Regions: Copying regions
9 of 10
Once created, a region can be copied.
This is very useful in a couple of situations:
-
You want to apply a single tool to multiple areas of your photo
that have the same shape,
for example to blur similarly sized blemishes.
-
You want to apply multiple tools to the same area of your photo,
for example to increase both the contrast and sharpness
of a person's eyes.
Additionally,
when you paste a region into one tool that has been copied from another,
you can paste it linked.
If a linked region is moved or edited,
all the regions it is linked to are likewise moved or edited.
To copy and paste a region:
-
Select the region you want to copy by clicking it.
(Its contour will change from a solid line to a dashed line.)
-
Select Edit > Copy Region.
-
Select the tool in the
tool stack
where you want to paste the region.
-
Select Edit > Paste Region or Paste Region Linked.
