Hello ... I can't drag and drop images from the desktop into Pixelmator any more. I have a project, want to import a photo and then play around with the image to see what size looks best against a background layer. And then add Text in a new layer.

The images just won't 'stay' when I drag them ... they spring back to the desktop again.

If I go via the Pixelmator Photo Browser and try to import from the Photos App, the photo opens in a new Pixelmator Project, which is exactly the size of the photo and not at all what I want, since the shape of the photo is not the same shape as in my project.

I'd be very grateful for help in solving this, Thanks, SeaDream

Is there a solution for this. After my upgrade to 2.4.7 Odesa I can no longer drag an image to the Pixilmator app on my Mac dock.

Hi Johnny, are you saying that you're having trouble dragging an image directly from Firefox onto the Pixelmator Pro dock icon? Is there a particular website you're trying to do this with? What about importing images directly from your local storage, does that work?

David - apologies for missing your message! The issue you're likely referring to was fixed in Pixelmator Pro 2.4.6. Let us know if you're still experiencing unexpected behavior.
