# Cut, Copy, and Paste Applied to Images and Primitives

The Image Editor supports the standard Cut, Copy, and Paste operations found under the "Edit" menu. The "Cut" command deletes selected shapes and places them in the clipboard. The deleted item remains on the clipboard until the next time you use the "Cut" or "Copy" command. You can use the "Paste" command to paste as many copies as you want from the clipboard into the image. Shapes can be deleted without changing the clipboard by using the "Delete" command.

The clipboard is shared among all active Image Editor session. You can copy graphics from one image into another by activating the source edit window, using the "Copy" command, then activating the destination editor and using the "Paste" command.
