You should still understand how things work.

All depends on the format of the image you paste **into**.

Paste (or open-as-layers is the same) a RGB image into a greyscale image and the
pasted in layer takes the properties of the greyscale image.

Often seen in the worst senario, a RGB image added to a limited colour, indexed
image and the user wonders why the colours are screwed up.
