There could be several reasons. Check the following:

- If the target image is displayed at a smaller Zoom setting than the source image, a.k.a. the image you're copying actually IS smaller than the target image you're pasting it to.

- If you have a selection active on the target image and use the "Paste Into" command (instead of just "Paste"), the pasted area will be masked (cropped) to that selection.

- If the copied image is a larger size canvas than the target image, you'll need to expand the canvas (Image > Fit Canvas to Layers is a good command to know about) otherwise the image you're copying will get cropped to the canvas edges.

Subject: [Gimp-user] copy & paste

I would like to know why is it when I copy and paste an image on top of another that when I do it the image I am coping always shows up smaller when pasted.
