How do I set Photoshop to not make transparent sections black?

[Xanthe_2871]

Hi. This is very frustrating, in Photoshop when I copy paste an image with a transparent bg it replaces it with black. How do I turn that off?

 

Here is an example. I google "dinosaur" because, dinos are cool! I want this image:

 

But if I copy it to my clipboard, then paste it into Photoshop, I get this:

 

Why? If I save the image, then open from the file it works just fine. I get what I wanted:

 

How do I set Photoshop to give me that last image when I copy/paste? It would save so much time if I could copy/paste these images rather than save and load them.

 

Thank you!

Haven't used Photoshop for ages, but iirc, if you paste image on a blank (white) page, it'll do this. If you create a new document and select it has transparent background, it should keep it transparent. Or try pressing command for "select all" (Ctrl+A I think) and then hitting delete to erase everything on page. Paste it then. Does that work?

Turning off the bg layer in a new file does not seem to make a difference, it's still adding the black.

...wow, I've used Windows PCs for 20 years, never knew a program could open a web file by copy pasting the URL into the windows explorer box...

 

Thank you!
