I can't drag and drop an image into Photoshop CS5

[jennytintin]

I don't know what's going on. I've never had this problem before.

When I try to drag and image into photoshop I get the black circle with a black line through it

I took of the administrative settings also. I've tried everything, I've uninstalled it then reinstalled it. Nothing. Please help.

That is not a photoshop problem.

Has something to do with the OS permission level, or image marked read only.

Rather than drag and drop try copy, or move to.  Easier for OS to handle that, especially if trying to move from external drive or network.

How do I change my OS settings to let me drag and drop?

Thanks so much! created an account jsut to show how thankful and happy I am xd. Stupid problem but hardly have I ever seen an answer to it. Dragging, nope, Copy pasting, yup. LOVES ❤️

How do you copy and paste it in? i right clicked on the image and clicked copy, but in photoshop there wasnt a paste button

Where are you dragging the image from. Like I think I can drag a image from internet explorer but not from chrome.  Your problem may also be application related

[jennytintin]

I drag the image from my pictures folder

Nevermind the problem is fixed. Idk what happened but I uninstalled illustrator and reinstalled it and now I can drag and drop into photoshop. I didn't know illustrator was the problem

Solution for Photoshop CC: right-click the photoshop icon > Propreties > Compatibility tab,  and uncheck 'Run this program as administrator'

Hi Jimmy, which Photoshop icon are you referring to, to click on?

[sishamIAGD]

In your start menu.

[Jimmy Papas]

Well yes cleem any photoshop icon, or shortcut, whether its in your start menu, on you desktop....

careful: this is tricky, if you right click the photoshop icon on your windows 7 taskbar, a new menu opens, you'll have to right click again on the "Photoshop cc" icon, in order to access properties.

does this make it clear? did it work fine with you? let me know

Solved! thank u Jimmy , just uncheck 'Run this program as administrator'

Hello All,

So I just bought a MacBook Air and downloaded Photoshop Creative Design onto it. While I am wishing Photoshop I have a "new" tab created with 500 w and 700 h for example. Also while in photoshop on a separate tab I have another image that I took from the internet opened up. I am trying to drag the image that was opened in photoshop from the internet and drag it onto my "new" tab.

When I had my MacBook Pro before making a move I didn't have this problem before and I could simply drag it right on top of the tab so it transfers over. Curious if anyone has had this problem before and would love some help as I am hoping to accomplish some work here asap!

Thank you!
