Windows 10: Copying Image to Microsoft Paint

I currently use Microsoft Paint on a Microsoft Surface Pro 7. I use the Surface Pro while I am deployed overseas, my desktop is at home in the states. When I try copying an image from online and paste it into Paint, the image becomes like half the size of its original resolution, and that is when I have the Zoom set at 100%. When I use the PrtScn key, it copies the image just fine at 100%. How do I remedy getting the image to the correct size it should be at 100% zoom without resizing the image? Paint also loads my files at a much smaller size as well.

Microsoft signals end of Paint program

Microsoft has confirmed that it will continue to offer its graphics program Paint.

In a recent update, it had listed Paint as a feature that would be either removed or no longer developed.

Paint, renowned for its simplicity, has been part of the Windows operating system since its launch in 1985.

Microsoft suggested it would not remain on Windows 10 by default but did say it would be available for free on the Windows Store.

Cannot edit images when saved in Fresh paint

Hi Kamila,

As per the information, I understand that when you save an image drawn in Fresh Paint, you are unable to edit the image once saved.

If the above is true, I suggest that you follow the steps below to save the image in a manner that will allow you to edit it.

• To save your painting right click on fresh paint and click on
  Save as. You will get an option to select the location.
• Select the location and save the painting.
• When you reopen fresh paint you will be on the painting you used before closing fresh paint. If you do not get the painting, you may click on image and go to the location and select the image to edit.

For added information on Fresh Paint refer to the FAQ below
