Dragging Picture Onto "New" project/worksurface, CS4
Len_G...@adobeforums.com
I'm trying to follow directions I got several days ago here to bring an image into a new file that's been sized and resolution set as desired in CS4. Here are the directions I have:
..."Open the...(picture you want to move onto the new picture). Select the Move tool and, holding down the shift key to keep it centered, drag the image into the frame of your new picture."
I'll call the "picture you want to move onto the new picture", picture "A" and the new picture, picture "B". My situation is that picture A is in iPhoto and picture B is a new blank project I've started in CS4 sized to 24 x 24 inches and 300 ppi. I've tried dragging picture A onto picture B two ways without success. In each case, I left clicked the Move tool in CS4 as directed. Then, in the first attempt, I opened iPhoto, dragged the iPhoto space out to the side somewhat, and attempted to drag the image(picture A) out of iPhoto by left clicking on it and holding down the left click until the cursor-holding-the-image was in picture B all the while holding down the shift key as directed. No luck. In the second attempt, I did a copy-and-paste of picture A to the desktop and then left clicked on it and drug it onto picture B all the while holding down the shift key as directed. No luck. Can anyone tell me how to accomplish this transfer and what I've been doing wrong?
Thanks.

Please open Picture A and Picture B both in Photoshop and then you can drag in your way
By the way, you can use Bridge to browse images, you can drag images to Photoshop from Bridge

Used the Bridge route and it solved my problem.
