Because I am using a screen-capture, I chose my monitor size: 1024x768... but you will want to choose YOUR monitor's size.



I opened MMD and made my screen-capture.

Went to GIMP and Control-v, Pasted my image into GIMP.

When an image is first pasted, GIMP calls it a "Floating Layer".   To finish the "paste", click the little New layer button in the bottom left of the Layers toolbox.
