Mark and copy complete picture

[Frank Walter]

Hello

I am using on my MacBook 10.6.8 ImageJ Version 1.47q
Often I just want to use it to emphasize some screenshots.
So I paste the screenshot from clipboard to ImageJ, make a selection and press CMD+D for Draw.
Now I select all and I want to copy the screenshot WITH my drawn selection to the clipboard.
But: only the original screenshot is copied, not my selection.

How can I combine my drawn selection with the screenshot?
Why isn’t it copied when I press CMD+A (for select all) and CMD+C (for copy)?

Thank you

frank

Hi Frank,

You can use the Plugins > Utilities > Capture Image command, that will
create an RGB flattened version of you annotated image.

Because you're a mac user, you could also use the builtin mac
"shift-ctrl-cmd-4" shortcut and paste to a new image or other
software.

Jerome.

Hi Jerome,

thank you.
So with the Plugin I can capture to another, new ImageJ Window, but not directly into the Clipboard.
And it doesn’t work anyway, because in the new window now I select all and copy it, but I have the copy without selection in my clipboard.
Anyway it is a bit “far away”, not very handy.

The Mac Screenshot System is working, this was what I used till now, but I thought a sophisticated app like ImageJ, MUST have a fast and exact way to get this basic command.
The thing is, that with the mac screenshot, I need to cut carefully and very exact, to create a very exact Screenshot, looking not semi-professional.
With SHIFT+CTRL+CMD+4 and SPACE unfortunately I get the whole window with the menu of ImageJ, which doesn’t look professional neither.

No plugin for this maybe?

Hi Frank,

you should use "Edit > Copy to System" to make the current selection
(inlcuding everything you've drawn using Cmd-D) available to
applications outside ImageJ/Fiji.

Hth,
Jan

Good heavens!
This easy it is!
Thank you very much, Jan!
I immediately created a shortcut (Y) for 'Copy to System', so now it is very fast:

1. cmd+V (paste)
2. make my selection with rectangle tool etc.
3. cmd+D (draw)
4. shift+Y (copy to system)

fast and easy, thanks :)

Hi Frank,

You can use Plugins --> Utilities --> Capture Image to duplicate both
the screenshot and the selection which can be copied to the clipboard in
a conventional manner.

Hi Frank,

if you want to copy to the system clipboard (for use in other programs), you have to use Edit>Copy to System
