Drag/Drop layers between open files


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm a newbie. I have imported a file created in illustrator that has a photo in it that I want to use as a base for a new file in Affinity Photo (AF). I am used to being able to drag and drop layers between open files in Adobe but am finding it does not work like that in AF.

Can someone enlighten me as to how I might transfer this layer across into the new file please?

Select the layer, from the Edit menu copy it, & from the File menu select New From Clipboard.
