Why can't I drag and drop images into PS anymore?

#1

I’m working with CS2 and this function no longer works. I used to be able to drag from windows explorer and internet explorer.

My OS is Vista 64-bit, so not sure if its just being annoying and set something behind my back!

any help would be ace!

It might be the browser itself and not Photoshop. I ran into a similar problem with Firefox last year. A way around it would be to right click on the image and select “copy” then paste it into your photoshop file or press ctrl-N to create a new file based on the image size and paste it into the file.

yep thats pretty much what I have to do with internet pics. but it’s the windows explorer drag n drop I miss as I could have multiple directorys open. if this was a problem with the browser, any idea what option to look for?

this works in cs3 with firefox:shrug:

I’m not sure what version of IE that you’re using though. It’s the way the browser caches the images. There might be a way to tweak the settings so that it has more memory to do that and that might solve the problem. IDK.

ive done this for a while im in PScs2, and after a while my browser will
only drop them as bitmaps to desktop/folders mostly. i usually wipe my IE cache, and it eventually works again. reboot too.
