Do not drag the D&D image into Photoshop.

[Ya-Grisha]

In Firefox, the picture is transmitted, though with one minus, if the picture has an alpha channel, then it is not transmitted and the picture is filled with black.

@Ya-Grisha Presumably, what you means is to allow Drag and Drop of images to PhotoShop.

This request is now in the Feature requests for 1.8 / 1.9 thread as :

Allow Drag and Drop of Images to other Apps

AFAIK all browsers behave like that, my guess is that it's a Windows clipboard issue...

[Pesala]

The clipboard data is 32-bit, and the copied image pastes just fine into PagePlus.

@Pesala I have no idea what the "PagePlus" is (Google suggests it's a cellular phone service provider), so I guess it's some sort of an image viewer/editor? So far I haven't seen any browser nor image editor that would allow copying/pasting PNG files and preserving their alpha channels, though I admit I haven't done any research to find one either...

Maybe the Desktop Publishing one.

That's the one. PagePlus X9 is the final version, so is being sold at a give-away price. It is very powerful, and the in-built PhotoLab can do all kinds of things with images. Your avatar and Pafflick's are JPG, not PNG

[pafflick]

@Pesala I see. As I said, I haven't done any research to it, as it doesn't really bother me that much. Though the threads I found on StackExchange here and here both suggest that it is a clipboard issue after all...

Yes. Thenks.

It may well be, although when you transfer to your desktop and then in the editor, then there is no problem.

But - to my knowledge - that type of action does not involve the system's clipboard, and thus it's not faulty.

@pafflick It's a bug in PhotoShop. The data on the clipboard is 32-bit as my screen shot from PagePlus proves. The stack exchange thread said:

@ryan FWIW, this actually seems to be a bug on the Photoshop side. It works in Paint.net, when copied from IE, FF, or Chrome. I thought maybe a workaround would be "Paste in Paint.net, select all, copy, paste in Photoshop", but that doesn't work--you get the image on white instead of black, but still with no transparency. – Kip Nov 25 '11 at 19:29
