Used to cut an image inside an area from the active image to the clipboard for subsequent pasting.

This tool operates on the currently selected image(s). Select an area in the view of the selected image(s) and cut it to the clipboard. The function will read sections in as many files as the area overlaps. If the pixel size is not the same in all the files, the images will be resampled to the smallest pixel size to avoid loosing information in any files.

To avoid problems caused by images with different color types, the information is kept in 24 bit in the clipboard.

The copy function is WYSIWYG, which means that transparency, contrast, brightness, gamma correction and more will be applied before the data is copied to the clipboard.

When “Work in Image Plane” is ON, the cut image is initially placed without rotation according to the image plane. Manipulations of the cut image in 3D (move, scale and rotate) are done on the image plane. The cut region stays always on the working plane. Project the cut area on the raster in the direction of the view (Perspective allowed). Perspective model will not force a resampling.

Manipulations of the cut image in 3D (move, scale and rotate) are done on the active view plane. The cut region is always on the view plane. Project the cut area on the raster in the direction of the view (Perspective allowed). Cut may require resampling with a perspective model.
