Snoi Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) Pasting with Ctrl+V or menu equivalent turns transparent areas into a "colour" that covers the underlying image being pasted to. Pasting with Ctrl+Shift+V or menu equivalent (i.e. to a new layer) works as it always has in prior releases. This seems to be new behaviour in 4.1.6 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use Windows 10's Snipping Tool to grab anything on your screen 2. Open paint.net then paste into a new image 3. Erase part of it to make it transparent 4. Open or create a new separate image in paint.net (now there are two images being worked on) 5. Go back to the first image that you created some transparency in, by erasing part of it. Select it all (Ctrl+A) and copy it (Ctrl+C) 6. Change to the second image and note what happens when you paste there (Ctrl+V) - the "transparent area acts like a colour and is NOT transparent. 7. Now try "past into new layer" instead (Ctrl+Shift+V). The transparency works as it has with Ctrl+V in all previous versions of paint.net Bug? It's a difference in behaviour between Ctrl+V and Ctrl+Shift+V Edited May 18, 2019 by Snoi Typos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Paint.NET has always worked this way. When pasting into your existing image, ALWAYS use Ctrl+Shift+V to paste your addition into it's own new layer.

Snoi Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 Then my apologies. I must have simply worked on a non-layered image using Ctrl-V for the first time in all these years. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
