As I mentioned before, I'm currently running Zeitgeist on Roll20. Sometimes it would be really useful to be able to copy and paste a picture from the pdfs, most commonly an NPC portrait. However this does not seem to be anywhere near as straightforward as it might sound.
When I try to do this, most of the time I only get the background, not the main picture that I'm actually trying to copy. This is true whether I select the image and copy it, use the snapshot function, or click and copy whatever is automatically highlighted, even when the latter appears to correspond to the picture I want. It also happens whether I use the adventures themselves or the NPC cards - the latter is especially aggravating because the whole point of those cards is to have usable images of the characters. No matter what I do, all I can paste into paint or whatever program I happen to be using is the parchment background, not the actual foreground image.
Does anyone know what is going on here and have a workaround? It's quite frustrating.
