Is there a plug-in for MS Paint that will allow me to edit an image in Photoshop from MS Paint? That way, I don't have to save the image and then open it in Photoshop.

Example: When I take a screenshot it needs to be opened in MS Paint, saved, and the opened in Photoshop if I want to edit it. I'd like a plug-in for MS Paint where I can go to 'File' > 'Edit in Photoshop'.

Anyone ever seen one of these?

why not just paste the image in photoshop when you take it.

It doesn't let you. If I press 'PrtScr' > Open Photoshop > Edit > The Paste option is grayed out. It doesn't recognize that anything is on the clipboard.

well you can do ctrl+v when you open a blank page and that'll put the image there.

you have to open a new image. After pressing print screen open PS then click file > new (the dimmensions will already be there for the size of image on clipboard - whatever your resolution is set to) then click edit > paste.

The dimmensions will be different if you did alt + print screen, of course

ctrl+V is paste. Fuck the options on the edit.

he just needs to open a new image first- that's the only step he didn't do. Yes, ctrl+V = paste, ctrl + C = copy.....weeee...shortcuts. ;) jk, twisterx!

Photoshop also detects if there is clipboard data, so the new image is automaticly the same size as your copied image. Pretty cool there.
