Has anyone had any problem opening up pics in PS CS by draging the pic onto the doc icon and have PS open the pic. Ive tried doing it but it wont work for whatever reason...tried deleting the prefs...no-go still, but haven't reinstalled it yet though..any other ideas?

    Isn't that a PC only feature? I think you just have to control-click on the picture you want and then select photoshop from the list.

    No problems here. I open image files all the time by dragging them to my Photoshop CS icon in the dock.



    What happens when you try to do that? Does the icon turn dark, indicating that the app can open the files, or not? Do you get an error message of any sort? What happens when you double-click the files? What extension do they have? Can you open them in other image apps by dragging to a dock icon? Can you open them in Photoshop from within the app by doing File -> Open? What about contextual menu -- Can you right click and choose Open with Photoshop CS?

    Im using 10.3.4, and I can open the file within PS by file open..and right click to 'open with' comand works, but it appears if I try a .jpg or any psd file type and drag it onto the doc icon it does turn dark but doesn't open the file even if it's already running..hmmmm damn..annoying. I know it works because I was on another mac 2 days ago and that method worked fine.

    I mean - can you only open files from within the application ?





    When the app is open and running I can open the files with it using the browser or file open method. I have my .jpg & web graphic files set to open when clicked on with the preview app as the default for viewing purposes, but PS can open them if Im in PS and do file open or use the browser. PS(when running or not) will not open files by dragging the file onto the doc icon whether it is a psd or jpg file etc.. too weird.
