CS4 tabs

[Pantoned]

I want to give a try to cs4 tabs and the new clean look (before I give up and turn it off), problem is that in my workflow I'm constantly dragging layers and groups between images, I don't like the copy paste route and I'm sure there must be a way to drag the layers to the tab name but I just can't find it in google or psp help. I know I can put tabs side by side but doing this every time is a loss of time. Anyone has experience about it?

hmmm.  The only solution I've been able to find is to leave the target image as a tab and pull the image with the layer I need to drag TO that off the tab dock or whatever it's called.  Just click the tab and drag it into the workspace, it will float.  Not very elegant, and not sure if that will help you.

Thanks for the suggestion. Anyway I'm sure there must be a way, or it should be....can't believe Adobe didn't think about it.

Actually there is a way. Not an obvious one and I've seen no mention of it anywhere, even the chaps at Adobe UK were unaware of this.
So rather than drag layers to the tab - the obvious method, you select layer/layers you want to move, switch to Move tool and drag from image, not layer panel to the tab you wish. Wait....and then the tab switches and you can drag layers onto image. If you hold shift key down it also centres. A bit clunky, but at least it works.

Dragging layers to tabs was very much asked for in the beta testers forums.
