Import images

You can import images directly onto your canvas with drag and drop.

Choose the image you want to import from any folder on your Mac, and then drag it to Linearity Curve.

If you have a document already open, the image will appear automatically on the canvas. Otherwise, a new document will be created using the image size selected.

Now you can start to make adjustments to your imported image.

Another option to import an image is to use the Menu Bar. Go to File, or press CMD + I, and the Home Screen opens automatically. Then click on the images tab in the Homescreen sidebar and select your file. You can also import your Figma files and the images on your Photos App here.
