I have found that Photoshop will no longer let me drag certain images into a document. I get an error "Could not place because the source rectangle is empty". I have attached an image that triggers this error in CC 2018 (I've tested on 3 machines). Does anyone else get this error, is it a bug?
What do you mean? Change the resolution of the source document or the image I'm dragging in?
Of the image you place.

Change the resolution (without Resampling).

What do you mean? Change the resolution of the source document or the image I'm dragging in? I can open the image within Photoshop and then copy/paste it into the original document but that is quite tedious.

ah that worked! I don't know how I managed to make the resolution such an odd value; I exported the image from After Effects. Thanks

Thank you! I've been searching for a solution-- people are talking about PS permissions-- resetting PS all kinds of crap-- this makes SO much sense!!

Same for "Place" issues... my resolution was weird... like 30000x30000 inches by 1 pixel for supposed 1920x1080 (72dpi) footage. Changed the resolution to 1920x1080 - 72 dpi... try placing and... Voilà ! It works. I guess it's time to make a batch to convert all footage to appropriate resolution.
