Question

Answer 1

You can only copy and paste to your hard drive. You have to upload pictures to web site. Click the brows button to upload them.

Answer 2

YOu cant do it through the keyboard. You should have the picture copied, then go to the top menu bar and chose Edit > Paste.

Answer 3

Have you tried opening the images in Photoshop first and then selecting all (CTRL+A) and then copy and paste (CTRL+C - CTRL+V) into the new image? It should paste it onto a new layer.

If you're trying to paste it into a jpg image you may need to turn the background into a 'layer' first (just double click on the background image icon in the layer panel) so it says 'Layer 0'.

Cheers

Answer 4

Try saving the picture and then opening it in the program.
