Using Drag and Drop to Import and Export Images

In addition to dedicated import and export functions, drag and drop is a quick way to copy images into and out of CS Imaging. Drag and drop is a general term that describes a method of copying items between two open software applications.

You can use drag and drop to:

Import images from a folder.
Export images as .JPG files to a folder.
Add images to Microsoft Office documents.
Attach images to emails.

To use drag and drop, make sure the source and destination applications are open and resize them, so both are clearly visible on your desktop. Then click an item—for example, an image file in CS Imaging—and drag it over the destination application window. If the destination application supports drag and drop, when you release the mouse button, the image is dropped into that application window as a .JPG image.
