(Editing) COPY / PASTE FROM ONE IMAGE TO ANOTHER

The section describes how to take a portion from one photo and to PASTE it into another photo. You can either paste a region of an image, OR you can paste an ENTIRE imge. Below is a step by step process that shows you how to do this:

COPYING ENTIRE IMAGE:

Load photo: From the main Photo Jockey window, click on an image to load and view it. This is the image you want to COPY from.

Click on the EDIT menu from the main menu, and then choose "Copy Image To Clipboard".

COPYING A REGION OF AN IMAGE:

Load photo: From the main Photo Jockey window, click on an image to load and view it. This is the image you want to COPY from.

Click on the SUN button: Just click on the EDIT menu from the main menu, and then pick "Adjust Colors". Or you can  click on Sun button on the "Quick Tools" panel.

Select the "Draw Region For Cloning, Pasting": There is a pulldown list located to the left of the "Full Sized Preview" checkbox.

Draw the selected portion to COPY: You can draw around the area (region) of the photo that you want to paste into another photo.

Click on the "Copy" button: This button is located on the "Copy / Paste Region Settings" window. It looks like scissors. This copies the region onto the clipboard so that you can later paste it from the clipboard.

Click Cancel: The is located on the main Color Adjusting window next to the HELP and ACCEPT buttons. This brings you back to the main Photo Jockey window

PASTING WHAT YOU COPIED:
.

Load Another Photo: Load the photo you want to PASTE into.

Click on the SUN button:

Select the "Draw Region For Cloning, Pasting":

Draw a tiny circle where you want to PASTE: Draw a small circle where you want to paste the copied portion of the first photo.

Click on the "Paste" button: This button is located on the "Copy / Paste Region Settings" window. It looks like a clipboard and is located next to the scissors button. This allows you to either paste a region you had previously copied (non-standard), or to paste an entire image from the clipboard (Standard). This pasted image goes into your working image into the spot you had drawn in the previous step.

OPTIONS AFTER PASTING:
After you have pasted into your second photo, you can perform many functions to get your desired results.

You can Mirror or Flip the pasted area to get the proper alignment.

You can also use the "Overlay Strength" sliders to control how strong(visible) the pasted region should become.

You can also use the "Region Copy Size" slider to control how large the pasted area should be. So, if your pasted head was too small, just change it's size. You can go from 25% to 400% of the original pasted size.

You can also use the "Edge Blending Amount" slider to smooth the pasted region's edges into the main image.
