Issue with copy/paste and scaling - harasnicole - 05-14-2021
I don't know if it's something I did without realizing it or something else, but every time I try to copy an entire image and paste it to the transparent background that I have waiting in another tab, the image is really closely cropped and I can't scale the image without it looking stretched anymore.

If it helps, my OS is Windows 10, 64-bit.
Also, here's a screenshot of what I mean:

Hold down the Shift key while scaling the image. This would maintain the proportions (aspect of the image).
