You can't copy and paste an image out of Photos, either. It's really quite ridiculous.

- Angostura 10y agoYes you can - I've just done it.
- tqkxzugoaupvwqr 10y agoInstead of being condescending you could have explained how to do it.
- Angostura 10y agoSorry, it really was a question of selecting a picture and the selecting copy from the menu. I wasn't trying to be an arse.
- threeseed 10y ago1. Open Photos. 2. Select Photo. 3. Edit Menu -> Copy. 4. Open TextEdit. 5. Edit Menu -> Paste. It is ridiculous. Ridiculously simple.
- to3m 10y agoAfter some experimentation, it turns out my problem was that I expected - ridiculous, I know - that it would copy image data in some form that's comprehensible to Gimp, Firefox and Thunderbird. So I now rather suspect that Photos is using some new API, that Gimp/Firefox/Thunderbird aren't, and that this new API is, for no particular reason that I can see, not remotely backwards-compatible. Feels like this forms a data point for the thread - since meanwhile, on Windows, I have a couple of programs in my bin folder that I use fairly regularly that I compiled in 2006.
