Painter Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I found an image on the internet which I wanted, then I right clicked on it, and then selected "copy" and then I go into Paint. net but there is no paste option?? What the [expletive]! lol However, if I go into MS Paint, and I select paste, then "poof" there it is folks! Please don't tell me that Paint.net has it's own separate clipboard... This is a great program for sure, but how could something so basic and simply like that be overlooked? When do you people plan on selling this program? Good piece of work. A credit to your team. I don't know about you, but I can't stand people like myself who complain and yet haven't paid a cent? What is this world coming too? lol But seriously, what's the catch with the "free" program?

Rick Brewster Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Paste should be working fine, I copy+pasted an image from IE just now. Maybe you've got something going on with your clipboard -- I know that Firefox sometimes doesn't quite "get" the clipboard (which is rather aggravating, argh!).

Crazy Man Dan Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I've never had trouble copying images from FireFox to the clipboard, but I have noticed that FireFox has the same quirk as The GIMP when copying to the clipboard: the Alpha channel is changed to black, so any transparency is nullified. At first I thought the problem was with Paint.NET, but then I pasted from the clipboard back into The GIMP, and I noticed the same blackness. Maybe it has something to do with the GTK+ Library? They (FireFox, The GIMP) are both natively Linux programs, but I don't know if FireFox uses GTK+. I dunno, I'm no programmer. I'm just making myself sound stupid... Anyway, I'd say it'd be a safer practice to save the images to your local hard drive, then File -> Open... (or Open in New Window...) to get at it.

Mangix Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 firefox does use GTK+ along with the GIMP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
