Is there a way to cut a part of an image and then paste it as a new image?


Cheers,

Mike
 
Select (with rectangle marquee tool,lasso or any other selection tool) the area you want to copy, ctrl+c (to copy) then ctrl+v(to paste). If you want to copy the selection to a new window, you can just select file/new and it will automatically size it for you.
 
I do this all the time, just memorise the ketstrokes to do it quickly

select with marquee tool
ctrl + c (to copy)
ctrl + n (for new image)
enter (the new image defaults to the size of whatevers in your clipboard)
ctrl + v (to paste)

I have recorded and action to do this. Then assign it to a keyboard short cut
