Preview: How to enable the 'New From Clipboard' Option

Hey everyone,


I am trying to change the colour of my folders, and one of the steps is to select the Preview>File>New From Clipboard option. However, it is greyed out and doesn't work even if I press command N. Regardless of trying to use it for colour change, it does not work for any document, screenshot, or pdf. Can someone please guide me on how to enable it? I currently have the macOS Monterey 12.1


Thanks!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.1

Hey,

Currently it has the folder I copied, and the ‘New From Clipboard’ option is enabled. And I also realized what I doing wrong…because when I was coping it before, it wasn’t coming up on clipboard (I guess I didn’t press command C when it was hilighted), but now it is! Thanks!
