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 applications.
In Windows, the application must be OLE-
compliant. To duplicate an entire image by
dragging and dropping, use the move tool to
drag the image. To copy an OLE object that
contains.psd data, use the OLE Clipboard.
(See your Windows documentation.)
In Mac OS, the application must support Mac OS
Drag Manager, and you must be running System
8.5, 8.6, or 9.0.
Dragging vector artwork from Adobe Illustrator or
from other applications that use the Illustrator
Clipboard rasterizes the artwork—the mathemat-
ically defined lines and curves of the vector art are
converted into the pixels or bits of a bitmap image.
To copy the vector artwork as a path in Photoshop,
hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Command
(Mac OS) as you drag from Adobe Illustrator.
To copy type, you must first convert it to outlines.
