Windows 10: why image pixel count increases when pasting in windows11 mspaint unlike in windows10...

after updating to windows11, I noticed this pixel count increase of an image or drawing shape created from msexcel or msword which is not the case happening in the windows10 classic mspaint:here's how I compared:1. in windows11 mspaint, set the background area size to 500x500pixels2. color the whole area, select all the whole the area, then copy and paste it in msexcel3. copy the pasted image from msexcel, open a new mspaint window, then paste it & at the bottom status bar you'll notice the pixel dimension increased from 500x500 to 521x521pixels.4. repeating the above steps but with wind

Increase image file upload size cap

that's a good idea

 

MS Paint copy and paste

Hi,

1. Copying from a saved file have the same issue (whether in word or powerpoint)

2. For instance, when I look at image properties, I have 647 pixels (horizontal) x 786 pixels (vertical). After copy-paste in word and vice versa (copy paste back in mspaint), I get 505 pixels (horizontal) x 614 pixels (vertical.

If you have any idea, I'm all ears.

Thank you for your help.

 

Increase image file upload size cap

Okay, first off, people need to learn to calm down. That includes the OP and everyone replying. I would consider this a very legitimate concern he raises and I'll explain why and what I would suggest to fix it to address all the concerns brought up.

I see three sides to this.

• OneMoar wants to upload bigger files. Generally speaking, most users are lazy so this is a valid concern from a usability standpoint. While I do believe there should be an upload limit, there should be a separate storage limit.
• Concern with bandwidth: I suspect that uploading images is a relatively small amount of bandwidth and that serving up said images is much more costly. So that would put emphasis on getting not putting if bandwidth is a concern.
• Storage, a very real concern because a lot of images adds up quickly which adds a need to efficiently store said images.

So my suggestion (assuming W1zz wanted to do this out of kindness of his heart,) is this:

• Increase upload limit to 10-20MB max.
• Institute a storage limit of 2-5MB max.
• Use PHP's GD library to convert uploaded images to JPEG or PNG.
  • PNGs tend to look nicer than JPEGs, but use more space. Probably preferable for smaller images or images requiring transparency.
  • JPEG tends to be very flexible when it comes to quality and the amount of compression. PHP's GD lib gives you control over this.

So long as the image is uploaded in a format GD can read which includes most commonly used formats, it may not be unrealistic to re-store it in a different format. It's also not unrealistic to use GD to scale the image as well.

I've used GD before and it's relatively easy to use and is relatively quick with respect to performance. I would be willing to write up some examples with respect to how to do it if it were welcomed.

Side note: I see a watermark, GD might be getting used already so this might not be a stretch if the CPU cycles are there to spare.
