Paste Images Problem

Question

Hi all,
I'm having a problem pasting images from an external application to my java app. The external app uses the Windows clipboard to copy these proprietary images into a format that is not documented, but as I understand it, Windows uses BMP by default.
The problem is that when the clipboard contents are pasted into my application, the images are offset. Now, if I paste the clipboard contents into another application(Paint.net, Photoshop), this problem does not occur. If I save the pasted image from Photoshop to an 8 bit indexed BMP, reload that image, copy and paste, the problem occurs. If I save it from Photoshop to an 8 bit RGB BMP, reload the image, copy and paste, the problem disapears(no offset). If you don't have Photoshop, the problem can be replicated in the native Windows Paint program.
I've included a small program that demonstrates the problem, as well as two images. The correct.bmp image works fine, incorrect.bmp shows the problem. The are both quite large(1 ~ 5 mb).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I observe the problem, if I copy the images from the windows Paint instead of Chrome.
No, but they will be copying though the proprietary program they are using. It's the only way to get the proprietary images 'converted', so to speak.Can't your 'proprietary program' save the converted images to disk. If that is possible then you can set the icon of the label using the url of the saved image. I have just observed that if you set icon using file path of any of the 'correct.bmp' or 'incorrect.bmp', it displays it fine. However, as already said there is some problem with the copying using clipboard.
Thanks!
