Hi there

 

I just saw a Julieanne Kost workshop and she was able to drag and drop a file from Lightroom to Photoshop.  I tried doing it from my machine but no luck.  Is there something that I am missing a preference that I have turned off accidentally?

From the Photo menu choose Edit In. 

I believe that drag and drop used to work prior to CC.

Thanks Barbara.  That is how I normally do it but the drag and drop looked like a fast and efficient way of doing it.

I agree wholeheartedly that drag and drop would be faster and more efficient. Since it was working in older versions, I hope that Adobe will make it work in the newer versions as well.

Hi Al,

 

Sorry that you cannot follow along one of the drag & drop tutorials in Lightroom as it does not work as expected.

 

Which version of Lightroom/Photoshop and  the operating system you're working with? You can check that by going to Help > System Info

 

  • Are you dragging a single or multiple files?
  • Are you getting any error message while doing so?

 

Thanks,

Akash

Hi Akash

 

I was trying to drag and drop multiple files into Photoshop.  No error message it is just not allowing me to drop them into Photoshop.  The only way I can do it is via the Photo menu and edit in ......

Keyboard [Ctrl+E] is a little quicker!

What kind of computer do you use, and what operating system (Windows or macOS)?

 

I drag and drop between the latest versions of Lightroom Classic to Photoshop all the time, when I need something slightly different than straight Edit in Photoshop (like placing multiple photos into one Photoshop document as linked Smart Objects). But I’m using a Mac, and I have heard that drag and drop between Lightroom Classic and Photoshop doesn’t work in Windows.

Hey Conrad

 

I am operating a Windows 10 machine with all the latest software updates.  That could be the explanation of why it does not work on my machine.
