Anyone struggling thru this book as I am?
I am a new PS student and am having trouble in the first chapter.
How do you copy and paste from Bridge to PS. I can edit>copy from Bridge, but in PS, as the illustration in the book suggests, the paste function is greyed out.
What gives?

Copy in Bridge is generally used to move an image or images to another folder not to paste in PS.
Double click, or File|Open, or Ctrl+O opens the image in PS.
Are you sure you're reading it right? |

Hey there. Thanks for picking up the book.
The Copy/Paste is not done in Bridge (actually nothing in the book uses Bridge). If copy/paste is grayed out, make sure you go to your layers palette and you have a layer selected (clicked on). Also make sure it's a regular layer (not a type layer, adjustment layer). Also, sometimes it helps depending on what tutorial you're talking about, to have a selection active. So make sure you see the marching ants and that you've got a layer selected in the Layers palette.
Hope this helps.
