### 3.12. Paste as

This command pastes the clipboard contents. Of course, you must use the „Copy“ command before, so that you have something in the clipboard. Else you will be prompted a warning:

or, if there is something you have forgotten, it will be pasted! There is no way to empty the clipboard.

This command leads to the sub-menu:

#### 3.12.1. Paste as New Layer

The Paste As New Layer command creates a new layer in the active image and pastes the image data from the Clipboard into it. If the data are not rectangular or square in shape, any regions that do not extend to the edge of the canvas are left transparent (an Alpha channel is automatically created). Of course, you have to Copy your selection before you use this command.

#### 3.12.2. Paste As New Layer In Place

This feature is available for both the regular clipboard and named buffers.

#### 3.12.3. Vložit jako nový

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