Have never used a Photoshop product before. Just purchased Photoshop CC but cannot figure out how to import pics to the program from my computer. Seems like a VERY basic thing but I just can't see how I'm supposed to do it. Any help would be appreciated 🙂

Hi Deboracat123,

To import of open a file in Photoshop you can simple drag the file into photoshop window or go to Files option from the top and select open. and you can also open the file by double clicking in the center of Photoshop gray area and open a file from by locating it.

I have photoshop cc and I am using a MacBook Pro, and therefore as a Mac user my photos are loaded into an application called Photos. If I use File/open, within Photoshop CC, it opens the equivalent of the Finder app, and I can get to the Pictures/Photos Library. But there it stops - even though I know that the images within my photos library are JPEG files - I can't see to select them. If I double click on the Photos Library (or tell it to open Photos Library) then it just tells me it doesn't recognise the file type.

Did I say "obviously" I am still at the equivalent of a folder, not at the level of the JPEGs within that library.

Yes I can drag and drop - but that means I have to open the photos app at the same time

Hi!

In the left upper corner press "file"
Then press the second function "open"

OR

Go to the folder where the Picture is located
Press and hold on the Picture
drag it to Photoshop schortcut on your screen

Simple: File / Open => Choose image from computer, from image format:

1. TIFF (.tif)

2. BMP (.bmp)

3. JPEG (.jpg)

4. GIF (.gif)

5. PNG (.png)

6. EPS (.eps)

7. Files RAW (.raw, .cr2, .nef, .orf, .sr2,…)

Good luck

They don't import. Use FILE>Open or File>Place. Use open when no document is displayed and use place to add images to an existing document.

That said, if there is a problem with the the file it may not open. Make sure you can open the file in another program. To confirm if it is the file or Photoshop.

Tell us what format the image is, can you see open or place in the file menu?

Capture your entire screen with the layers panel open and any collapsed layers expanded.

Photoshop is not like Lightroom where you import from a folder. In PS, there's nothing to import really. Simply go to File > Open and browse to the desired image location on your hard drive.

Or go to File > Browse in Bridge. Bridge will launch and you can select which folder of images to display. Use Shift+Click or Ctrl+Click to select multiple images. Hit enter to open them in Photoshop.
