Inserting Images in Photoshop

Question

Browsers

If you copy a transparent PNG image in places in the browser and paste it into Photoshop, the result will be like this

. And if you first save it to disk and then paste it, the result will be like this


. Why is this happening? Is there any way to teach Photoshop to paste an image copied from the browser without corrupting the alpha channel?

Answer 1

If we are talking about Windows, then there is no alpha channel in the usual clipboard :(

So you have to get the file and open it in Photoshop itself.

Answer 2

I don’t understand, do you need to draw a smiley mouth on a smiley or something?

Answer 3

Perhaps someone will be interested. I solved the problem by installing the plugin Open With Photoshop

Answer 4

In general, the easiest way is to copy the url of the picture, press ctrl + o to paste the url and the picture will immediately download to the pace and open (at least on Windows).
