Help!

I am working on the crop challenge and made myself do it in CS. I have a frame open and I want to add it to my image. I usually drag one layer to the other document. I can't get that to work. :cry:

Can someone tell me what to do without laughing at me...

Kimi, did you try the same maneuver in Elements and did it work there?

It's what I have always done. Drag the layer from one document to the other. (in Elements)

edit: got it. :P

You got it in CS? What turned out to be the issue?

I had one of those light bulb moments. :idea:

I was trying to grab a frame and had not played in CS much and my auto select was still checked. So I was grabbing empty pixels. Turned that stupid auto select off and I was fine. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Note to self: "Turn off Auto Select"..... :idea:

Thanks for the tip, Kimi! :D

Kimi, I had a problem dragging something into a photo yesterday doing Jane's Sketch Challenge and I remembered seeing this thread and unchecked auto select and I was good to go.

I just wanted to thank you for posting back what you did to fix the problem.
