# Alignment

The Copy Region tool allows you to copy the input region of the input image and paste it into the contents of some destination image. By default, the input image and the destination image align themselves at the top-left corner of each image, at image coordinate (0,0) in the current coordinate space. This alignment causes the input region to be placed in the destination image at the same location it uses in the input image:

Use the Alignment tab of the Copy Region edit control to specify a different alignment between the two images. For example, if you specify a coordinate of (150, 150) for the destination image, the tool aligns the destination image at point (150, 150) in the output image:

The settings in the Alignment tab have no effect if you do not provide the tool with a destination image:

Use the following parameters to align the images:

Parameter | Description
--- | ---
Use Image Alignment | Enable a particular alignment of the input image with the destination image. By default, the tool aligns the images at coordinate (0, 0) of each image.
Input Image Alignment | Use the X and Y fields to specify the point in the input image you want to use to align the images. Click the Fit In Input Image button to move the alignment point to the center of the input image.
Destination Image Alignment | Use the X and Y fields to specify the point in the destination image you want to use to align the images. Click the Fit In Destination Image button to move the alignment point to the center of the destination image.
