Hi Gabriel,

you could use imp.copy(false) and imp2.paste. It does the same  
without "IJ.run", also using the clipboard.

One level deeper - without the clipboard - I fear that you would have  
to write it yourself, with a loop and ip.getPixel, ip.set (or  
ip.putPixel).

The Blitter commands like ip.copyBits always take a full ip as a  
source; this won't help.
