Can't copy and paste between Photoshop and Dreamweaver

The recommended way to import assets from a Photoshop PSD files since Dreamweaver CC 2014.1 is to use the Extract panel.
In older versions of Photoshop and Dreamweaver (CS3 and above), you can copy a selection or layer from a PSD in Photoshop directly into Dreamweaver (you need both Photoshop and Dreamweaver installed on the same computer). This launches the Image Preview dialog box for you to optimize and save an image ready for the Web.
If you can't copy from Photoshop into Dreamweaver, make sure that the Export Clipboard check box is selected in the Photoshop General Preferences panel.
Many thanks to Bob Levine for providing this useful tip.

It sounds like you need to trash your prefs. See Replace Your Preferences
And it shouldn't throw that message, but also check to be sure that Paste Remembers Layers isn't checked in the Layers panel flyout menu or you'll never get anything to paste from one layer to another.

  • Copy and pasting to Photoshop and maintaining position

    I have tried to export a fairly complex illustrator file to PSD but encounter a 'not enough memory to save image' error (even though I have 8gb installed). As a workaround I am trying to cut and paste each illustrator layer into a new Photoshop layer. Both documents are the same size, but I can't figure out how to copy and paste and maintain the relative position of the layers to each other once I paste them into PS.
    Can anyone help? Surely this is possible!
    Thanks

    Best method depends on the specific circumstance. But not knowing the specific circumstance, here's a method I have used for many years:
    Assume a full-page ad that includes of a full-bleed raster image in the background. Various vector elements and live text need to be positioned optimally relative to the background image. Some of those elements are to be created as vector objects, but "flattened" as part of the background raster image. The final will be delivered as a PDF exported from the program being used for page assembly.
    1. Create the background image in the raster imaging program, including bleeds.
    2. Set up the page in the vector drawing program or page assembly program to match, including bleeds, with guides at the trims.
    3. Place a low-res FPO of the raster image in the page assembly program, on its own layer, or otherwise locked. (A mere screenshot often suffices for this.)
    4. Create the various text and vector objects.
    5. For the set of vector objects that needs to become part of the background image:
    5.1 Draw two small filled, unstroked rectangles (quarter inch or whatever) aligned to two opposite corners of the raster image.
    5.2 Select these two objects along with whatever objects I want to rasterize as part of the background image. Copy.
    5.3 Paste into the raster image program. The pasted content either auto-sizes to the bounds of the background image because it is of the same aspect ratio, or can easily be scaled to size before being deselected and rasterized. When deselected, the pasted content is rasterized to the same resolution of the background image, on its own layer (depending on the program.)
    5.4 If the temporary "registration objects" (the two tiny squares) are within the trim, simply select them and delete them. If they reside only in the bleed, they can be left.
    5.5 Apply whatever layer effects or other raster editing desired to the new content.
    5.6 Flatten the whole image. Save it in appropriate full-res format. Import it to the page assembly program. delete the now-unnecessary vector objects that have become parts of the raster image. Export the press-ready PDF.
    Specifics vary, of course, depending upon what specific programs are being used, and according to the specifics of the design. The basic principle is simply to create a couple of temporary "registration objects" at two opposing corners and include those in whatever you are taking to the raster program. They then serve to establish the aspect ratio and/or size of the transferred content.
    Clean, simple, straightforward. Yes, slightly more work than the "just-draw-whatever-'looks-good'-on-screen-and-hang-how-it's-built" school of haphazard design that puts too much trust in all the automated flattening of raster effects applied in vector programs. But the final page construction is also clean, simple, straightforward, and I never have to worry about ugly surprises such as stitching artifacts between too many auto-created abutting raster slices.

  • Linking and updating between photoshop and illustrator cs6

    Im having trouble with linking my files from photoshop to illustrator on a mac.
    Im using CS6 and it used to work fine, I'm not sure if I disabled a option somewhere but now It doesn't update the files when I make changes.
    For example if I'm making a change in photoshop and saving it, It should ask me to update in illustrator but it doesn't

    @SP/RAA
    Jean posted perhaps the best solution for your problem.
    A template is an Illustrator document for startup. You can create a document...place all the colors you want to the Swatches panel....insert contents to symbol, brushes, graphic styles and so on. Then you can go File > Save as Template.
    Now...when you want to start a new document..you could File > New from Template. Then new document will have all the stuffs of the template, including other specifications like rulers viewed...guides...
    But even using template you cannot update a batch of documents...The template is only a document for start...and it does not keep linked to new documents based on it.
    Or you try via script (do not know how further it would help) or try the alternative given by Jean.

  • I can't copy and paste in Photoshop.

    I can't copy and paste in Photoshop. When I try to copy a layer with Crtl + C, nothing happens. I am on Windows 7 64 Bit.

    Another way is to select your layer in Layers panel.
    Select the Move tool, hold down your mouse button on the source document.
    Drag it onto the tab of the target document, that window opens.
    Then onto the document and release.

  • CS 5.5 Mac - can't copy and paste between layers

    I'm running CS 5.5 on Mac (OS 10.7.4).  Try as I might, I can't copy and paste between layers.
    Create new document
    Create new layer (= 2)
    With first layer active, create text box and type randomly
    Swtich to pointer, select text box, Copy
    With second layer active, Paste
    Error message onscreen:
    <<Cannot paste or place onto locked or hidden layers.  Do you want to unlock and show all affected layers in order to paste?>>
    If click OK, the source layer (layer 1) becomes active again, and my text box gets pasted in.  The destination layer (layer 2) is untouched.
    Both layers are visible, neither of them are locked.
    Any ideas much appreciated!

  • Copy&paste between textedit and javachat

    I'm running a MacBook Pro 2.4GHz intel OSX 10.5.6. I moderate a java chat room and keep broadcasts and IP#'s in text edit and so copy and paste between the two. But lately I'm running into a loss of this ability. I can copy and paste within textedit or within the java chat, but not between them. When it first began happening a reboot was enough to bring that function back, but now I'm having to run onyx to repair permissions etc. to get it right again. How do i fix this? When the room's busy, i really need that function. I don't know if this is related, but got this message after the last permission repair...

    is there a way to copy and paste between user accounts?

    You can drag files to the Drop Box folder in another user's Public folder.

  • Why does the frame color change to black when I copy and paste between documents?

    Copying and pasting between documents in Indesign. The color of the text stays the same but the lines and frames change from a specified color to black. Also changes when I drag and drop can anyone tell me how to fix this?

    You have not provided any exact information like what version of ID, system info, paragraph styles, color definitions and whatnot, so we can't know what is going on. either way, ask in the ID forum and provide all those important details.

  • I can't paste between AI and PS.

    I can't paste between AI and PS. When I paste from one Illustrator document and another it works fine but when I paste from AI to PS I get a blank box of the right size but no content. I've done this 100s of times but today it does not work. Also PS to PS works, just not Illustrator to Photoshop. Any ideas? Thanks

    Yes, it's easy when you know how
    You can even swipe in the middle of the screen.

  • I want to take a voice memo off my iPhone, put it into iTunes Library and convert it to an .mp3.  How do I get the voice memos from my phone?  I can't seem to move them out of the Devices folder, no matter how much I try to copy and paste or drag and drop

    I want to take a voice memo off my iPhone, turn it into and .mp3, and email it.  My iPhone shows up under "Devices" in my iTunes but doesn't allow me to move the voice memo files I see sitting there into my Library no matter how much copying and pasting or dragging and dropping I try to do. 
    Also, I need to convert the file to an .mp3. 
    How come no voice memo files show up when I go into my iPhone via My Computer?  All it shows are the videos and pictures in the DCIM folder, but not the voice memos.  Is there another way to access the voice memos other than through iTunes? 

    Email it to yourself, then save the file and then see if you can convert it to MP3.

  • Can't get Camera Raw widow to open between Photoshop and Bridge.

    Okay, so I can't get the Camera Raw editing window to open between Photoshop and Bridge on my new computer. I used Migration Assist and synced up all files from my old computer, and the Camera Raw setting still works fine on my old Laptop. And even images that I edited/adjusted in Camera raw, they automatically pop up in Camera Raw on my new computer, but images that have not been openned in Camera Raw before, don't automaticlly open in Camera Raw editing window?
    How do I fix this so that all images open through Camera Raw window before in Photoshop??

    What kind of file format, raw or JPEG? If JPEG then you'll need to set your Camera Raw Preferences correctly to have JPEGs open in Camera Raw.

  • How can I better improve the color of images between Photoshop and Premiere?

    I have trouble getting true colors between Photoshop and Premiere CS6.
    What can I do to solve this situation?

    Premiere Pro works internally with colors in an RGB (red, green, blue) color space. If you want to edit video clips you create in Photoshop in Premiere Pro, create the clips in RGB.
    If you want to broadcast the final movie it is best to ensure, in Photoshop, that the colors in your image are broadcast-safe. Assign the appropriate destination color space—for example, SDTV (Rec. 601)—to the document in Photoshop.
    You can refer to some suggestion as below:

  • Using Clipmate to copy and paste between projects

    Thanks to Robert Johnston for the inspiration (and perspiration) for this method for copying and pasting between PE projects. One residual side effect of the method is that the audio and video of the copied clips will be unlinked. The renaming folders business is a workaround to avoid the silent audio problem after a project has been saved and reloaded.
    1. Rename the folders of all audio files (including AVI files) used in the project to be copied.
    2. Start PE and load in the project to be copied.
    3. When asked, tell PE where the missing files are. (Check the box marked "Display Only Exact Name Matches".) Press Select.
    4. Highlight parts (or all) of the project to be copied, in the timeline.
    5. Copy the highlighted parts.
    6. Copy into Clipmate:
    6.1 Edit > Capture Special
    6.2 Check both items in the list
    6.3 OK
    7. Close PE without saving.
    8. Rename the folders of the audio files back again.
    9. Open destination project in PE.
    10. Re-select the copied info in Clipmate (closing the project in PE caused the clipboard to be cleared):
    10.1 Select anything in the Clipmate list except the wanted item.
    10.2 Select the wanted item (selecting an item loads it onto the clipboard).
    11. Position the CTI to the wanted insertion point.
    12. Do Edit > Paste Insert.
    13. The pasted items will be highlighted in Media Panel. While still highlighted, select the Media Panel and do: Edit > Locate Media.
    14. Tell PE where the files are.
    15. Save project.

    When combining projects, it is best to do your pruning of unwanted clips and other resources BEFORE you combine them, because once the Media Panel gets heavily loaded, PE is liable to crash.
    Deleting the unused resources in Media Panel is quite easy in PE3 and PE4. Simply click on the "used" column heading, and the resources will be sorted into two groups of used and unused. Just click on the resource at one end of the unused range and shift click on the resource at the other end to select the whole range, then press delete. (Note that shift works normally in this panel, unlike in the timeline!) However, it is not strictly necessary to delete unused resources before copying and pasting because only resources selected on the timeline will be copied. PE will load and save a lot quicker if unwanted resources are deleted.
    My feeling is that PE4 is somewhat more unstable than PE3, but I haven't done a proper direct comparison. For some reason after a crash the autosave often doesn't seem to have done its job properly, even though I set it to save every 10 mins. So make use of the Save button Adobe gave back to us in PE4 and save often, particularly before you use the titler or fiddle with the Media Panel.
