We cover the process at the beginning of the article, then continue below with additional information and pictures for the steps. Any ideas? Here is a snap shot of my Affinity Photo showing the grayed out NEW FROM CLIPBOARD just after copying an item to the clipboard in Indesign.The steps in this guide will show you how to clear the contents of your clipboard in Microsoft Excel.

I am merely trying to get away from Adobe. I am willing to uninstall and reinstall Affinity Photo if you think that would help.

But, my NEW FROM CLIPBOARD is ALWAYS grayed out. I'd like to do this exact same procedure within Affinity Photo. Now i can flatten the document or do whatever i need to within Photoshop. I then go to EDIT/PASTE and paste the document into photoshop. I say OK, which created the new Photoshop document sized exactly right. This all sets the color space (CMYK) and dpi and the transparent background. I open Photoshop and and click on NEW and the dialog that pops up already has sized the new Photoshop document to the exact size from the clipboard because i specify the clipboard as the Preset. The COPY placed it on the Windows Clipboard. How it worked with Indeign and Photoshop, I select an Indesign layout and copy it. My NEW FROM CLIPBOARD is always grayed out.

I tried the Paste Special but I first need to create a new document and then can 'paste special' into it. At least that is what I recently updated to. I have the most current version of Affinity Photo for Windows (version 1.6.4.104). For the past 6 months i continue to use Photoshop because i am unable to use the NEW FROM CLIPBOARD.

I want to say 'thank you' to everyone who has replied.
