Using drag-and-drop to copy between applications
The drag-and-drop feature lets you copy and move images between Photoshop or ImageReady and other applica-
tions.
In Windows, the application must be OLE-compliant. To duplicate an entire image by dragging and dropping, use
t
he Move tool to drag the image. To copy an OLE object that contains PSD data, use the OLE clipboard. (See your
Windows documentation.)
