Can't drag photos to Photoshop any more

Just upgraded to Photos...


I used to be able to select a bunch of photos in iPhoto and drag them down to the Photoshop icon in my dock and Photoshop would open all the photos.


This is no longer working since I upgraded to Photos.


Any ideas?? I do NOT want to have to export them first - that is too time consuming. Just want to drag and open.


Thank you

Photos-OTHER, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), Photoshop CS5

I am running 10.10.5 on a Mac Pro and have tried dragging from Photos holding the Shift key down. That isn't working. Is there a fix? I have the latest Adobe software as of updating it today.

You are 5 upgrades behind with many new features and bug fixes in these 5 - upgrade to El Captain OS X 10.11.5 and Photos 1.5 and this should be resolved - when you use old, out of date software you can not expect it to [preform like the current software does


and with the current software to edit in PhotosShop or other external editor you purchase the External Editors for Photos from the App store - it gives you seamless integration and lossless editing

If you update your system to El Capitan 10.11.5 and Photos to 1.5 you can use Photoshop from within Photos to edit just like we could with iPhoto. All it takes is the the 99¢ External Editors For Photos from the App Store. This user tip shows how: External Editors in Photos Are Here.


There have been many improvements and bug fixes between the 10.10.5 Photos version and the current version.
