Using the Clipboard to copy between applications

You can often use the Cut or Copy command to copy selections between Photoshop or ImageReady and other applications. The cut or copied selection remains on the Clipboard until you cut or copy another selection.

In some cases, the contents of the Clipboard are converted to a raster image. Photoshop prompts you when vector artwork will be rasterized.

Note: The image is rasterized at the resolution of the file into which you paste it.

To change the Export Clipboard preference (Photoshop):

1. Do one of the following:
* In Windows and Mac OS 9.x, choose Edit > Preferences > General.
* In Mac OS X, choose Photoshop > Preferences > General.
2. Select Export Clipboard to save any Photoshop contents on the Clipboard when you exit from Photoshop. If you leave this deselected, the contents are deleted when you exit from the program.
