Inserting a new bitmap by cutting or copying

You can insert a new bitmap based on a pixel selection into the current layer of a document by cutting or copying the selected pixels.

To insert a new bitmap by cutting and pasting a pixel selection:

1. Select an area of pixels using a pixel selection tool.
2. Select Edit > Insert > Bitmap via Cut.

   A new bitmap object based on the pixel selection is created in the current layer, and the selected pixels are removed from the original bitmap object. In the Layers panel, a thumbnail of the new bitmap appears in the current layer, above the object from which it was cut.

To insert a new bitmap by copying and pasting a pixel selection:
