Then open MSPaint or other photo editing software and do edit->paste. Last crop the image. It's a long workaround but just if you never find it otherwise Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/11/2016 1:58 pm Die chips are progressive. This one is a great example. Note how certain areas have chipped deeper into the die, a second area is still chipping away and a third area is just extending a new chip. It is a chip in progress. The die is crumbling away.
