No it's like, if you try to copy a picture in, it automatically crops it to the dimensions of the current canvas. In stuff like GIMP and Photoshop (What I"m used to) you can paste something into the file and move it around without cropping the edges until you set and rasterize the layer.
tl;dr paint sucks lol

GIMP broke on my computer too, I think the new version of X11 is heavily bugged for OSX 10.5
Currently using "Pixelmator" its a sleek, stylish, all black version of GIMP, that doesn't require X11. It works well, and brushes and stuff are easy to install!
Sadly it's like $50 :/

You could just expand the dimensions before you paste the image...
05-18-2010, 23:20

Re: Paper Telephone (EPYC) game
There's no expanding, you have to make a new image large enough to hold the other one, and then you can't resize it, because it resizes and scales the whole canvas.
It's not like MS paint at all :/

Great powerful Scotsmen, in their war kilts, invade Sweden. Using their horseshoe crab clubs, they hit a Sweden man on skis so hard that he sees stars. His girlfriend behind him is shocked, and covers her mouth.
As ABBA continue their lovely skiing holiday in the Swedish mountains, they are attacked by a crazed, IKEA Axe wielding, semi-nude ginger Viking. A local resident of the area points, throws back her blonde hair and laughs as the famous pop group are hacked to lots of tiny pieces by the beardless Viking.
Once upon a time, there was a famous Swedish barbarian warrior wielding the mystical axe. One day the warrior decided to march towards the Swedish mountains where Swedish Ski pros would practice their skill. Watching all this on his laptop, alien with glasses on laughs and eats his favourite chocolates, aka M&Ms. In the distance, Swedish girl with bunny ears, laughed, cleansing all evil in the world.
The purple candy-eating alien was delighted when the movie it was watching on its laptop had a viking join the cast of fluffy bunnies and skiing ninjas.
Scrimshaw, muscular purple gecko-man, is preparing his PowerPoint presentation on his laptop. He is presenting on male Viking Opera singers, formidable skiing Ninja's and hordes of fluffy, yet delicious, rabbits. Scrimshaw is deciding the colour scheme, so is eating skittles for inspiration. Scrimshaw is feeling the pressure so smokes heavily, and his teeth are stained a horrible yellow. Scrimshaw's left arm appears to be in a salute.
A purple dinosaur, who happens to be a black belt in karate, is spitting dirty water balloons, Christmas ornaments, and eggs into the air while smoking a cigarette. Adorned with his viking helmet, huge cigarette, and pet rabbit, he can't help but think of a ninja sitting on a red floor using a macintosh computer.

I was surprised how long sweden, scotsmen, and skis lasted. I guess those are easy to draw and comprehend. The stingrays didn't last too long though.
Sweden lasted about halfway through, until Double A's image. The skis lasted until ArpeggiateTHIS's image, then Splitpersonality did his caption. At that point it was nothing like the original image.

I'm glad to see that I managed to get the major points of the sentence to persist at least halfway through. If my stingrays hadn't been mistaken for horseshoe crabs (meh, close enough), the next caption would have been essentially exactly the same.
Then Winston messed it up with his abstract picture-logic.
Viking>Skiers>Hacked>Pieces. :laugh4:
