Corel PaintShop Pro Help | Copying images into other applications

Copying images into other applications

The proliferation of high-resolution digital cameras and scanners has resulted in images with very large file sizes. When copied to the Windows Clipboard, these images consume far more memory than what is required after they are pasted into another application. You can use the Copy Special commands to more efficiently place image data on the Clipboard for pasting into office productivity software, such as word-processing, presentation, and e-mail applications.

To copy images for use in other applications

Edit workspace

1

Choose Edit

Copy Special.

2

In the Copy Special submenu, choose one of the following commands:

•

Copy for Professional Printing — copies the current image to the Clipboard at 300 dpi

•

Copy for Desktop Printing — copies the current image to the Clipboard at 200 dpi

•

Copy for Screen or e-mail — copies the current image to the Clipboard at 96 dpi

Note: These three submenu commands all automatically flatten the current image to a single layer and convert the image depth to
8-bit/channel RGB.

3

Switch to the application into which you want to paste the image, and press Ctrl+V.

If you want a wider range of resizing and file format options for images to be used in other applications, choose File Save for Office. For more information, see To save images for office applications.
