I'm brand new to photoshop. My drag and drop is not working. Everytime I try it has the circle with the line through it. I've unistalled and updated and even got an earlier version of photoshop and it still wont work. The files are all compatable and will open in new layers but refuse to drag and drop.

Hi @LiL_Livvy2477, welcome to the community!
Could you clarify a few details for us? Where exactly are you dragging and dropping your file, to the Photoshop icon in the taskbar, or into the Photoshop window? Are you dragging from a menu or from another Photoshop window? And what file formats are you working with?
Thanks so much!
Alek
