Drag And Drop?

I used to be able to drag any picture on firefox and drop it into photoshop cs3 and it would open [with the exception of .gifs].
Now I get a not allowed symbol.

It use to work fine like 3 weeks ago.

It doesn't really bother me but I would like to fix it so that I can finish up stuff faster again when I am making banners and stuff for other people.

 

Just right click -> copy
open new canvas (automatically the right size)
paste pic

doesn't that work?
I always do that and it is a nice and fast way.

 

Works too but still a bit slower.

 

its not that much slower..

 

To me it is.
Its useful when I have multiple images.

 

i didn't even know you could do that. I always just copy and open a new canvas.

 

Keeeeeeewwwwwllll.....I dunno how to fix your problem, but it's a totally kewl trick that I didn't know until now ^_^

 

If you've got a new canvas window open it won't allow it. I'm not sure what else to suggest. :S.

 

Try and grab the image to a tab, to see if itll open there.

If it does, its photoshop problem.

 

works fine for me.

 

Hmm, I found out some more details.

It seems that it has something to do with Firefox.
I tried using IE and it worked...

 

Have you got Firefox 3? If so then...

Drag/drop to an image editor doesn't work in Firefox 3, as far as I know.

The reason is that FF3 uses a new graphics "engine," which offers many new improvements. However, it has to work with Windows, Mac, and Linux, which all use different drag/drop methods.

You can always right-click an image and choose "Copy", then start a new photo in your editor and "paste." Similarly, you can save and open images.
