Hi,
you have written so few info, that is difficult to know how to reproduce the problem. Can you write step-by-step instructions how you got into a problem.
Please also write what is your operating system name and version and what is Pinta version from Help | About menu.
If not already please upgrade Pinta to the latest version. See: http://pinta-project.com/releases
Regards
I am using Pinta from Debian Jessie, version is 1.3
I have been trying to copy images of varying formats into Pinta so that I may manipulate them. However, each time I paste, the pasted images are all cropped.
Only a small portion of the pasted image is displayed.
eg. Open GIMP. Copy an image into the clipboard. Paste into Pinta. Cropped image
Above will install Pinta 1.6 which is way less buggy then 1.3 version. I don't know if this solves the problem, but at least a lot of problems will disappear because they have been fix in later versions.
Please note I am not! Debian user, so I can't test this out. If you are not sure about installing PPAs please ask some question on Debian forum or similar.
OPTION 2: RUN PINTA 1.7-DEVELOPMENT
If you are afraid you will corrupt something with above steps it is safer! way of trying out Pinta 1.7-development version (currently very stable at least as stable as Pinta 1.6). Trying out Pinta-developnent does not! require any installation, just unzip archive, directory with files is created and then run a program. If you don't like Pinta-development you can simply delete directory without harm to your existing system.
1. I strongly suggest you first install Pinta from official repository, so all dependencies are installed like "mono" etc. You already did this, because you are using Pinta 1.3.
2. From web page: http://pinta-project.com/pintaproject/pinta/builds download latest "zip" file. Currently this is: http://ci-builds.pinta-project.com/downloads/pinta-dev-1.7.0.218.zip
3. Unzip the file, like using: unzip <pinta-zip-file>
Note: I don't know if Debian already has some program to unzip the zip archive, if not then package name is something like "zip", probably: sudo apt-get install zip
4. Move to the extracted directory: cd <pinta-directory>
5. There you will see Pinta.exe file. Yes, this looks like Windows file, but it is actually the file that can be run with Mono. So execute command:
mono Pinta.exe
and Pinta should start up. Please check the Help | About menu and there should be version 1.7.xxx.
Please try out your problem and report back if the problem is solved.
P.S. I am currently using Pinta 1.7-development in day-to-day work without big issues in Ubuntu 14.04. I have created keyboard shortcut <Super>+<Shift>+P to run this "mono Pinta.exe" from extracted directory.
