ratio not setting - even when passing from empty image

[alenknight]

i can't seem to get the image to send a new size to canvas , or edit a different size. here's a simple workflow i'm just testing. note how the final image is stuck at 512x512

Perhaps it was placing the image into a targeted layer. You can set the incoming image mode to create a new image

Alternately you can now just create a new Image of the desired size from the editor.
