SYMPTOMS
Camera images copied from the Clipboard may be all black when they are pasted into the Paint tool.



CAUSE
The CTRL+PRINT SCREEN key combination captures the frame buffer contents. However, if your hardware supports overlays, the captured contents are placed in an overlay, and the CTRL+PRINT SCREEN operation captures only the color key data.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
Note that this behavior occurs only on computers using graphics accelerators.
