bmesser	Posted - Apr 18 2025 : 05:43:15 Hi This may be a silly question but... Is there anyway that I can copy an image as a JPG or a PNG into the clipboard rather than a bitmap using ImageENview? I realise I can save a screenshot as a JPG and then drag it into X or Bluesky, but using the clipboard makes it quicker to post images directly from my apps. The compression they use when I copy and paste produces a fuzzy image. I'm just wondering if doing it this way will fix it. Bruce.

xequte	Posted - Apr 18 2025 : 20:42:17 Hi Bruce JPEG and PNG are file formats (i.e. used when loading/saving), whereas the clipboard contains content, in this case an image stored as a bitmap and (actually) a quasi-PNG type format for alpha support. Another way to think about it is that if you were to copy a "JPEG" to the clipboard, to save it you would need to paste it into an image editor, and then save it again (in which case there was no advantage to using a format on the clipboard). I don't know X or bluesky, but if they allow you to paste a file, e.g. in the same way you can copy and paste files in Explorer, then you can do that using: http://www.imageen.com/help/CopyFilesToClipboard.html Nigel Xequte Software www.imageen.com
