Copy Merged is cropping the image when it pastes

[rachelradschlag]

I am selecting my entire canvas and then clicking 'Copy Merged' and pasting it into a powerpoint. I have been using this same process for awhile, but for some reason when I pasted my image into powerpoint today it was cropped down. My image is supposed to have some blank space on all four sides. When I pasted it into powerpoint it no longer had this space...any solutions to this?

Sounds like your blank space is just that, blank (transparent). You need to fill that blank space with white. Copy Merged will ignore any transparent areas.

Photoshop will crop away blank pixels as far as it can if you need to do it then save the image and then load the image into whatever application your using

you may be able to get away with using a base layer at 1% opacity to trick photoshop or your clipboard.
