Jacqueline made some fine suggestions, but I'm having trouble implementing them. First of all, how do you resize an image object to a fomattedWidth and Height?
Secondly, I'm still having a lot of trouble getting my second image to paste separate from the first image. I shrink the first image and move it over to one side of the card. Then I click elsewhere on the card (so the first image is not selected) and paste my second image. Still, the second image appears right on top of the first one, no matter where the first one is located on the screen.
By the way, I'm using Revolution demo. Could that have anything to do with it?
Thanks again for your help!

When you paste an image from the clipboard, Rev opens the painting tools
and creates a new image object. The default size of an image object is
the size of the card. After that, whenever you click in the image with a
painting tool, the image is opened for editing. That's why a second
paste places the new image inside the old one.
To create separate image objects which are automatically sized only as large as the image content, use "Import as control" in the File menu to bring in an image from a file on disk.
If your images are not files on disk, you can still paste from the
clipboard. But after you have created an image object this way, you will
need to use a script to resize the image object to the formattedWidth
and formattedHeight of the object. That will make it smaller. Then when
you do the second paste, be sure not to click inside the first image (so
you won't accidentally open it for editing.) Click elsewhere on the card
before pasting, and the second paste should create a new image object --
which you will also want to resize, since it too will be as large as the
card.
