PaintShop Pro Tricks and How to's


Pasting transparent:

It's a mistake to believe that a transparent layer must be created. You can avoid the disadvantage of having to reduce the palette to 256 colours.
  1. Edit an image and reduce areas that are to be treated as transparent in pasting to one colour "C".
  2. Select and copy.
  3. Go the the receiving image and select that "C" as the background colour.
  4. From the Edit menu, use "Paste as transparent". The "C" areas will not be pasted.
