Manipulate copied image of chart object after the copy

[higrm]

Happy Easter!
I have a chart on one sheet and need to copy an image onto a second sheet. I copy the image into a cell and then want to nudge it slightly. My problem is being able to identify the chart I want to manipulate after the copy operation. I copied some code for a function that gave me the id of the last picture I created, which works, but I don't want to need to do that. What is wrong with my Set Pic line which is causing a 424 Object required error? The chart image is being copied to the correct place before the error stops the macro.

    Set cht = Sheets("Graph1").Shapes.AddChart2(, xlRadar, Range("B2").Left + 2, Range("B2").Top + 4, 180)

        cht.SetSourceData Source:=r2, PlotBy:=xlRows

    Dim pic As Object
    cht.CopyPicture
'    Sheets("Graph2").Range("B2").PasteSpecial Operation:=xlPasteSpecialOperationAdd
    Set pic = Sheets("Graph2").Range("B2").PasteSpecial(, xlPasteSpecialOperationAdd)

Macro stops on the last line.

Using the commented out line above the line where I am getting the error, and then using a function to get the id of the last picture on tab Graph2, does allow me to make my tweaks to the copied image, but seems clunky.

I prefer to write my code as compact as possible. Even the "cht.CopyPicture" line seems like it could be skipped by tacking ".cht" to the end of a Range Method and avoid the clipboard entirely.

Is it something obvious? Would you recommend a different method to copy the image of the chart onto the second tab?

Thanks in advance,

Not sure if I did a really bad job of explaining or what I am asking for isn't possible. If it is the explanation part, let me try again.

Sub copyGraphAsImage()
    ActiveChart.ChartArea.Copy
    Range("E9").Select
    ActiveSheet.Pictures.Paste.Select
    Selection.ShapeRange.IncrementLeft 2.5
    Selection.ShapeRange.IncrementTop 2.75
End Sub

What I want is to not have to select cell E9 or to have the graph selected in order to move it. Normally, the image will be placed on a second tab and I do not want to activate that second tab to manipulate this image or any of the other graphs I plan on adding to that second tab. It is all supposed to happen without "Select" or "Activate". Can this be done?

Thanks for any input. Any.
