Copy and paste

Throughout this post I’m going to explain how to copy and paste on Photoshop. Coping and pasting is fairly simple to do perform, and is a huge part of using Photoshop.

Initially you have to open a file fit to work with. I did this by clicking file (in the top right corner), next I selected New. It then gives you the option to change the setting of the file, I wanted the page to be A3 so I achieved this by pressing the little downward arrow next to preset and then selected international, after that I changed the size from A4 to  A3 by pressing the downwards arrow next to size and selecting A3. (Here is a little tip for you guys, depending on where you have sourced your image, effect what you set your resolution to. My images were taken by me so I set my resolution to 300 however, if you are using images sourced from the internet then you will have to set it to 72).

Moving on, I opened an image up so I could then move onto copying it. To do this, return back to the file button and click opened (Ctrl+O can also be used for this) that will then give you the option to select a image you have saved in your files.

Once the image has opened, selected the rectangle marquee tool; which is the second tool down to the left side of the scene, it is a square box with broken lines.
