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 & 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'

  • 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?

  • Dragging part image from one to another results in central position only

    Just upgraded to Mac Yosemite.
    With images I open file of signature and drag to other image.
    Now will only drag to centre not other place in image - e.g. bottom right.
    What am I **** wrong?
    Had no problems before.

    Use a mouse. This problem seems to only affect trackpads.

  • 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?

  • CS3 Photoshop Extended

    using new raw images from canon G10
    I can see them in cs3 bridge
    but when I open them in CS3 Photoshop Extended
    error format not supported
    any help please

    You have to upgrade to cs4 to get the raw format support you need. Either
    that or use the latest version of the DNG converter to convert your raw
    images to DNG files at which time you can then load them in to CS3.

  • Can't drag and drop from browser to mail, photoshop CC, etc.

    I can no longer drag an image from my browser (Chrome or Safari) directly into Photoshop CC, Mail and other programs like I could in the past.
    I now must drag the item to my desktop first, and then drag it into the program.
    I don't know when this behavior started and I don't recall doing any major updates when it first stopped working.
    OSX = 10.8.5
    Chrome = 30.0.1599.69
    Safari = 6.0.5 (8536.30.1)
    Mail = 6.6 (1510)
    Photoshop CC = 14.1.2 x64
    Please help.
    Thank you!

    In Iphoto, I select the albums I want to copy. I then hit burn CD. It then determines the amount of space needed. Then I hit burn CD again. Its begins burning the CD, then it verifies the CD, then ejects the CD when completed.
    When the CD is re-inserted, Iphoto displays it as a regular album. I select the album, then a file, and attempt to drag-and-drop that file to the desktop. The cursor appears as a circle with a bar and it won't allow a one-step drag-and drop as with the old 17" IMAC.

  • Drag & drop images from Finder into new Photoshop layer?

    Is it possible to drag & drop images from Finder into a new Photoshop layer?
    I can do it from a web browser, but not the Finder.

    >I couldn't find a way to do so in Bridge, but also I never use that program. Never got into Bridge's workflow. >
    I really do suggest that you re-visit Bridge especially the CS4 version.
    I just cannot conceive of trying to use a Digital camera, a Scanner or the Creative Suite programs without using Bridge and ACR.
    I can even use it to read PDFs and inDesign documents (all pages!) without opening Acrobat or InD..
    >I usually keep a "work" window open with all the files I am using for a project, so it would be far more handy to be able to skim them in the Finder.
    It is now far more effective and efficient to do that in Bridge than in the Finder.
    This is where you would find the new Collections feature to be invaluable:
    Just select all the images and other files connected to a project from any folder and drag their icons into the same Collection.
    You then have all aliases (previewable at full-screen slide-view size with one click of the space bar in CS4) to ALL of your files which are now visible in. and openable from, a single panel.

  • How can I remove an image from its background and save it? (Photoshop cs6)

    Hello,
    I am very new to the photoshop world and am trying to remove an image from its background ( as a stand-alone) and save it. Is there a way to do this in Photoshop CS6?  I have looked at tutorials but only found how to remove the image but not how to save the image as a stand alone with no background.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Hi Erika,
    Are you trying to save a portion of an image with a transparent background? It may help to post a screenshot of the image that you're working with as well as your layers panel.
    I've included a few tips below that may help you with your situation. If you need additional help, please feel free to post again
    Deleting a background and saving an image with a transparent background
    1. Here I am working with an image of a santa hat that I've cut out from a white background. I have two layers, the cut-out santa hat and the original file. I'm going to delete the background layer so that I have just one layer - the cut-out santa hat:
    2. You'll see that a checkerboard pattern has appeared behind the santa hat. This means that the background is transparent.
    3. You can then go to File > Save As... and select PNG, Photoshop PSD, or TIFF from the Format dropdown menu. These file formats will save the cut-out portion of your image on its own, while preserving the transparent background.

  • Can't drag and drop from page view

    Can't drag and drop from page view to desktop even though plus icon shows up for duplicating the page.  On Mac 10.9.2 Acrobat XI. I don't want to extract through the menu and associated dialogues.  Its slow and cumbersome.

    Hi Peterbruce,
    Acrobat for Windows will let you select pages in the Pages panel and drag them to your desktop, but that isn't an option in Acrobat for Mac OS. You can drag thumbnails from the Pages panel in one doc, to the Pages panel in another, however.
    Best,

    What happens if you double click on the thumbnail to view the photo in a larger size?  If you Control-click on the thumbnail and select "Show File" or "Show Original" (if it's been edited) are you taken to the folder where the original file is located an it highlighted?
