My "place" instruction not working


Recommended Posts

I have been editing all afternoon with great success, satisfied with the results on my composite.  However, have now tried to add

a helicopter, using "place".   Although I have done many times before, the procedure did not happen.  I restarted AP, then desperate

also restarted my PC.  I am on the correct layer (in fact a "Merge Visible" of the lower layers), however, nothing seems to work, it seems

that somehow Affinity Photo, is disregarding, or unable to cope.  Seems simple, but what can I try next please?

Have you tried just dragging the chopper image into the affinity doc

Do you get the Place Icon place_ready.png.d791fe168cb37022bc7464ffbb74e480.png can you drag out to scale the image?

No, First Defence, I haven't tried dragging, but will try that. 

No, very used to the Place icon, so not that!

Did it work?

Yes thanks,  First Defence and James, this is great, I did not even know the possibility of dragging and dropping in that way existed.  Have also watched James Ritson's new video on the topic  :D
