LOTS of keyboard shortcuts. I certainly don't use them all, but the ones I do use often enough to remember them are: Ctrl-A: Select All Ctrl-D: Deselect Ctrl-E: Merge down (Merges current layer with one below)Ctrl-H: Hide selection border Ctrl-L: Adjust Levels and of course: Crtl-C: Copy to clipboard Ctrl-X: Cut to clipboard Ctrl-V: Paste to a new layer Page Up and Page Down: Scroll the view up or down 1 page Shift-Page Up and Shift-Page Down: Scroll up or down 10 pixels. Ctrl-Click on a layer thumbnail in the Layers Palette selects all non-transparent pixels on the layer. There are many, many more, I just don't ordinarily use them. If you copy a selection to the clipboard, then create a new file, the default file size and resolution will be that of the copied selection, so the selection will paste into it exactly. Gromit
