# Copy Region Operations

Use a Copy Region tool to perform a number of copy operations on a single image or two separate images:

- Copy a portion of an input image to a new output image.
- Copy a portion of an input image to an existing destination image.
- Fill in a portion of an input image with a constant grey value.

In the following example, an application uses a Copy Region tool to copy just the desired barcode information to a new image:

The tool performs a pixel by pixel copy operation, with no scale or rotation changes. The tool accepts all supported image types including 16-bit encoded images, allowing you to use and generate images with a bit depth of 8-bits, 10-bits, 12-bit, 14-bits and 16-bits.
