- Click Edit->Cut or press "Ctrl+x" to cut the selected portion of the image.

- The selected portion in the image gets sliced. You may may use the sliced part to paste in a new file or even in a new layer.
The below portion provides you the information regarding the paste methods in GIMP.
- Open GIMP and launch a new image file.
- Now select a portion in the image.
- Then choose either "Cut or Copy" option, to cut or copy the image.
- Click Edit -> Paste.

- Then the image gets pasted.
- The Paste Into option pastes the image over the existing image. The pasted image can be moved.

- Then click Edit -> Paste as.

The Paste as option provides four more options, which allows the user to paste the image in various styles. The options are "New Image, New Layer, New Brush, New Pattern".
- Select any one of the options. For e.g. New Image from "Paste as". This will automatically paste the image in a new window.

- The New Image & New Layer option do not require any additional process. Just click it and the image gets pasted.
- Finally click "File -> Save" to save the file.
