Yes you can: zoom out, paste, click OUTSIDE the picture, zoom in.

GCP is a wonderful program. I have a hercules graphics workstation card
which supports 256 colors, and GCP actually uses all the colors when
displaying GIF files. The tragedy is that the Windows 3.0 version of GCP
is not going to be sharware because so few people have bothered to pay
the few dollars asked to register the present version. I had a letter
from Kim Levitt which said this. So come on all you people and register
your copy. (I have absolutely no connection whatever with synergistic
enterprises.)

Fireworks is produce by the same company. It must be the best screen
blanker ever written.
