Lillias Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Using Affinity Photo I can’t drag a photo from the Stock tab into the workspace. Is this a known problem please. I tried searching to see if this question had already been asked but couldn’t find anything. Thanks in anticipation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I think you need to drag them out as a layer in a document that you already have open.

Lillias Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 I watched a video and thought that the man started out by just dragging straight onto the workspace but I couldn't make that work so I thought that something wasn't working properly. I tried your suggestion and that does work so thank you very much for your help and response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 It would be good to be able to drag out a stock image onto a blank workspace to open as a new document. I think there’s a previous thread about this.

Petar Petrenko Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 You must have a new document created or opened an existing document to drag the stock photo.

It was a slide showing the title of the tutorial.
