I got photoshop for Christmas so I'm trying to learn it before I go any further with the project. I'm watching some tutorials and I see people drag a file to photoshop and when they release, it puts the file in a window. When I try doing that, it adds it to a new layer of the current project instead of putting it into a separate window.
I can right click on the upper tabs and select move to new window but I can't seem to find where to set it up to do that automatically in the preferences. I have cs5 extended.
Seems Photoshop is same as Corel, only harder to use (i have it too). I still prefer corel, as it has the usual ctrl+z for undo, it isn't so huge and drag and dropping works fast: You drag to window, you get a new object in your current file window. You drag outside the file window, you get a new file opened.
EDIT: Figured it out: Drag the file to your top gray part of the project window. It will act as a browser tab. See how trilobite picture is right next to New Project.
