2275.0. "Capture Portion and Reverse Image" by PHDVAX::LOUCKS () Wed Feb 14 1990 16:24

    Apologize if this is elsewhere in the file, but I searched and
    haven't found the answer yet.  The question is:
    
    If I create a DDIF in PAINT, capture a portion to file and
    then try to look at the captured image in PAINT or CDA viewer,
    it is a reverse image.  Is this a bug, fixable, or corrected
    somewhere else.  I also have a compress view of the image was
    I think is due to compression from PAINT right.  Can this be
    avoided also?

I am seeing this behavior on 5.3-1.  As .0 asks, is this a known problem?
Is there a reason?  Or a workaround, other than capturing the reverse
paint image a second time, to reverse it back??!!

In my case I am capturing a portion of the screen, from the sesmgr, to
a ddif file, and bringing that file into Paint.

Thanks,
Ginny
