Learn the fast and easy way to open an image as a new Photoshop document, or import images as layers in your existing Photoshop document, just by dragging and dropping them. Photoshop has “official” ways to open or import images, like the Open button on the Home Screen for opening an image as a new document, or the Place Embedded and Load Files into Stack commands for importing images as layers into an existing document. But in this video, we look at the easiest way to open or add images which is to simply drag them from Windows Explorer or the Mac Finder and drop them directly into Photoshop. I hope this video is helpful!
