Fresco refuses to to let me paste. The issue is not with my clipboard, If I copy an image from the web and paste it in the 'paint' app on my desktop, it's fine. However, adobe fresco will not paste the image from my clipboard for me

    Having the same issue on my Win10 desktop machine. After taking a screenshot from the native snipping tool or a 3rd party screenshot tool, I get the below error Layer paste failed message when clicking on a layer and using "Paste from Clipboard"

     

    I have uninstalled fresco and resinstalled it. I've cleared clipboard data. Pasting the image from the clipboard works into other softwares still so its clearly something with fresco and the issue just started today (Feb 28, 2023)

      It's RGB and under 600 DPI, right? The only time I've had trouble pasting something was opening a file I scanned and it was still in grayscale, or I never changed the resolution (I'm a nutjob who prefers to scan physical artwork at 800-1200 DPI)

      Does it happen with images from all sizes?
      is it just the copy and paste or with the import option as well?

      and more importantly, is it on an Ipad/tablet or is it on a windows desktop?

      Yes, it happens with images of all sizes. Importing image files is okay, it is just a problem with the 'paste from clipboard' function. Like the person below, I have also reinstalled fresco, same problem. Pasting works fine on the older version, it is a problem with the new version only.

        I have just tested it and it works for me, either with the snipping tool or a simple CTRL+C and CTRL+V

        Which version do you have?
