Make the file A4 - later make the second object and copy to New Document for plotter cutting. Make like that - A4 new document - make the countour cut - COPY TO CLIPBOARD and Make New From Clipboard - sizes its from a..... Every its in mm :(. Whats happend.

This is a full-size screenshot of an image I copied into a) on the right, Photo (1.9.0.932), and b) on the left, PSP 2019. Which would you prefer? Well, Photo, actually, but this worries me. Should I? Or have I got some setting in Photo not set? David

I recently noticed that creating a new document using the "New from Clipboard" entry in the "File" menu improperly pastes the image from the clipboard into the document. Here's an example image at 400% scale: Here's the same image, pasted from the clipboard into Affinity Photo using the "New from Clipboard" function; again, scaled to 400% after the fact: Now, not just the visuals are messed up, but also the image dimensions. The original image is 72x38 pixels, while the one pasted into Photo is 73x39 pixels. In Photo itself, the dimensions are shown as 72.3x38.3 pixels. So, to sum it up: the image from the clipboard gets incorrectly resized ever so slightly, messing up the original and also setting weird floating point dimensions on the document. Edit: After carl123 also tested this, it became clear this doesn't always happen. Here are clear reproduction steps: Open the attached sample image in Microsoft's Paint. Copy it to the clipboard from within Paint. Use "New from Clipboard" in Affinity Photo to create a new document with the sample image in the clipboard. Observe the described bug. photo_bug_sample.zip
