Can't paste from photoshop

Question

If I copy a bitmap from photoshop I can't paste it in XD. I've tried both using the keyboard commands and going to file menu to no avail.

It's definitely copying from photoshop as I can paste it back there but paste is greyed out in XD...

I've tried dragging and dropping too and I get a forbidden icon in XD when trying it.

The PSD file is RGB.

Hi @mowglivj, as I see here:https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007-adobe-xd-feature-requests/suggestions/12869040-import-photoshop-psd#:~:text=You%20can%20bring%20your%20Photoshop,and%20at%20a%20high%20fidelity. it is possible to open a PSD file in XD, pasting the solution:
"You can bring your Photoshop files into XD by simply opening a PSD file with the CMD-O command or by selecting “Open” from the “File” menu. Your file will automatically convert into a new XD file with your artboards, layers, and assets editable and at a high fidelity."
I never needed it but my fav feature is whenever I need to edit an image in XD, I right click it and select "Edit in PS" option, when I finish editing I save & close in PS and it gets updated in XD. Hope this helps!
