    Unable to save imported images onto the MS Paint canvas


    I have Windows 11. I have always been able to open and work with MS Paint, which came installed on my ASUS laptop. However, now when I import an image to the canvas, I am unable to save that image. The image disappears from the canvas as soon as I attempt any kind of 'save' operation. Why is this? It was fine two days ago and I notice MS Paint shows it was updated on 11/10/23. I have tried to usual cache clearance, admin runs and updates again, but the problem persists. I use Paint for simple image production and cannot understand why this facility has become so problematic.

    :)

    Saving paintings with canvas color in Fresh Paint app

    I have used canvas color feature on most of my paintings for changing the color of the background. Everything is fine except that I could not export my paintings with the canvas color changed. I have tried to dry the paintings or saving the paintings with
    multiples types of files but none of them worked: all the paintings were exported with white canvas. Is there any possible way for me to save paintings with canvas color?

    I am using Fresh Paint on a Surface device running Windows 10.

    Thank you.

    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

    Redirecting

    Note: Also applies to 10

    Hope this helps

    Regards

    Unable to save imported images onto the MS Paint canvas

    Fresh Paint and importing multiple images

    Hi Victor,

    Thank you for being part of Windows 10.

    • Are you able to import a single image into the canvas for collage?
    • Did you check that by saving each images after the import?

    Please reply to the questions in order to assist you in a better way.
