Can't drag an image to an album?

I am probably doing something boneheaded here (which I usually end up doing at least a few times per day)... but, I have a project, within that project are two albums. I have each album open (via option click). Is there a reason I can't drag an image from one album into the other by way of the browsers for each? IE, click on image A within the album's browser, I will call that album 1 and then drag the image to another browser, let's call it album 2. I could have sworn I have done this before, but now I can't? I can drag the image from the active browser to album 2 via the inspector pane, just not via the two albums browser windows? Kinda of a slow down to move from adjustments to projects back to adjustments when I should be able to drag and drop.
TIA,
Mike

Hi Mike,
So the issue is that you can't drag between two browser windows, but you could before?
Can you set the HUD to adjustments, the sidebar to projects (and expand the project to show the "To" album) and drag and drop between those?

Can't drag certain images into other albums

Hi, forgive me if this has been covered here, but I couldn't find it in search.
I cannot copy certain image versions to other albums within the same project for some reason. I have a couple hundred shots in this project, and most drag/copy into the album fine, but there is at least one that does not, no matter what I do. I've tried unstacking it from it's stack, etc. -- still won't copy.
It does act as if it's copying though -- the green plus sign appears over the album - but it never appears in that album.
Suggestions?

Make sure you are not filtering what the browser is showing in that album. Check that the searching box doesn't have anything written on it. By default should say 'Unrated or better'. Also if those versions you are copying are marked as rejects you'll need to select in the searching box 'Show all"

How can I drag an image from a page in Safari to the finder and have it be saved as an *actual* image instead of a webloc?

Safari used to let me drag an image from a webpage to the finder and have the dragged file be saved as an actual image but now all that's saved is a webloc file. I want the image saved, not a reference to the image's URL - do I now have to always use "save as" to save it?
I can understand Safari creating a webloc file if I dragged the site icon from the location bar to the finder, but to make the default behavior for dragging things that are parts of a page (not the page itself) as webloc files seems like a HUGE step backwards for usability.
Does anyone know if there's, say, a key to hold when dragging to avoid saving a webloc file or a defaults command or something to make Safari revert back to sane draging behavior?

Good questions... I'll have to try and figure out when the problem first happened - I was thinking it was when I upgraded to Safari 5.1.4 but that might not be the case... I'll try your suggestions to see if any of them eliminate the problem (I have restarted recenlty and that didn't fix it) but I'll try repairing permissions,etc. Thanks!
hmmm... Mcbuffy: are you implying that you *don't* get the webloc when dragging an image out of Safari and that this isn't a caused by change to Safari but is a big/conflict in mine?

Can't drag & drop images from Windows Explorer into Elements 7

Hi...
I'm a Photoshop Elements 7 newbie... I can't drag and drop images (jpeg, tiff, Olympus RAW) from Windows Explorer (file explorer and not IE) to Photoshop Elements like I can in Corel Paint Shop Pro X2? It also works in Corel Painter IX.5 & ArtRage 3 (except for RAW)... My operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.... I've uninstalled and re-installed Elements but to no avail. I've also tried to run Elements under various compatability modes but still no luck....
Any ideas?
It's driving me nuts...
Thanks kindly
Ken

"I just remembered: If the Editor or Organizer are "running as administrator", then you can't drag and drop from Windows Explorer. To see if you're running the program as administrator right click the desktop icon or Start Menu item you use to launch PS and select Properties. On the Compatibility tab, is Run This Program As Administrator checked? (Note that in Vista and Windows 7, running a program as administrator is different than running it in an account that's a member of the Administrator's group.)"
I wasn't running the program as administrator so I enabled that compatibility property applied it then disabled it. It seems to work now. I thought I'd add this to flesh out the previous answer. I didn't open the program in between the enable and disable, so it is a quick process. Also, I am using windows 8.1 and had to open the file location in order to do this. Right click on the tile then choose 'open file location'

CS3 Photoshop Extend/WIN XP can´t drag an image from 1 pic to another

When I open a file, it will also normally appear as layer in layer-palette.
When I open a second file next to the 1st and try to move item from that file to 1st file, it can not be done.
I can move the item in it´s own file but I can´t drag it to another file.
Layers do not merge under one window but stay in their separate windows.
What is the prob?
Thanks in sdvance,

I´ve been using CS3 for a while now, so no need to learn basics, thanks for idea though.
I have been using a move tool but for some mysterious reason the item that I want to drag doesn´t leave the picture frame. It moves inside the frame but I can not move it outside the pic frame and into another pic/file.
I´ve made a new layer with copy a layer-command so ther should be no problems. Also both pics a lock-free.
Both pics are also in the same resolution and color mode.

Can't drag firefox image into applications folder

The instructions advise to drag firefox to image of Applications folder, but I can't find the firefox image. 2 show up on my desktop, but neither look like the one in the image and neither will move to applications folder or to dock. HELP!

Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.<br />
Open the DMG file and drag to Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.<br />
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.<br />

I can't drag an images between not floating frames

Hello i have the newe Elements 12.
It was working perfectly, but after the last up-date there was a problem.
Ican't drag images between not floating frames anymore. this was possible before the up-date.
now the images can only be draged if one is a not floating frame and the other one is a floating frame.
does some one know how i can change this?

No fix. It's a bug introduced with the update. Using floating windows is the only work-around.
Cheers,
Neale

Can't drag & drop photos within an album in iPhoto6

I can't change the order of photos in an album by dragging. Looking at the other posts, I've fixed the Helvetica bug several times (by re-activating the font in Fonts Book) but it still doesn't work. When trying to drag, the photo will migrate to a strange place within the album, or not at all. Thanks for any help.

Thanks for your replies, TD. They are ordinary albums. I haven't made any smart albums yet. It's strange, sometimes when I'm trying to relocate a photo I'll see the cursor flash in another place on the page and the photo will migrate there. Sometimes there are no cursors at all.

Can't upload multiple images to Facebook album through Safari

I switched back to Safari on my Macbook Pro after downloading Yosemite. I heard it was the best browser for the new OS. I am experiencing problems uploading multiple images to a Facebook album. I have to go back to the basic uploader and upload them one at a time. Is there a fix?

Thanks for a reply.
I've signed in already and it works with few images. But when i try to share large amount of images ,the menu "facebook" was disappeared.

Can't drag and drop images onto PS icon using Snow Leopard

In general this is minor but frustrating. You can't drag an image from a document onto the PS 11.0.1 icon anymore to open the image in Photoshop.

I just read another from another website - http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/OddBallProbs.html
that if you choose delete the prefernce files .plist/.cs and use "SAVE AS" vs "SAVE" the files I referred to above get saved when attempting to open th project again. I tried it and it seems to work for me now. I hope this helps others with the GB *"File Not Found"* dilemma in Leopard and Garageband V5.1

Drag an image from desktop into Aperture

I can't drag an image into Aperture from my desktop. It just comes back to the desktop. Is there something I'm missing? Do I use import for one image?

Where are you dragging to?
You can't drag to the smart albums. Drag directly into a project or to the Aperture icon in the Dock.
Do I use import for one image?
That is better, if you need preset to be applied when importing, for example Time Zone correction.

Dragging One Image Onto Another

The book, Photoshop Layers, by Kloskowski, starts the subject of Masks on p. 94 by telling the reader to open two images, then use the Move tool to drag one onto the other so that they are in the same document.
A picture of what that should look like shows, in the Layers palette, image A in the Background layer, and image B residing in Layer 1. Each thumbnail shows an entire image (not a checkered thumbnail with a small image within it).
As the title indicates, the book is designed for Photoshop users. I use Elements 6 but have been able to perform most of the tutorials; however, the above instructions baffle me. I cannot fathom what he is talking about.
In Elements 6, How can I drag one image onto the other? I start out with two images in the bin - and the move tool does not work on bin images. I have tried various workarounds but the results do not look like the Layers palette picture he shows. For instance: File/New/Blank File does not work.
As to my level of knowledge: I am very comfortable with layers of all sorts and understand/use them. I am also familiar with Elements. So, if you will, assume I am not a neophyte, even though my question may seem very basic.

Normally this won't matter, but there are situations where it does change what you bring in; like rasterizing an EPS file, for instance. In full PS, it creates smart objects from the files you use the command on.
A text layer, for example, is no longer editable after being placed. But for most images, I suppose it would be okay.

Can't drag images into "album" on iWeb gallery

I use iWeb 08
I am able to drag individual images to the page but I cannot seem to drag albums, multiple images to the "drag albums here" section. I drag them and there is a green "plus" sign but the page/ "drag albums here" space doesn't accept the images. Am I able to drag albums from Aperture or do the albums have to be from iPhoto?
Can't figure out what Im doing wrong...

Hi Boogieon,
I'm having the same issue!
I have loads of Albums in iPhoto I wish to add to some Albums templates in an iWeb website.
I'm trying to drag and album (or individual picture) to the Album frame, I get the green "+" icon and the number of pics, I release it over the Album frame and...nothing, except the icon slides back to the Media browser. It's been driving me mad!
Gonna keep an eye out on this!

If I add artwork by dragging a jpg to the artwork area after selecting several rows, in some instances a single icon is created in the flipper; in others one is created for each song. Why? How can I get one image per album every time?

Can't drag images from safari into songs as covers anymore

hey i got an issue, i guess it's because of itunes 9.02 because yesterday it worked just fine:
i an album doesn't have a cover art i usually go to google image search, find the cover and then drag it directly to the song.
for example i select all tracks from an album, hit cmd + i, then i drag the cover art from safari to itunes and drop it. until yesterday itunes perfectly took the cover art and applied to the track,
since i downloaded itunes 9.02 it doesn't work anymore.
btw, when i drag the image to some place in the finder and then drag it onto the song it still works.
can anyone confirm that?

Same problem. I thought it might have been a Safari security thing until I tried other browsers with the same problem. Like you said... Dragging from the browser to a staging location like the desktop first and then from the desktop to iTunes work just fine. Odd.
I'm looking around for some new iTunes security option. Minor bug but it's really messing with my workflow.
