Windows 10: Ms paint issue that I was curious about.

I was working with a scanned picture in paint. I had wanted to outline and color it . Saved a separate copy of the image and when I came back to it, the solid red lines that were used to outline the picture were all different shades of red and pixelated. The fill bucket tool would only fill one pixel at a time. I tried to look up the issue online but nothing came close.

Not sure if this is the place to ask but I just wanted to see if any one else had this happen.
