I have hundreds of sprites with each move in an individual BMP 96X96.
From these I am making sprite sheets to use with Create Animated Sprite etc.
I use P.S.P. and make a window with a snap to grid for the sprite sheet, then load each group of individual B.M.P\\\'s so that I can copy and paste until I have completed the sheet.
It is so slow and booring with \\\"Select BMP/Copy/Select Sheet/Paste as New Selection/Snap to Position\\\".....over and over again.
Someone said make a Macro but I don\\\'t know how.
As I use Ctl/C and Ctl/E, it would be handy to have this reduced to a single key or R/L mouse click.
Is there anyway I can make life easier over this. Thanks.. Old Wrinkly

Just the 20 people that looked at your message. I thought you were talking about the Playstation Portable at first. It's rare to see Paint Shop Pro referred to as PSP.

So what did you do to speed up the process?

Sorry about the misunderstanding.
I did not realise Paint Shop Pro had "Hidden" icons for Pasting and that they could be arranged to suit.
I put "Copy" and "Paste as new selection" side by side and convenient.
Then I could sit back with the mouse and click away. still very tedious but a lot Qicker than scroling down the copy menu each time
Thanks for the Gluit link, looks good, I'll give it a try.

I know how it is. I always add "select all" and "select none" to the standard toolbar... two things I use very, very often.
