| Ok,
so let's assume you
found a very cool image on some website, and you're inspired to do
something with it in order to test your special FX skills and play with
Dogwaffle's tools. Of course, if you create something new you'd have to
get the original image owner's permission to use it especially for
commercial purposes, but sometimes even for other reasons, it really
varies with each website. Be sure to check their use policy if posted.
Or just ask them. |

For example, here's a website with cool images of storms and eclipses
and other nature related photography by 'Klipsi', an eclipse and storm
chaser from Switzerland. If you're curious you can see them here
Let's say we are going to work with the one along the left column, "mit
Blaulicht durch die Nacht", just above "Dances with Penguins"

After clicking the thumbnail, you may see the large version of the
image. Right-click on the image to find the browser option, and select
'Copy' or specifically 'Copy Image' (depends on your browser - This one
was done with Firefox 3).
This will copy the image into the Clipboard.

Next switch to Project Dogwaffle, and select
menu: Image
(or Buffer) > Clipboard > Paste new image (alt v)
On some versions you may not see this option (e.g. PD Artist). There
are other ways to get clipboard images into those)
Since you may experiment with this image number of times, you should
store it.
|
Store the current image:
menu: Image
> Store image...
This will grab a copy from the image buffer and show it in a resizable
thumbnail.
|
Of course, on PD Pro 4 you could also have directly pasted the image
from the Clipboard into a stored image thumbnail.
menu: Image
> Clipboard > Paste to stored image...
You can even open an image file from the File menu straight into a
stored buffer.
