PMV 3.30 build 23853
Tested under both 'doze & OS/2 (same build)

I scan to a largish (~18MiB) TIFF file. Sometimes I move things around on the image (like moving the page number up on a scanned page, if there's a lot of white space).

The first time I cut (draw bounding box, <Ctrl+X>), the resulting background where the cut took place is white.

If I do another cut (somewhere else) on the same image, the cut area is now black. As are all subsequent cuts.

Actually, now that I've tried a bit more testing, it's not that consistent.

If I scan and then crop (not cut first), the above is what I see, and this is what I do a lot of, so I never checked further. But with some images, if I cut first and crop later, the cut area is black right from the start. But if I crop first, cut later, white then black on the 2nd cut.

I do have undo enabled.

If I can provide more info, let me know.

Hi Al,

Is your system display only set to 256 colors? If so, see the help file for the "Preserve Color Depth" option under the Edit menu. Turning this option off should correct the issue.
