copying pictures between projects

[scruffy.thedog]

is there any problems if you copy pictures from one opened web page in one project to another page in another opened project just by copying and pasting? it looks ok to me and seems to display the same characteristics..comments please

thanks

None whatsoever. Perfectly acceptable.

I recall a post some time ago in which it was stated that pasting an image will mean more resources will be used than when importing an image.

This may make a difference when working on large files when you need all the resources you can get. That is, it may make the difference between whether or not the programme hangs or crashes when pushing things to the limit.

WD6 auto optimises to help extend those limits.

New automatic photo optimize features.
When you import a photo e.g. drag and drop a large .jpg file from your digital camera, Web Designer offers to reduce the resolution for you. This can save a lot of memory and disc space. (Most digital camera files are far, far higher resolution that you'd ever want to use on a web page). This can reduce the Web Designer memory and file size from a typical 4Mbytes or more per picture to perhaps 400Kbytes. If you select the 'import reduced' the image is resized to be 1920 pixels across - the same pixel size as a Full HD picture or largest typical size of a 24" computer monitor.
