Moving, copying, and deleting objects

Corel PHOTO-PAINT lets you move an object or part of an object to a new location in the same image window or to another image window. You can also copy an object, or part of an object, and paste it into an image. To copy and paste between image windows, you can drag and drop an object from one window to another.

When you move or copy part of an image, you must first define an editable area for that part of the image. You can also move or copy an object into an editable area. For more information about defining editable areas, see Defining editable areas.

When you no longer need an object, you can delete it.

The selected photo object is moved from the top-left corner to the lower-right corner.
