Looking for a CMS that can copy & paste images.

    I'm looking for a CMS that will allow me to Ctrl+C to copy and image from photoshop, then paste the copied image into the WYSIWYG editor of a CMS.

    I've found a CMS that has a WYSIWYG editor that has a "Browse" upload button to manually upload the image to a folder on my server, but I wanted to be able to just paste in the WYSIWYG editor and it would automatically upload when I click the Save button.

    Is there such a CMS in existence? Is such a thing even possible?

    Any help is appreciated.

    Not that I know of... you need to load the image file-- and then point to it with your html or php file. Images files-- are not dynamic parts of an internet document. They are files located on disk.

    Character images-- can be cut and paste. Photopshop images cannot...

    Q...

    What you are asking is not possible. The image needs to be transfered to the webserver somehow.
    The closest you can get is with a WYSIWYG plugin. I am using something like that on my photo website. When I write a text, I click on the graphic icon in the editor. A browse window opens and I tell it where the file is on my hard drive. It is automatically being uploaded and shown in my post.

    I am not sure if some of the more advanced AJAX editors will be able to do what you are asking for. There is a version of word (or something similar) online, for online use only. I can imagine that they support copy and paste but I wouldn't know.

    Also copy and paste is not a very wise thing to do, since your image data will we uncompressed, unsuitable for web viewing. If you upload an optimized jpg, you are in a much better situation.
