If it is a normal layer then everything's fine - however if it is still floating then the select tools produce this cropping-like behavior. Is that deliberate? In the meantime, Keith, try the "Paste As > New Layer" command. Or maybe use the actual Crop tool (not Rectangle tool) with "Current layer only" enabled - works on floating layers too. -- Stratadrake strata_ranger hotmail com -------------------- Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth. |
