docnich Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I will often copy full webpages and paste the results in paint.net in order to edit the page and save them as pdf's. Recently, when copying the page and pasting it in paint.net, I will get a blue hue to all of the pictures. If I choose to save the file and open it in paint.net, the pictures are fine. Also, if I paste it to window's paint the pictures are normal. I can even copy it from window's paint, and paste it in paint.net and the pictures are fine. If I just do print screen to copy the visible page and then paste in paint.net, there is no color alteration. I am using firefox as my browser and I paint.net version 4.2.4. I am including pics of how I copy then one pic of just pasting to paint.net and one of pasting in window's paint then copying and pasting to paint.net. The blue one is the straight paste to pdn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyReZ Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Greetings! It appears that you are using some Add-on to Firefox that allows you to do web page capture. The bluing of the image is probably just an indicator that the image is being highlighted for capture but has no effect on the capture itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docnich Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 It does have an effect on the capture if pasted into paint.net. I did one capture and pasted in paint.net and pasted in windows paint. The paste in windows paint was the exact same as the screen, but the paint.net was altered.

TastyTreeko Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I am experiencing this same issue. Prior to version 4.2.4 copy/pasting from Firefox using the embedded tool worked perfectly. Now the same procedure induces a blue hue over all captured screenshots. A workaround is to first paste into Windows Paint then into Paint.NET, but I'm hoping that whatever incompatibility was introduced with this latest patch can be resolved.

vvye Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) This happens on my end as well. It may have something to do with Firefox too, but I've never had it happen before the recent paint.net updates. Occasionally, it also happens to copied images (not just screenshots). It looks like the colors are off in such a way that the hue adjustment tool can't correct it. Edited September 22, 2019 by vvye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Rick Brewster (the developer of Paint.NET) has been recently making changes in the clipboard code of Paint.NET in order to fix some issues. This code is incredibly touchy (as you probably have noticed)... Rick doesn't always have all the software on his system as you might have. So, to help him debug the problem, follow the instructions on how to share your clipboard contents with him at this link: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/114697-error-pasting-images-from-outlook-in-42-update/?do=findComment&comment=560660 Once he gets the .CLP file, he can start to debug the problem. NOTE: without sending him the .CLP file, there is NO WAY for him to debug the problem. If you want a fix, spend a few minutes and help him debug the problem. THANKS! 2 Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvye Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Alright, I just sent a testcase his way. Thanks for the info! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Okay I got the file from @vvye. I'm able to reproduce the issue and might be able to fix this for the 4.2.5 release. Thanks! For now you'll need to first paste into mspaint and then copy/paste it over to PDN. 2 Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minespatch Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Thanks Rick! I noticed this since a week ago. Thought it was a problem with just webpngs again from fandom but I guess this is a bigger problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
