1. The copy to clipboard feature in Vegas works great when I want to import the image into photoshop but how to do I copy that clipboard image straight back into Vegas without first saving it in photoshop?
2. I receive email notifications when I ask a question but how can I receive notifications from all new posts? I'd like to be able to see and keep up with all that happens on the forum.
Thanks.
From Wikipedia re clipboard:
The clipboard is a buffer that some operating systems provide for short-term storage and transfer within and between application programs. The clipboard is usually temporary and unnamed, and its contents reside in the computer's RAM.
if you want to keep a permanent image file, it's better to choose the 'Save Snapshot to file' button rather than the 'Save Snapshot to Clipboard' button. With the 'save to file' choice, the saved image is also added to the Project Media window. Even with that approach and for me using PaintShop Pro rather than PhotoShop, I still create a new 'save' when exporting from PSP and then import it into Vegas Pro. Though I haven't tried it, I imagine that you could process the image in your image editor and save/export to replace the originally saved image file ... but then you'd have to import the image file onto the timeline from the Project Media window. The downside - the original 'save' is gone having been replaced by the processed image in your image editor.

You can use Windows' built-in Paint app to save the clipboard image as a png/jpg file and import it to Vegas.
Of course, if Vegas could allow pasting clipboard images directly into the project media window in the future, that would be a great new feature.

Use the "Save Snapshot to File" option instead? Then it saves the image to a file and automatically adds it to the project media.

Exactly ... as I pointed out in my earlier comment.

OP may refer to a clipboard image from other softwares, such as a Chrome browser, Word, Photoshop, PowerPoint, etc.
2. I think early in the Magix Vegas forum era it was an option and my inbox got "mighty crowded" pretty fast. See the bolded topics on the main forum area for new comments.
Happy Otter Scripts allows you to set up a photo editing software where you can do this.
