Lost trancparency when pasting PNG from browser? - Karl2345 - 02-10-2019
Hi guys,
I'm having a quit annoying problem for a few days now. If i want to paste a transparent image from my browser (Firefox) into Gimp, the transparency gets lost and what used to be transparent is filled with black. I've tried to copy and paste another transparent PNG from a different browser, but still the same problem. Is there a simple way to solve this problem?
Greetings Karl

It might be a Windows clipboard problem or might be the image itself.
Edit: Loss of transparency is mentioned in this bug report https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/issues/1517
Using linux and Firefox: A search gives this https://i.imgur.com/AnvP9Wd.jpg
Which pastes (ctrl-v) into Gimp as a floating selection, as expected. https://i.imgur.com/w2fsAvy.jpg
The floating selection promoted to a layer: https://i.imgur.com/6opMzps.jpg
If you go to the vexel page then the options are paying for it or a link to a 'free' version. Is that the download you are using?
