Copying and pasting images

[gumbo23]

How do I introduce a jpg into a canvas to begin working with it? I can't seem to copy and paste the jpg.

 

When I open one tab with the canvas and another with the image I can't select and copy the image - it's greyed out.

 

 

Thanks

Hi gumbo23,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

Just drag it from the Finder to the document.

If you have the jpg opened in another tab, make sure the layer is not locked (or alternatively click on the layer in the Layers panel to select it - even locked) then you can copy/paste as usual.
