I need to be able to drag a photo off the Internet or from an eMail into a Photoshop CC window so I can mannipulate it - like I do with Photoshop CS5.1. How do I do this?

Ensure you have the rights to use such images.

Along with Nancy's information, you might need to download the file from the email/internet to your desktop prior to placing in Photoshop.  Good luck

I CLICK, HOLD AND DRAG the image from my browser into my Windows PS CC workspace amd then RELEASE my mouse.   Then I double click the Background in my Layers panel to make it editable.  Depending on what type of image it is, I sometimes change the Image Mode to RGB / 8bits.
