Copy/paste images from photoshop to illustrator

I often edit photos for print publication in photoshop and copy/paste them in to .eps files for resizing and use by our printers.
I have experienced problems with colours not being accurate/rasterizing after copying and also greyscale becoming lighter/having less contrast.
Can anyone suggest a solution or send me a link to good web resources explaining why im having these problems?
Thanks
Dave

The graphic is embedded, you loose most all ability to control color. Use file >> place and check the link box to place this as a linked graphic. Then the values you see in phothsop will be the values sent to the output device. Any color management you add on top of this is the only thing that would change the color.
Also make sure you have file >> document color  mode >> set to CMYK
With linking your files will be faster and take up less space on disk.

    Assuming Windows...
    You can, assuming you select around the pixels you want to copy, and the selected region isn't too large.
    There are a variety of ways you can get the copy operation wrong, e.g., by not having the proper layer selected or similar.
    And there's a secret setting to enable Photoshop to export its clipboard no matter how large the selected pixel set is.  Note the setting I have bolded below.  Keep in mind that by making this setting you may be subjecting all the software on your computer that registers to receive clipboard data to datasets that are larger than it might expect.  In other words, there could be a downside.  That being said, I haven't had any problems on my Windows 8 system.

  • Copy and paste image from IE to Illustrator

    Dear Illustrator users,
    I need to copy and paste images from IE10 or IE11 (Internet Explorer) to Illustrator (CS6, CC).
    I right-click image, choose "copy" in Internet Explorer
    now I can paste it to mspaint, word, photoshop, etc. It works fine..
    but when I try to paste image to Illustrator, it pastes url link instead of image.
    I know this problem comes with IE10. When I downgrade to IE9, it start to work fine.
    Any suggestion?
    Kind Regards,
    Jarda

    Hi Jacob,
    Thank you for a quick answer. Your suggestion is correct, but saving image to a file is an additional step.
    Since I do this task "thousands a day", this is unacceptable
    Any other suggestion?
    Regards,
    Jarda

  • Can't copy-paste images from Noteshelf in iOS6

    Hi,
    I use an app called Noteshelf (v7.0). In iOS5, I was able to copy-paste pictures from Noteshelf into other apps, such as Keynote (v1.7.1) or in an email. However, since I upgraded to iOS6, this doesn't work anymore. As the versions of Noteshelf and Keynote are the same, the logical conclusion is that something has changed in the copy-paste functionality of iOS6. Can somebody tell me about this and, better still, give me a fix for it?
    Thanks!

  • Copy and Paste Images from Photoshop

    I can INSERT psd, jpg, (any) image files into Dreamweaver. I
    can COPY text from Word or Internet. I can COPY images off of
    Internet...
    ...but I can NOT copy from Photoshop (jpg or psd) into
    Dreamweaver. Simply does not copy. Paste is not an option. Grayed
    out. Hmmm. Any ideas?

    @Michael Fesser
    I expect that upon entering Ctrl+V or Paste at an insertion
    point in Dreamweaver, to be greeted with the "Optimize for Web
    & Devices" dialogue box, after which I input the appropriate
    settings (a jpg, gif, or png file is created), the image would
    appear in the document just as though I inserted it via myriad
    other conventional methods.
    I'm taking the Lynda tutorial (Dreamweaver CS4 Essentials)
    and following along EXACTLY, and am unable to recreate the copy and
    paste from Photoshop.
    Also, see this Adobe Dreamweaver Help & Support Tutorial
    http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/dreamweaver/articles/lrvid4043_dw.html
    Go down about halfway to: Cutting and Pasting from Photoshop
    into Dreamweaver
    I cannot recreate what is shown here either.
    @toastieo
    Yes, the Save For Web is how I've done things all along. Now
    I'm taunted with the prospect of doing a quick edit and insert with
    copy & paste, and it doesn't work for me! I guess I can live
    without it, but I would have rather been blissful in my ignorance
    of the possibility!

  • Word crash with sharepoint document and copy-pasting image from paint

    Initially I've posted this to another forum but there the rec was to post it here as well.
    I have a very annoying issue occurring in specific circumstances (but unfortunately for me that is my daily work), it happens when a document is stored on a SharePoint server. When I copy-paste an image from ms paint into word, often I get the message 'word
    has encountered an error' but then I can continue, but every 5-10 times Word crashes completely.
    When the error (not the crash) occurs, there is this nothing-saying error message stated below. Think of it.. my ‘floppy disk’ is not full, I have 8 GB of ram and I’ve all the permissions I require. The virus scanner is Symantec Endpoint
    Protection.
    All systems are in a world-wide enterprise environment (>20.000 users) – So I guess from that side everything is configured OK.
    There is a problem saving the file.
    Usually this is because the disk or floppy disk is too small for the file or is full, RAM memory is low, or there is a permission problem with the drive the file is being saved to.
    If the amount of disk space for a paging file is low, save the file to another drive. If the RAM memory is low, increase available RAM. If permissions to the drive do not allow you to save to that drive, save the file to another drive or request
    permissions from the administrator to save files to the drive.
    Note   This error can also occur if the computer is running a version of antivirus software that is incompatible with the Microsoft Office or must be updated.

    Hi,
    What is the version of Word?
    Sometimes the Preview Pane in Windows File Explorer may conflict with Word, thus the error message appears. If you have enabled the Preview Pane in File Explorer, disable it to check the result. For example, in Windows 8.1, Open File Explorer, click
    View tab on the top -> Panes -> Click Preview Pane to enable or disable it.
    If the issue persists, I suggest you collect the event logs to find the cause of the crash:
    Press Win + R, type "eventvwr" in the blank box, press Enter to open Event Viewer. Browse to Windows Logs -> Application, check if there is any error about the crash.
    You can send the event logs to our email address and we can help analyze the problem:

  • Draging images from photoshop to illustrator

    Hello,
    I am attempting drag images made in photoshop cs5 in illustrator cs5 on a mac. However when I do this any transparent portions of the photoshop image fill with white. Is there any way to keep that from happening?

    As emmysue32 wrote you can also used advanced tiffs or transparrent ftiffs as they are sometimes known which Illustrator CS 4 and later support which also means they be placed perserving thier layers as with .psd files.
    However, at least for Illustrator it is not necessary to check the Preservve Transparency option as long as youy tell the diting application to wrtie layers.

  • Copy/Paste Image from Clipboard - still no support for transparency?

    I just tried to load an Image from the Clipboard by using DataFlavor.imageFlavor. Everything works well if the clipboard-image doesn´t use any transparency. When loading an image with alpha-channel (png or gif), the transparency occurs as black pixels. Here is the code snippet:
    Clipboard clip = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard();;
    Transferable t = clip.getContents(null);
    BufferedImage img = (BufferedImage) t.getTransferData(DataFlavor.imageFlavor);img.getType allways returns TYPE_INT_RGB, even if the image contains alpha-data.
    According to this Bug-Report
    [http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4720930]
    this should have bin fixed in 1.4.2, if i´m not wrong?
    Can anyone confirm this problem, and is there any workaround? The one described in the bug-report doesn´t work for me, since clipboard-images in my case don´t match DataFlavor.javaFileListFlavor.

    The best is to try it yourself I guess.
    Go to Github and try pasting an image into the compose editor.
    The editor definitely supports image pastings. They work directly in Chrome(ium).
    Thus I am wondering why Firefox does not support direct pasting from clipboard into the editor.
    See the attached screenshot regarding the editor I am talking about.

  • Copy/Paste text between Photoshop & illustrator CC not keeping formatting

    Hi, before when I copied text over from photoshop to illustrator it kept the text formatting. For example the font, font size, color.
    Now when I use CC and copy paste text from PS to AI, all text formatting is lost and everything is placed as whatever the current AI text setting is.
    HOWEVER, pasting from AI to PS WORKS as it should. All font/text formatting is maintained.
    Is this a bug or is there a setting for this that I just never knew about?

    Now when I use CC and copy paste text from PS to AI, all text formatting is lost
    Seems to work for me on Photoshop 14.0 and Mac OS 10.8.4.

  • How do I copy an image from one Keynote presentation to another one?

    I have a previously saved presentation on Keynote in iCloud. I created it from my desktop at work. Some of the images I used for the presentation I want to use again in another presentation, onlh this time I am working off my laptop and don't have the same access to those images. Is it possible to copy/paste images from one Keynote presentation into another? I can't even seem to click on the image and save it.
    Any suggestions?

    Clicking and dragging does not work.
    Click on the image and Copy and Paste
    or
    Inspector > Metrics > File Info > click on the icon of the file and drag it to your desktop
    You can then drag that file back in wherever you want.

  • Copy/Paste images into Contribute CS3

    We have been copying and pasting images from Word Documents
    in Office 2003 into Contribute CS3 at my organization when
    developing content. We have been able to copy/paste images from
    Office 2003 and other programs like Paintshop Pro and SnagIt.
    Since upgrade to Microsoft Office 2007 all image copying and
    pasting has stopped working.
    Is there a known issue with this?
    Does anyone else have Office 2007 installed and is able to
    copy/paste images from a Word Document into a page in Contribute
    CS3?

    It appears that the problem only occurs if you are copy and
    pasting from something that hasn't been saved yet.
    In Word I inserted an image from my hard drive and tried to
    copy/paste it into Contribute and that failed. I then saved the
    Word Document to my hard drive, re-opened it and was able to
    copy/paste fine.
    Power Point, Snagit and Pain Shop Pro appear to have the
    problem even if it's been saved first.
    I was able to copy/paste an image from a Word Doc and
    PowerPoint into MSPaint just fine. I was also able to copy/paste
    between Office applications with out any problem. Snagit could
    copy/paste into Office just fine and MSPaint.
    This problem appears to be specific to Contribute CS3 but
    only from certain sources.

  • Calling Javascripts with a panel then prevents copy/paste functions in Photoshop CS5

    Hi,
    I have a simple panel in Photoshop that calls a Javascript when a button is pressed.
    I have a simple script that does some Duplication of layers and a bit of simple image manipulation.
    I run the script from the Extended Toolkit and eveything works fine.
    I run the same script from the Panel and the script runs fine; but then the copy / Paste functionality of Photoshop is broken.
    I have to close the Panel window or run the script from the toolkit to get the functionality back.
    EDIT:  I have not narrowed this down to simple interations with the Panel can casue this issue - clicking on icons, switching `Tabs` etc...
    Does anyone know why this is happening?
    Cheers,
    Pete

    Hi,
    I created a simple panel that only had a button that calls an external JavaScript.
    Even if I simply click on the panel a few times, move it around etc without executing the script, I can get the copy paste error.  It happens 90% of the time and interestingly it only happens on the currently active document.
    The only way to get the functionality back is to close the panel.
    It seems to be a focus issue,  but as I'm not calling any script in this case - where could I put the Bridge Talk command?
