Buffers
It is an exchange buffer. Sometimes you need to copy several elements of the image and
load them one by one.
First of all, let’s look at a command EditBuffer. A list of additional commands opens:
Note!
Cut Named – cuts the content of the selection and pastes it in an exchange
buffer named by you. A name is necessary to recognise the buffer among
others.
Copy Named – a new exchange buffer is created, in which the selection you
copy and name is stored.
Copy Visible Named – the selection of all visible layers is stored in a newly
created exchange buffer.
In all the cases above, a Copy Named dialog opens:
Enter a name in the input box for a selection stored in the exchange buffer.
Paste Named – the content of the exchange buffer selected is pasted into the
image. After you select this command, a Buffers dialog opens. Click on the
buffer, the content of which is to be pasted.
Open the list of special commands (B) (see Chapter “Structure of a dock”). Select a
command Add TabBuffers, and the list of 4 tabs is supplemented with a new Open
the named buffers dialog tab. A Buffers dialog opens, where you can find all
selections stored in exchange buffers.
