Cannot Drag 'n Drop in Photoshop CS3 on Mac

846 views2 repliesLast post: 1/28/2009
Very frustrating.

I cannot drag 'n drop any image file from Bridge CS3 or from Mac's Finder onto a Photoshop CS3 canvas. In older versions, I've been able to easily drag/drop images, but I am perplexed on how to solve this. I've read about having an "Adobe Unit Types" in a ScriptingAdditions folder of Library. I have a file there called, "Adobe Unit Types.osax", so not sure that is an answer.

Any advise is helpful.

My setup:

MacBook Pro
OSX 10.5.6
2GB
Adobe CS3 Extended Suite (Photoshop 10.0.1)

Any advise is helpful.

thx. Craig

I am not sure if this is a feature, since you say it worked on other versions. Has it ever worked with your current setup? If it has, I would suggest resetting your prefs.

If it hasn't, you might want to import using the Smart Object feature. Also, I believe that when I am in Bridge, I can right-click on an image and send it to PS.

You can drag and drop from Bridge into illustrator and InDesign but NOT into Photoshop.

You either "File menu/Place" into Photoshop from Bridge or "Open as Smart Object".

I don't think that has changed.
