PSE 12 - Drag from photo bin into larger document resizes image

I upgraded from PSE 10 to PSE 12 this week and am confused about a change in behavior.
I create a large blank document (3600x3600 pixels, scrapbook size) and then drag other items onto it to create new layers.
In PSE10, the items I dragged in kept their original size. In PSE 12, they get resized to match the size of the document I'm dragging them on to.
Is there a setting I need to change? Can't find it.

I would love to see this option return!
Adobe has had very little consistency between PSE versions on the dragging front! Now the only way to drag a full size/resolution item into another is to enable floating windows and then drag between windows.
In PSCC you have an option to choose Smart object or not and I think that would be a welcome addition to future versions.
The problem was that such an option (which I liked) in older versions was severely criticized by typical PSE users, and Adobe had to drop that inherited feature from CS to please the more amateur customer base... Hence the lack of consistency between PSE versions.
If you miss smart objects use, have a look at the affordable but powerful Elements+ scripts:

    How to import photos from photo stream into an event?

    How to import photos from photo stream into an event?
    In iPhoto 9.4.3 the following works:
    If you have not auto imported the photos from the Photo Stream, as Larry suugests, select the photos that you want to import in the Photo Stream, and drag them to the "Events" view in the Source List. They will be imported as new events, auto split with respect to your preferences.

  • I try to drag a photo folder into lightroom 4 on my MAC, lightroom fails to open and a 'Corrupt Catalog Detected' screen pops up.  Clicking on 'repair catalog' does not work either.  Any suggestions?

    I try to drag a photo folder into lightroom 4 on my MAC, lightroom fails to open and a 'Corrupt Catalog Detected' screen pops up.  Clicking on 'repair catalog' does not work either.  Any suggestions?

    I'll have to get a better instructor on deleting the preferences since when I've doen it in the past nothing is there when I open LR the catalog is gone. I assumed that was what was supposed to happen so I start importing all over again.  But that is a different issue...
    The problem has been happening since at least the beta of 3 came out and I saw other posts back then saying they had similar issues but I assume it was a beta thing...  But since the full version came out and through each incremental change I haven't seen an improvement. If anything it has gotten a little worse with time.
    I have to try to be careful to not be in a hurry and start clicking around in the catalog as it seems fragile until it has cataloged all the photos in the library. When starting you will see the numbers populate the folders very slowly and I try not to click on a folder that hasn't had the number of photos pop up yet. Also draging the slider down to see more of the cataloge can have the same affect and crash the system.
    I wish I had more to go on.. I believe it may be a resources issue but as I went from 3-4 Gig I thought it would get better. I don't have big programs running but did have outlook and word running in the background along with firefox and chrome.
    And yes it only happens on this HP desktop (it's 2+ yrs old) and may be showing it's age a bit. My laptop which has less resources doesn't have the issue.. I have them sharing the catalog. (not at the same time) just when I'm working in other places in the house.

  • Import from photo stream into Lightroom 5.7 - how can I import only new photos since first import of all photos in stream (mac)

    Hi
    Importing my photos from photo stream (mac) went well, got 2012 photos out of my photo stream into LR 5.7 with the help of the new plug-in.
    Now I have 3 new photo's in the stream and I want to add them to the library of LR.
    When starting up the plug-in it tells me it will import 2015 photos, instead of just 3.
    I hesitate to continue the process and to try my luck as I'm afraid I will end up with more than all 2012 photos doubled.
    Any experience out there yet?
    Thanks!
    Kind regards
    Jan

    Found it.
    At first I was scared off because LR showed the same amount of photos to be imported the second time as it did before the first import.
    Fortunately, the second import did nothing but import the new photos.
    Thanks.

  • After software update I can't drag from iTunes directly into Garageband timeline, always could before, how can I fix this?

    After software update I can't drag  songs from iTunes directly into Garageband timeline, always could before, how can I fix this?

    Same problem here but figured it out: Drag the song from the Media Browser tab (after selecting iTunes at the top) at the bottom right when you open a new GarageBand project. Hope this helps you -- working perfectly for me!

  • How to transfer a 2D array from NI-scop into a gray scale image and save it

    Dear all,
    I acquired a 2D array and want to transfer it into a gray scale image (12 bits) and save it into my hard disk but I don't know how to do it.
    I can use Intensity graph to show the 2Darray into gray scale image, but the intensity graph.vi can not save the image in real time.
    Thank you.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The 24-bit is a color image with 8-bits per color channel per pixel (interleaved, if I remember correctly).  It is not a 24-bit gray-level, so I don't think it will work for you.  I believe the IMAQ library (a LabVIEW add-on) will handle 16-bit gray-scale, if you can get a copy.
    As a native LabVIEW workaround, you could also split your image into two 8-bit images, with one image representing the high bytes, the other the low.  You could then combine them when you do the analysis, if your analysis program is capable of this.

  • Can`t drag and drop foto into pages document, it bounces back

    trying to drag and drop a foto from iphoteo to pages document, it doesn`t work properly and steady.
    Eventually it bounces back. I repeated to do so few times, sometimes it works into an blank page or into a fotoframe, sometimes it doesn`t.
    I checked camera type and other informations of the pictures,seems to be not part of the problem.
    I can drag and drop fotos to the desktop without problems, all jpg.
    I did drag and drop a few pictures succsesfully onto the same document or into the same fotoframe and suddenly, again it does not work.
    Any help?

    Try making a direct shortcut to the Organizer and then the Editor.
    You should then be able to drag and drop on to the desktop icon.
    On Windows right click on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
    Browse to Computer OS C:
    And find the PSE Organizer application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
    Inside the Adobe >> Photoshop Elements Organizer (yellow folder) you are looking for an application file “PhotoshopEementsOrganizer” with six small icons (e.g. representing thumbnails - could be different in PSE5 but look for the exe file)
    Select it and click OK
    Click next
    Rename by taking out Photoshop Elements leaving just the word Organizer
    Then click finish
    You should now be able to launch directly form the desktop by double clicking on the icon.
    You can set up a similar direct link to the Editor application.
     

  • Script for replacing Image from a frame into InDesign document file

    Hi All,
    I am having an indesign document (indd) file with images and texts. I am using InDesign Server CS4 to run the scripts via SOAP.
    My requirement is to replace any of the images from the required frame/s of indesign document through scripting (I already have frame id of which image needs to be replaced). I have written written java-script file (as given below): but when I execute this java-script on InDesign Server via SOAP, I get follwoing error into InDesign Server:

  • PSE how to have photo automatically resize the a 12 X 12 background document

    I was told that when you drag a photo onto a 12x12 document it will automatically resize to the 12 x 12. When I do it in PSE the photo is small...and asking me to transform it. Is this different within these two programs or is there a work around in PSE. I had a friend try it in her photoshop program and the image wasn't distorted at all...Didn't appear huge, like if I transform it.

    Both are set at 300....it's a very small picture... 4x3 my online friend uses CS5 and said it automatically changed it to the 12x12 blank document when she dragged it on...I did that but it gets very large and blurry...I studied about smart objects and used place to open photo and then tried to resize it....she clipped a mask watercolor underneath to give it emphasis... she then tilted the whole picture.she's out of town for the moment...I was trying to figure out what she did...for the life of me I can't get mine to resize to the 12 x 12....it expands larger than hers when I try.

    When an image is added to a document, the incoming image is scaled to the resolution of the target document.  Make sure the resolution is the same for both, or simply use the Move tool on the pasted image to resize it to suit.  The incoming photo is never resized automatically to the target document's dimension.

  • Removing Photo Folders from "Photo Browser"?

    Per the instructions in Mail Help, I dragged some photo folders into the Photo Browser window to use with Mail stationery templates. Now I want to remove the photo folders from the Photo Browser window and can't figure out how. I've tried dragging them to the trash, etc., but nothing seems to work.
    Thanks for any help,
    WK

    Right click (control click for one button mice) on the folder (or the main folders heading if you want to remove all of your folders) and click Remove Folder. Not sure why dragging out of the window doesn't work, but this does!

  • Photo Bin

    8. To display a hidden item, you also use the "Window" menu. For example, pull down "Window > Photo Bin" to open it.
    Using Photo Elements 2.0, I cannot find the "Photo Bin". Following the above directions from Adobe Elements Animated guide does not show a "Photo Bin" option in the "Window" pull down.
    Can someone help me get the Photo Bin to show up?

  • How can I move photos from photo stream to an Album?

    I want to rearrange photos in my photos into Albums.  Can someone tell me how to move photos from photo stream into Albums?

    The trick is to move the photos to Camera Roll first then to individual albums.  Used to go direct but not on the 5s - or least that's the best I've come up with.

  • Can you drag photos/elements into PSE 9.0 on Mac

    hello, I just switched to a Mac and am using PSE 9.0. Can you drag photos or elements into the project bin? I can't seem to figure it out and it's frustrating me, I could just open my files in my computer on my PC and drag what I wanted in. How do you do this on a Mac or do I have to open each one separately? thanks!! I'm a digi scrapper and it's driving me nuts!!

    You can drag one photo into the workspace (not the project bin) if there's not another photo open, but for some reason in PSE 9 it stops working with additional photos. This is a PSE 9 bug, though, not the usual behavior of previous mac versions.
