Hello Cameron

The desktop is the default one that is install with Ubuntu 18.04
(Gnome). I did not install any funnies that I can recall that should
influence the display. As mentioned, the previous  version 1.6 word
correctly in that the picture changed interactively.

Playing again with the feature, it seems that not all images are
affected as much the one I worked with. I attached a sample that
illustrate the issue very well. In my case it is a snapshot from a
video. I then changed the snapshot to black and white. On my machine the
sepia background changed to a faded blue tinted one. To improve B&W
printing, I then use the contrast option. It hardly changes
interactively, but when pressing the OK, the background becomes white
and the printout is good. I tested Pinta on totally different machine
also running 18.04 with the same results.

I hope this will assist you to fix the problem.
