Where do dragged-in images go??

I create a new album, select it, then drag in an image from the Finder. It accepts the image (with a green 'plus circle'), but where does the image go??? The image never shows up, at least I can never find where it went. It's not in the album I dragged it into, and not in Last Import either...

Go to the Events mode and look for the latest "untitled event" event which shouild have your photo.
You should be able to drag a photo from the desktop onto an album icon in iPhoto and get the photo imported into a new, untitled event AND placed in that album.
If you know the file name of the photo put it in the search window at the bottom of the iPhoto window and it will be brought up along with the event that it's in.

I am trying to organize a zip file with a bunch of links and files. But when I drag an image file to a folder, it always "Snaps to grid" instead of just landing where I put it.

I am trying to organize a zip file with a bunch of links and files. But when I drag an image file to a folder, it always "Snaps to grid" instead of just landing where I put it. All of the files are going into the same zip file but I want them visually in the space that I put them and not at the bottom of the snap to grid folder location they are looking like. I am trying to drag and drop files in groups so that I can group them for now, but image files always do their own "sort by" when I drag them from my web pages. Links don't do it though. I tried resetting the folder, and deleting the DS files. No luck.

How do I drag an image or text box to the "workspace" off of my working file but where I can still see the image and text box for future use?

How do I drag an image or text box to the "workspace" off of my working file but where I can still see the image and text box for future use?
When I drag the item off of the trifold that I am creating, it just disappears but I still want to use it. I just need to move it out of the way to modify other portions of the document.
thanks,

Add another page below the current one to use as a storage area. You can't use the grey area around the page for storing items you want to use later.

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.

Drag & Drop Images Between Tabs?

Hi, Forgive me if I am missing the obvious but I need some help.
Just got myself an iMac and I am in the process of getting it set up how I like it, Made the move from a Windows PC where I used the FireFox browser.
My plan had been to just use Safari on my Mac to take advantage of all the good things like handoff, keychain etc with my other iOS devices.
Now here is my problem, I use eBay a lot and I upload extra photos to hosting sites, then drag and drop them from that tab into the description on the eBay tab.
However Safari does not seem to allow this, When trying to drag the images between tabs I just get a green + symbol which replaces the tab whereas when I use FireFox to do the same the other tab essentially "opens" allowing me to drop the image in.
Is there anything I can do to fix this or a work around? I have tried the "Copy image" option but when I paste it in I just get a broken image picture.
I should say the OS X version of FireFox works fine so it must be something to do with how Safari handles it.
Hopefully somebody can advise?
Many Thanks
Craig

I have found a slight work around in that if you use a new window instead of of a tab, then shrink it down you can drag and drop images.
But surely there has to be a way to do it between tabs?
Basically I am looking for a way to have the tab open when it is hovered on instead of the green + button appearing...

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.

How to disable fading on dragged images while still being able to drag the images themselves?

When you drag an image, it will be faded out from where your mouse was when you dragged it. I want to be able to see the whole picture, no fade. But I still need to be able to drag the image itself. I've looked at nglayout.enable_drag_images in the config, but it just stops me from being able to drag the image at all.

I'm sorry, but I don't think there is a way to do this... Most operating systems fade items when they are being dragged, and I don't know if there is a way to counteract that without custom code to handle drag and drop.

I used to be able to use the reduce picture ( middle button ) using Firefox and dragging the image to another screen. How do I restore this as the reduce button will not work ?

The top right corner of the screen allows you to reduce the size of your entire image on Firefox . I used to be able to do this so I could drag the image to another screen . Suddenly I cannot do so anymore from my laptop. What can I do ?

Could you clarify where you are doing your search?
''For Firefox's "Search bar",'' which is the box on the right end of the main navigation toolbar with the icon indicating your currently selected search engine, there is a hidden setting for this:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sear''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.search.openintab''' preference to switch it from false to true.
If you test, does it work?
''For searches from other places,'' could you be more specific about where you are entering your query (e.g., address bar, built-in home page, on a search engine site)?

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.

Just write Draw into the MAS searchbox in the upper right corner and you will be presented with a plethora of drawing/sketching apps of varying abilities and pricing.

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?

How do I turn off preview of hidden areas when dragging an image in frame with Direct Select Tool?

CS5, Not sure how to word this...
In previous version of ID, if I had a graphic in a frame, I could drag the image around inside that frame with the Direct Selection Tool. I can still do this with CS5 but it seems to want to show the entire image in a ghosting way that is outside of the frame. Is there a way to turn this preview type look off like it was in previous versions? I feel like its slowing my computer down bigtime because I am dealing with a large image. Everytime I click to drag it, everything slows to a crawl and unusable.

Go to the Prefernces and set Live Screen Drawing to Delayed.

Dragging an images from Safari to the mail Icon doesn't embed image

Hi all - I was wondering if there was a way to change the following default functionality:
If I drag an image to the Mail icon in the dock, it will open an email with the address of the image as text.
What i want is for the image to be embedded in the email.
I can go to Mail, open a new mail, then go back to safari and drag the image and it works fine, but I'd just rather have that happen when I drag the image to the Mail icon.
Any suggestions?

Thank you for the reply but this doesn't seem to work for me...
