The Cut command deletes the contents of the image's selections, and saves them in a clipboard so that they can later be pasted using the ΓÇ£PasteΓÇ¥, ΓÇ£Paste IntoΓÇ¥, or ΓÇ£Paste As NewΓÇ¥ commands. If there is no selection, the entire current layer is cut. The areas whose contents are cut are left transparent, if the layer has an alpha channel, or filled with the layer's background color, otherwise.
