# Paste as New Image

The Paste As New Image command creates a new image and pastes the image data from the Clipboard into it. If the data is not rectangular or square in shape, any regions outside the selection are left transparent (an alpha channel is automatically created). Of course, you have to copy your selection before you use this command, so that you get an image with the same dimensions as the selection.

This command has the same action as the File Create From Clipboard command.

## Activating the Command

- You can access this command from the main menu through Edit Paste as Paste as New Image ,
