there are few inconveniences with pasting:
- it's not possible to move pasted image around
- if no selection exists - image will be pasted to the top-left corner (0,0px), even if this area is not offscreen
- if selection exists - image will be pasted inside selection, following its ratio (can be altered with pasteKeepRatio=true)


Suggestion

• add paste panel
  same panel as 'Add watermark', plus
  - XY position controls
  - rotation controls (same as for crop panel)

• improve behviour
  • placement & movement
    • keep pasted image selected, so its possible to move it around
      - pressing Enter executes Apply action
    • add snapping/sticking to the borders of target image
  • selection handling
    • if selection exists
      - resize source to fit selection (existing behavior, leave it as feature)
    • if no selection exists
      - paste source 'as is'
      - if top-left corner of the image is not visible - paste into top-left corner of viewport (like in mspaint)
  • size & canvas adjustment
    • (optional) add 'Increase canvas (if required)' checkbox
      if source is larger than target - increase target's canvas size (like in mspaint)
