Let's say I have to images open in Photoshop CS4 / Mac (IMG-A and IMG-B. I am making some adjustment layer in IMG-A and I want to be able to copy it to IMG-B. How do I do that?

    If you go to Window menu/Arrange/"Float all in Windows":
    the images will no longer in Tabs, you will be able to drag-copy the layers between the different images.

    Well, that's what I used to do in Windows. However, in Mac OS X this
    is not working.

    I have Photoshop CS4 and Mac OS X 10.5.6

    I found that you can't move adjustment layers if one is in CMYK and one is in RGB.

    halarious! 


    Considering that RGB adjustments don't apply in CMYK and vice versa - just think about it once more and I'm sure you understand why.

    All you need to do is drag the actual adjustment layer from one image to the other. Simple as that.
