Pinta selection cropping











up vote

I've just installed Pinta to basically crop a screenshot (why doesn't Ubuntu come with a simple image editing tool?!) but for the life of me cannot work out how to crop an image to a selection properly. What I'm doing is using the rectangle selection tool, selecting the area I want to crop to then pressing 'Crop to Selection'.



The image crops, but it's not cropped the selection I made. If I make the selection quite small, Pinta throws an exception.



Am I doing this simple task wrong? Or is this a bug?

    Seems a bug. Free ;-) advice: use shutter for this task shutter-project.org
