I have a square in the upper right hand corner and a transparent background. When I copy to paste in a new window, it pastes it in the center. I want it to paste in the upper right corner where I created it. I know that I can put a pixel in the lower left corner and that helps to place it in the upper right corner, but still not exactly where I want it. PLUS, doing that means taking up more space than just a square in the upper corner.

I have created four different files, each with a square in a different corner with a transparent background and want to be able to open each file separately, copy it and paste it into a new file and have all four squares EXACLTY where they should be (instead of all showing up in the center).

Can it be done? And if so, how to do it with it taking up as little space as possible. Thanks. And if the only way to do it is to put that pixel in the opposite corner, how to put the pixel there so the square shows up exactly where I want it (when I put the dot in the opposite corner, it makes it slightly off when I paste). Thanks.

I am VERY new to Photoshop (we bought CS2), so I don’t know/understand very many terms, so please explain like you would to a 6 year old. 🙂

Thanks, Paula

Is there a way to do it with just copying and pasting?

I also want this to be able to work in other programs (like photoshop elements, paint shop pro, etc.) so they are able to do the same thing (copy each layer and paste it into a new file and have all four squares show up where they are supposed to be).

Thanks again,
Paula
