Frozen Death Knight 122 Posted June 14 I recall from some other thread that you can't open a stock photo as a new document by dragging the file from that panel. Oddly enough, you can drag and create a new file by opening your internet browser and drag whatever image you want into both an already existing file and as a new document file, which is at least a workaround. However, the panel should be changed to do the same, I agree. 1 Chris B reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris B 1,266 Posted June 14 Frozen Death Knight is correct. I picked up on this when it was first introduce and I recall putting a few improvement suggestions forward. It would be nice to be able to start a new document by dragging in an image from the Stock Panel. I'll try and update you if I get any news on this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PaulEC 97 Posted June 14 Quick work around. Set up a keyboard shortcut for "clip to canvas" (I use Ctrl+Shift+K). Then, when you want to open a stock photo, hit Ctrl+n for a new document (doesn't matter what size), drag the picture you want onto it, hit the "Clip to canvas" shortcut, and it resizes to the picture. It might sound a lot of trouble, but, once it's set up, it's really quick. 3 Chris B, Frozen Death Knight and Alfred reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Al S 4 Posted June 14 Interesting, I watched this and I don't see anything different from drag and drop. That's why I thought it wasn't working properly. Maybe I missed something: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyB7IpJYJa0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

walt.farrell 1,312 Posted June 15 In that tutorial, he had a document open, which showed the title of the tutorial video. He dragged onto it from the stock studio, giving a new layer that covered his old document. 2 Chris B and Al S reacted to this -- Walt Windows 10 Home, version 1903 (18362.145), 16GB memory, Intel Core i7-6700K @ 4.00Gz, GeForce GTX 970 Affinity Photo 1.7.1.404 and 1.7.1.404 Beta / Affinity Designer 1.7.1.404 and 1.7.1.404 Beta / Affinity Publisher 1.7.1.404 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A simple observation of his layers, clearly populated, unwarranted post, on my part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
