### 3.8. Paste

The Paste command puts whatever is in the Clipboard from the last „Copy“ or „Cut“ command into the current image. The pasted section becomes a „floating selection“ and is shown as a separate layer in the Layers Dialog.

If there is an existing selection on the canvas, it is used to align the pasted data. If there is already a selection, the data is pasted using the selection as a center point. If you want the selection to be used as a clipping region for the pasted data, you should use the „Paste Into Selection“ command.

| Забележка
You can have only one floating selection at any one time. You cannot work on any other layer while there is a floating selection; you have to either anchor it or remove it.
