Question re: Paste into Selection

I've recently purchased PSE11 after years of using Jasc & Corel's Paintshop Pro (PSP).
When adding textures to an image in PSP, I would:
  a) copy the image of the texture into the clipboard,
  b) create a new raster layer in the image I wish to add the texture,
  c) select all and then Paste into Selection. 
PSP would paste the texture into the new layer and resize it to fit the dimensions of the background layer.
in PSE11, I can duplicate steps a through c, but I must then select the new layer and apply free transform and manually resize the layer to fit the underlying image.
Is there anyway of forcing the free transform commend to automatically resize the layer? Or is there a better command to use to achieve the same thing?
Any help appreciated. TIA

Unzip and copy the Add Texture.jsx to

Then start or restart the pse 11 editor and the script should be Under File>Automation Tools>Add Texture
I didn't write the script, but just made it available under the automation tools menu.

  • Using text select tool in Preview--pasting into Word

    Hi, since the recent updates made Acrobat Pro 7 unusable (installer crashes, Acrobat crashes upon displaying title bars . . . I've posted on this elsewhere), I have been using Preview. I noticed that when I select and copy a piece of text in Preview and then paste this selection into a Word document the selection is unreadable. Is there any way to make the image readable?

    Liz,
    I have the same problem. Acrobat Reader 7 works well in my computer... I do not know if you can copy/paste into Word. However, I am going to reintall the System X and not do the recent updates (QT7, wireless keyboard and Security from last Friday)

  • Using Photoshop scripting copy a layer and paste into another document at a particular selection

    I want to copy a layer of a document and paste it into another document in the particular layer selection..

    Thanks Badunit for your quick response
    I have found the answer - it is a incompatabilty between CopyPaste Pro and Numbers: -
    Thanks dbg1596 - solved my problem with which I wasted a good couple of hours getting more and more frustrated with numbers 3.0
    I had the same problem - copy a cell - paste into another cell and it created three vertical cells with the pasted data in the middle
    Definitely a problem between CopyPaste Pro - one of the most useful aps on my Mac for the last many years
    Once I quit CopyPaste Pro - no problem with pasting in Numbers 3.0
    But I use CopyPaste Pro all the time
    Have the folks responded to your query?
    But I use CopyPaste Pro all the time - hope that it can be sorted sooner rather than later

  • Copy & Paste into Dialer - Cannot Edit Number!

    I am curious as to why the supposed enhancement to enabling you to paste a number into the Dialer app does not allow you to edit the number once pasted. I do a lot of international calls and people send out email invites (especially US based people) and they send the number as 1 xxx xxx xxxx, omitting the + from the start, which international caller require.
    In previous versions of the OS you could select the number as a link and it would ask you if you wanted to call the number. I had hoped that the cut & paste ability would allow you to paste the number and then edit it to insert the + sign.
    As this is not available I do not see what the excitement is with cut & paste in the Dialer app.
    These little things make all the difference in usability!

    Clearly Apple's developer beta testers did not do enough research on copy past into the dialer pad for INT'L capabilities
    Since they're in so many countries...I'm sure this will be an update soon to follow...
    Apple is "rumored" to read the forums for high level observation ONLY...meaning they may check to see that they have 250 posts on bad battery life after an update...but NEVER reply to the poster...
    In a few articles I've read on Appleinsider.com it is said that some posters actually got emailed at the email they listed in their user profile to answer a follow up question Apple had...this I'm sure is very RARE though and probably would only happen if a specific step or user action needed to be understood to duplicate an error or issue...

    You can make the image a link. You can also select the image
    and draw
    areas on it to make an image map so that different parts of
    the image go to
    different links.

  • Copy and paste into dialog boxes

    Copy and paste into dialog boxes
    Greetings:
    This is a cross post, so sorry about that, but I had originally replied to a previous post,
    before I realized it was probably the wrong forum
    for my question.
    Copying from a document to a dialog box field doesn't work anymore; How do I fix it?
    We have the problem since upgrading to Tiger.
    Our Mac users, during their workflow, paste a filename
    from a document into the 'save as' field (when printing to a .ps file).
    This no longer works. UNLESS they control click in the 'save as' field.
    Then they can select 'paste' with the mouse. Why is this happening? and how can we fix it? (so they can just 'command C' then 'command V' as they used to).
    We have repaired permissions, cleared user caches,
    tossed finder prefs, logged in as another user,
    all to no avail.
    Thanks in advance!
    z

    Matt,
    Thanks for your response.
    I agree that something else is capturing the shortcut, as
    all shortcuts are unavailable in the pulldown menus at that point where we used to be able to 'Command V' paste into the text field. We're not using Quick Keys, and the
    Full keyboard access setings are default for OS 10.4.
    I did experiement with turning of some of the modifier F key selections in the Keyboard system prefs but none made
    any change for this issue. For now our work around will be to control click in the text field and select 'paste'.
    Seems odd that the contextual menu is available for that field but a 'command V' or command control V doesn't work.
    Not a huge deal, more of an irritant, but I'll keep on the hunt! Thanks again!

  • Copy all subform data and paste into another subform

    Need: I would like to have a button within a subform that allows you to copy all the data (many fields) and then paste it into an empty copy of the subform. Of course the info pasted would fill in all the fields etc.
    Reason: We routinely need to move subform data from page 3 in the document to page 11 (example). Currently we insert a new subform and copy/paste each field from 3 to 11 and then delete 3. It would be great to press a copy button in 3 and insert a new subform and paste.into 11.
    Is this possible?

    Steve's advice is good if this is a runtime question - how a user, filling out a form, can copy data from one section of the form to another.
    If this is a buildtime question - how a developer can duplicate a subform to be used elsewhere in the same form or in a different form, you have the following options:
    Duplicate and move. For one off tasks, select the subform in the Hierarchy pallet, and click Ctrl-D. This creates a copy of the subform, with all its contents, which can then be dragged in the hierarchy to its new position.
    Cut and paste. For one off tasks, select the subform in the Hierarchy pallet, and click Ctrl-C. Select the new position in the Hierarchy and then in the Design View (it seems odd to select the same object twice in different pallets, but this is required for the copied subform to be pasted into the right place). Click Ctrl-V
    Fragment. When the exact same subform is going to be used several times in the same and different forms, create a fragment by selecting the subform in the Deisgn View and drag to the Fragment Library pallet. This creates a fragment XDP file. By dragging the fragment onto forms, you are creating links back to the fragment XDP file. Change the fragment and next time you open a form in Designer it will inherit the changes. Fragments cannot be customised for a specific form.
    Common Object. Similar to fragments, you create a common object by selecting the subform in the Deisgn View and drag to the Object Library pallet. The difference is that when you drag a common object onto a form, it is inserting a copy of the subform. The inserted subform is not linked to the common object and so it can be customised for that form and will not inherit changes to the common object.

  • Grainy text after pasting into preview

    Hi,
    I've been having a problem with Preview after upgrading to OS 10.9 Mavericks.  Before Mavericks, I used to construct figures with graphics and text within applications like Keynote.  When I was happy with it, I would select the bit I'd want to save, and then copy and paste it into Preview.  From there I could save as a pdf and everything would retain very high resolution (e.g., text wouldn't appear grainy, and would appear exactly as it did in Keynote irrespective of how far I zoomed in on it).
    However, what happens now is that once I copy and paste into preview, the text now appears very low resolution, and I can't seem to figure out how to get Preview to simply take what I have on my clipboard and paste it as it was from Keynote. 
    Contrary to this, I find that if I use Keynote to export as PDF and use 'Best' for Image Quality, I get text that looks like what I used to get with older versions of the OS.  However, the reason I don't use this option is because I can't control what is selected for exporting to PDF, whereas, my method of copying and pasting my selected content into Preview used to work much better...
    Any suggestions about why this is now happening in Preview for Mavericks and how to get around it?

    I submitted a request to fix the thread and submitted a bug request.

  • How copy article from Internet,paste into document,send as email attachment

    A friend has asked me to do some research for her. She has limited online hours. She wants me to copy articles from Internet, paste them into a document, then send that document AS AN ATTACHMENT to an email. I know how to copy the article, BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PASTE IT INTO A DOCUMENT, NOR DO I KNOW HOW TO SEND THAT DOCUMENT AS AN ATTACHMENT TO EMAIL.
    Normally when I copy and paste, it goes directly into the email. The goal of this method I have been asked to use, is so that the recipient can download the document and read it off line. Thanks for any advice on this.

    Others give good advice, here - but, to answer your question...
    First, you'll need to use a text editor to create the document that will contain the pasted information, and which will become the attachment to your email. TextEdit, which probably came with your Mac, will work. Whatever text editor or word processor you use, be sure to Save the document in a format she can open. Rich text is probably the safest choice, because almost any word processor can open that format.
    So, start TextEdit, and when the new document appears, select Save from the File menu. When the Save window pops up, give the new document a name, and select your Desktop for the location. Down at the bottom of the Save window, for File Format, choose Rich Text Format (RTF). If she is not on a Mac, be sure the Hide Extension box is NOT checked. Click the Save button.
    Now you can start copying and pasting from websites. The process will go like this:
    Select some text, then choose Copy from your browser's Edit menu. Next, switch to TextEdit, put your cursor where you want the text to appear, and select Paste from TextEdit's Edit menu. (If you are going to do a lot of this, it will pay to learn the keyboard shortcuts.)
    Selecting text on web pages can be somewhat frustrating. For really long selections, click once to put your cursor where you want to start copying, scroll down to where you want to end, and - while holding down the Shift key - click again; everything between the clicks will be selected. Try to select text, only. If you paste any graphics into your RTF document, TextEdit will prompt you to re-Save the document in RTFD format. If she really needs graphics, you can do that, but before you do, be sure she can open documents in that format. Most tables on web pages are impossible to copy and paste without the columns and rows going all out of alignment, so screen shots - which are images - are the best bet for tables. (If she can't open a RTFD document, you can convert the FINISHED file to a non-editable, but easily viewable, PDF document by choosing that option from the Print window. Be warned that if you create a long document with many graphics, and then convert it to PDF, the file size can get big - possibly preventing some mail servers from delivering it.)
    When you start pasting into TextEdit, you are going to get all sizes of text in various colors and fonts. If you paste text from a web-page that has white text on a black background, you will not see the white letters on your white page (tip: select the white area). After the first text is pasted into TextEdit, go to the Format menu and select Font>Show Fonts and a new tool window will appear. Select the text you just pasted, and format it to a readable size and font, then de-select the text. From now on, whenever you want to paste: from TextEdit's Edit menu, select Paste and Match Style.
    When you are ready to send the file, Save and Close your TextEdit document. From Mail's File menu, select Attach File. Navigate to your Desktop, select your document, and, if she is using Windows, check the box to Send Windows Friendly Attachments. Click Choose File, to add the attachment to your email.

    How can I copy all the info from a contact card in address book to paste into a documnent?

    The advantage goes to FCP7 if you allow that it can copy and paste filters, audio and video, transformations, and other attributes separately.
    You can do that in FCPX too, as all the things you cited are listed separately in the inspector.
    Here's a little gotcha. Let's say you've color corrected a few clips and you've applied an effect to one and want to paste it the other clips. You switch off color correction and copy the clip. You select the other clips and paste effects. What do you think happens? The effect is applied, but the color correction is applied as well, only it's switched off as it was in the first clip, so all the color correction on the other clips is lost. Fun, eh?
    I'll try to replicate your gotcha - but no, that doesn't sound like fun at all!

  • How can I change the format of text pasted into a Mail email from another document?

    I paste some text from a word document into an email in Mail.  In the word document, the text was indented .5" from the right margin.  In the Mail email document, the text also appears indented .5" from the right margin.
    But since this was the last text in the email I am composing, my text following the pasted-in part continues at the indented "style" of the pasted in text.  And thre are no controls for changing this indentation on subsequent text in that email, nor can you chage the indentation formatting of the text pasted in.
    Even when you select "decrease indentation" under the format/indentation options in the menu bar, Mail will not reduce a "pasted-in" paragraph indentation nor will it return a subsequent text paragraph you type in manually back to a left-adjusted margin.
    Am I miising something?
    Is there a way to see something in each Mail message composition window akin to what you see in a word processing document that allows you to set margins and indentations and tabs for individual paragraphs?  Just like the Formatting controls you have here in the Apple Support communities when you ar composing a message and that I used to indent this paragraph?
    And then used to return this paragraph back to the original left adjusted formatting?
    Steve

    Thanks for the reminder.  I use the formatting toolbar but forgot to go there instead of the Format menubar item for Mail to try the indent and outdent commands.
    But, alas, that indent, outdent option has no impact on text pasted into the message.  It remains stuck at the indent level of the source text.
    Might the answer lie in switching to plain text and formatting there?  Tried that and no difference.
    I did discover that if you highlight text pasted in with its "own" indentation preference "baked in" you can indent that text further and even "outdent" it back to where it was, but you cannot shake it's original indentation status to get it back to full left margins.

  • SQL query works in the SQLPlus, but fires parse error after being cut and pasted into

    Sunny,
    From the error message that you posted it seems that you are putting a semicolon ";" at the end of your query. I checked the query that you have posted. It is working fine for me. (I am using 3.0.8) but I feel it will work in your version also. I tried the query without a ";" at the end --It worked.
    I tried with ";" at the end -- It gave the error that you have posted. So remove the ";" at the end and it should work. If you are still getting the same error then pls write down the version you are using. I will check in that version.
    Thanx,
    Chetan.
