot in picture.  If you paste again it will show up near middle of picture.
If you want to resize and rotate use Ctrl T.
More options are in Edit/Transform.  I particularly like Warp.
All the filters should be active, but many only work in 8 bit RGB mode.  To see what mode they are in click Image/Mode.

  • How to copy and paste in the Maps app?

    I cant seem use copy and paste in the Maps app. Copy and paste works fine in all other apps but in the "Directions" or "Search" menus, I cant copy the text or paste any text in. Any Suggestions?

    I think it can be a little misleading,u must trying copying a map from Google maps within Safari, not from the Map application itself. It was a little difficult to get it to work, What I did was copy the portion of the page right below the map (it wouldn't work for the map itself) and then drag the copy bars up to the map. i hope it works. www.mobilemediacity.com/iphone/mapmyride-2

    I create a document in Print Shop Delux download pictures from that program to make a flyer. I'am trying to send the flyer to someone and they do not want it as an attachment so I'd like to send it in the body of the e-mail. They lettering on the flyer copy and paste but the picture will not copy and paste. How do I get the picture to copy and paste in the body of the e-mail. I can't copy and paste the whole document because in did a insert text box for the picture.

  • How to copy and paste the text in Russian - 'command+c' erases it

    How to copy and paste the text in Russian - 'command+c' erases it

    I want to publish a book with Blurb. They don't have Russian fonts, so I have to type the text in Russian in Notes in my iPad, send it to my e-mail box, and then open the e-mail box in Mac, and copy and paste the text into the book template of Blurbs. I don't know how to make a Russian keyboard in Mac to be able to type quickly. I asked about it  in the Apple store, and they showed me how to find a Russian keyboard in the net, but it takes much time to type using a screen keyboard, and the texts also cannot be copied and pasted, when they are in Russian. They are erased when I press 'command+C", and all I have is a single letter 'c' instead. No problems with texts in English. Maybe Russian is not supported for copying and pasting?:(

  • How can I copy and Paste in the newly converted PDF to WORD?

    How can I copy and paste in the newly converted document?  I can save it to any Word format and cut within it, but not paste what I just cut or copy and paste.

    Try copying all of the content in your Word document to a new document, then see if you can selectively copy and paste.
    Let us know if that helps!

    Hi DG.
    The easiest way to copy an HP Photo Creations project to another computer is to click the Share button. That will upload the project to the Web and give you a link you can paste into an email. Clicking the link on the other computer allows you to download the project and personalize it. This quick video shows the process. (The screen looks slightly different now, but the concept is the same.)
    Another way to share a project is copy the project folder to a thumb drive. Look in Documents/HP Photo Creations/My Things to find your saved projects.
    Our customer support team would be happy to walk you through the process. Contact them at [email protected]
    Hope this helps,

  • [JS] [CS5] Copy and paste into existing array

    Hi Guys,
    right now I'm trying to improve the performance of a Script I wrote by copying and pasting a PDF instead of loading it 10 times.
    And here's the problem:
    When pasting the copied PDF it doesn't paste it into the array the original PDF is in but this is exactly what I need for the further script.
    Can I somehow paste the PDF into the Array and a specific position [i]?
    I'm adding the important parts of the script.
    Greetings Michael
    var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
    var myPage = myDocument.pages.item(0);
    var myPageHeight = myDocument.documentPreferences.pageHeight;
    var myPageWidth = myDocument.documentPreferences.pageWidth;
    myVertical=new Array();
    var myVerticalCount=0;
    var myStrokeHeight = myVertical[0].geometricBounds[2]-myVertical[0].geometricBounds[0];
    var myStrokeWidth = myVertical[0].geometricBounds[3]-myVertical[0].geometricBounds[1];
    for(i = 0; (myPageWidth-(i*myStrokeWidth))/(i+1) > (myStrokeWidth/3);i++){
                            myHorizontalCount++;
    myVertical[0] = myPage.rectangles.add({geometricBounds:[myPageHeight/2,0,myPageHeight +3,3]});
    myVertical[0].place (File(myFile_Vert));
    myVertical[0].strokeWeight = 0;
    myVertical[0].fit (FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT);
    app.select (null);
                        //It should be pasted into the Array myVertical[i]
                        app.select (myVertical[0]);
                        app.copy ();
                        for(i=1;i<myVerticalCount;i++)
                                app.paste();               //into myVertical[i] somehow

    Doesn't anyone know how to do this?
    If not, is it possible to:
                   1. select multiple grapics in a defined area at once?
                   or
                   2. paste a graphic and add this graphic to a selection without deselecting the items I've selected before?
    thanks in advance

  • How to copy and paste a single pixel

    How to copy and paste a single pixel
    I want to copy a single pixel and then paste it in the
    position of
    another pixel in the same image.
    (This is in effect changing the colour of the target pixel,
    isn't it.
    But in my case copying an existing pixel seems simpler than
    selecting a
    colour from the swatch or using the colour picker.)
    What is the most efficient way of doing this?
    I tried to select one pixel with the marquee tool. Then
    copied it with
    control-C, but then how do I select the target pixel and
    paste with
    control-V?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Copy and Paste into Java Applet

    I know there have been some posts like this in the paste, but could not find a reasonable explanation.
    JVM 1.4.2_08
    For an unsigned java applet (Swing) I could not copy from a notepad document into my applets JTextField and JTextArea fields.
    JVM 1.5
    For this same applet (Swing) running under 1.5, I could copy and paste from the notepad document into my applets JTextField and JTextArea fields.
    Does anybody know why the difference?
    Is there a way to copy and paste for applets running in the 1.4.2 jvm?
    Thanks.

    I think it must be some security restriction.
    Set a policy for the applet or sign it:
    Set a policy (windows):
    C:\Program Files\Java\j2re****\lib\security\java.policy
    under grant {
         permission java.security.AllPermission;
    this means that you give all permission to all code, if you only want to give permissions for applets
    comming from google you can add the following:
    grant codeBase "http://google.com/-" {
         permission java.security.AllPermission;
    to sign

  • How to copy and paste a multi-page table of contents?

    Hi everyone.
    I have a large document with a Table Of Contents extending over two pages. I'd like to copy the entire TOC then paste it into a new Pages document.
    I have been able to copy the TOC however when I try to paste it into a new blank Word Processing pages document the following Error message appears: "The table of contents is empty because none of the paragraph styles selected in the Document Inspector are used in the document."
    I can paste it into a blank Page Layout pages document however it pastes it into a text box with only one page of the TOC in it.  Even if the new Page Layout document has two pages and I extend the text box over the two pages only one page of the TOC is copied into the new Page Layout document. At the moment the only work-around I can do is to take a screen shot of each individual page of the TOC and paste them individually into a new pages document. I have tried exporting the entire original document to a plain text file however all the formating is lost (obviously).  I have also tried exporting the entire original document to a Word document (.doc) however it won't let me copy the multi-page TOC and paste it into a new Word document. 
    Is there any way to successfully copy a multi-page table of contents to a new Pages document?

    The TOC is a hyperlinked text derived from the contents of the file it was generated in.
    You can try exporting the pages the TOC is on as rtf, text or pdf and transferring that, but I would question the value of a TOC for one document being in an entirely different document, which doesn't have what the TOC is pointing to.
    Have you tried copying the T.O.C. Section from the document Thumbnails and pasting into the document Thumbnails of the 2nd document?
    Peter
    How does one export individual pages from a Pages document?
    I've also tried to copy the TOC section from the document thumbnail however I can't figure out how to select multiple pages in the document thumbnails.  It only allows me to select one at a time. Furthermore, when I do select a single page from the thumbnail section and attempt to drag and drop it into the the thumbnail section of the second document it picks up the whole document and wont allow me to move it from the thumbnail section of the original document.
    Shift click to select multiple pages, and I did say Copy and Paste, not drag and drop.
