NIH Image

Displays the contents of the Clipboard in the currently active image window. The pasted object is automatically selected, allowing you to move it by clicking and dragging. With rectangular objects, you can click and drag on the resize handle in the lower left corner to expand or contract the selection.

You can also use the paste command to paste colors copied with the eyedropper tool back into the LUT window or to paste text into a text window.

If you make a rectangular selection in the Camera window, copy it to the Clipboard, paste into another window (without deleting the Camera window), and select Live Paste in the Paste Control window, then pasting will be 'live'. This feature, along with the ability to select different transfer modes, allows the image currently being digitized to be aligned with a previously digitized image.

Text as well as images can be pasted into Image windows. For example, you can copy measurement results to the Clipboard, then paste them into an image window. The text will be displayed inside the current rectangular selection, or, if there is no selection, into a default selection. Use sub-menus in the Options menu to select font, size, style, etc. If the text doesn't fit within the selection, Undo, switch to a different Font or Size (or make a different selection), and try pasting again. Text background is always erased to white, the 'No Background' option in the Style menu is ignored. This is not a problem, however, since you can select the Or transfer mode in the Paste Control window to paste text transparently. When pasting text in the Or mode, you can click in the LUT window to change color or gray level.
