P: PS 26.3 Drag image from PS to Ai does not complete

[Quevestria]

I cant drag an image from my open ps file to my open ai file.  I used to be able to drag things no problem.  However, now, when I drop it in ai, it has the green plus sign but nothing happens?  Is this a bug in Ps version 26.3?

hi, ive noticed the same problem. It was working ok and then now its not after update! really frustrating!

Hey Alek,

For some reason I can't copy/paste or drag images from Photoshop to Illustrator anymore. It just suddenly stopped working out of nowhere. Everything else seems fine, just this specific function isn't working at all.

Let me know if you have any thoughts on what might be causing this.

Thanks, Joel

what did you do to fix it? so annoying I cant drag and drop into illustrator anymore from photoshop

Hi Bichler. Although we all appreciate your condescending personal opinions, as an extremely seasoned user I beg to differ. I do agree there are obvious times when placing an image is clearly the best solution, but in the fast-paced phase of concept development there's no time for saving out files then properly placing them into the document. For example when pixel images are developed in PSD and then dumped into illustrator for an image trace. There's no reason to burden the process with additional steps. It's a simple copy / paste.

I agree that would be a good solution (copy and paste) how ever I am also no longer able to do that.  I can copy and paste illustrator - > photoshop but not the other way around. I have reverted my photoshop to an older version and that fixed it

With latest update, again lost the ability to drag and drop images from Photoshop 25 to Illustrator again. Hope this will be corrected soon.

• Checked and unchecked the Export Clipboard option in Photoshop's preferences.

Thank you! The unhelpful grumps in IT recently updated me to PSD 2025, and after a frustrating couple of days, I just gave this a try. It worked for me, as well.
