Can't paste from InDesign to Photoshop

I'm trying to paste a vector element from InDesign into Photoshop. Until today this has always worked with my element showing up in Photoshop as a smart graphic. Now, all of a sudden, the paste option is Photoshop is grayed out after I copy from InDesign.
CS4, iMac, OS 10.5.8

No go. The fact that PS crashes on every single quit likely doesn't help.
Most of the crashes on quit are due to buggy third party plugins, though a few have been due to bugs in scanner or printer drivers.  Removing the defective plugin or driver solves the problem.
We have some other crashes on quit that crash deep in MacOS code -- and Apple is still investigating.

  • How can I change from indesign to Photoshop on a single app subscription

    I was recently doing magazine work which I am now no longer doing. Therefore, Photoshop would be a better fit to my needs than InDesign. Could I switch the single application subscription from one product to another? If so, how?

    Hi Dandalf1988
    There isn't an option to switch plans but if you sign up for a single app plan for Photoshop we can cancel your InDesign plan.
    Please get back to me when you've signed up and I can assist with the cancellation.
    Kind regards

  • CS3 & Leopard - can't copy/paste from InDesign Illustrator?

    I have just loaded Leopard and then CS3 onto my new MacBook Pro and then upgraded my existing iMac with another Leopard and the same CS3. Neither machine will allow me to copy/paste images or text boxes from InDesign > Illustrator - It appears to try to (shows the working color wheel - then nothing happens) It will allow me to select/copy the text WITHIN a text frame but will paste text only - not attributes????? I can copy /paste Illustrator >InDesign. also have no problem between Photoshop and either of InDesign or Illustrator?????? Have spoken to Adobe - they have no solution at this point and are 'getting back to me'.... Not a problem on Tiger/CS2 on iMac before upgrade. Appreciate your help!

    Possibly running out of ram since it needs to rasterize for photoshop. Save the ai file then let photoshop open it.

  • Is there a reason why I can't copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop

    Before the last update, I was able to copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop, and now I can't. Which really suck. Is there a new way I would have to do it?

    I'm not privy to what impact the latest update my have had, but I believe Photoshop still has "its own" clipboard, and there may still be a tendency under certain conditions for it to become inaccessible from/to the rest of the system. Reboot everything and try again.

  • Can i install CS3 Indesign and Photoshop on mac OSX10.8.4?

    Can i install CS3 Indesign and Photoshop on mac OSX10.8.4? Or do I have to update and can I purchase updates from Adobe? If I can, how much are they?

    Yes, should be no problem.
    According to the box that came with my copy of CS3 the requirements are "PowerPC G4 or G5 or multicore Intel processor, Mac OSX 10.4.8 or above.
    I loaded it onto my new Mac running Mountain Lion with no problems at all and it runs perfectly. InDesign used to crash occasionally under Tiger but has never crashed under Mountain Lion.

  • Copy & Paste From Illustrator to Photoshop not matching document size

    I just recently reformated my computer and I've been having an issue with copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop. Before I could copy a 2"x2" vector box from Illustrator into photoshop making a new document and the size and resolution would match. That is the new document would say 2"x2" at 300 ppi in photoshop and the preset would read "clipboard". I would then hit ok and paste and it would match perfectly. Now since I've reformated, photoshop always creates a new document with the wrong size regardless of the settings I enter in Illustrator or photoshop. I have document raster and effects set at 300 ppi in Illustrator and I have the new document set at 300 in photoshop, but it always transfers the 2"x2" box as some other size no matter what resolution I change it too. Again this used to work before so I'm assuming there is some setting I forgot about. Does anyone know? The main issue is the clipboard preset is not matching the document size, its almost as if Illustartor is telling photoshop it's a different resolution when it's not. Copying to 72 ppi seems to have no issue, which makes me think Illustrator just isn't sending it out at 300 ppi, but I don't know why as I have the document set at 300 ppi.

    Have you found an answer that wasn't posted here yet? I have the same issue.

  • Is it possible to preserve the layer name when I copy and paste from Illustrator into Photoshop?

    Is it possible to preserve the layer name when I copy and paste from Illustrator into Photoshop?
    At the moment it just appears as "Vector Smart Object" in Photoshop and I have to take another step and change the layer name.
    Thank you!

    Not that I know. PS doesn't care for these kinds of things and uses its own naming system.

  • If I'm copying text and/or vector elements from Indesign to Photoshop how come their pixel sizes change even though I opened the same sized document and my indesign file is a web file?

    If I'm copying text and/or vector elements from Indesign to Photoshop how come their pixel sizes change even though I opened the same sized document and my indesign file is a web file?

    >my indesign file is a web file
    Pardon?
    Or do you mean that, when you created a new document, you choose Web as intent maybe?

  • Running OS 10.6.8 on a 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3 Mac can I upgrade from Indesign CS5 to CS6?

    Running OS 10.6.8 on a 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3 Mac can I upgrade from Indesign CS5 to CS6?

    They do, but what happens when the client(s) move to CC? Of course doing
    so opens a new can of worms for you since 10.6.8 is unsupported for
    anything later than CS6.
    You should start budgeting for some upgrades sooner rather than later.

  • In InCopy, how can I paste from one InDesign table to another without also copying formatting?

    I'm attempting to paste information from one indesign document to another, but the styles are different. Pasting without formatting not working in a table. When I paste over, it retains the container style from the original table.
    I have "Text Only" selected from my Clipboard Handling preferences, so I'm not sure what else to do. I know I can hit escape to switch to the text selection instead of a container, but this only selects the text from one cell. I'd like to copy over the entire table, instead of copying cell by cell.
    How can I paste a table into another, without copying the formatting?

    Copy/Paste whole cells will always retain formatting.
    What you have to do is: Copy/Paste Without Formatting the text contents of the individual cell.
    You have to do that individually for each cell, if you want to copy over text of a whole table.
    A better approach would be to:
    1. Copy the whole table to Excel (or a different spread sheet application)
    2. Copy again from that
    3. Select one single cell and paste
    In that case "Text Only" should be selected from the Clipboard Handling Preferences.

  • Can no longer paste from InDesign into Keynote 4.

    One of the best things prior to Keynote 4 was the ability to copy from InDesign to Keynote. Now, Keynote just beeps rather than pasting in a pdf of what was copied. This is killing me, as it used to save lots of time moving content over for slides. Any work around for this? It is a huge loss.

    The last time I saw something like this was with Comic Life. In it's initial version, you couldn't copy anything out of it into any other app because the info it placed on the clipboard was not compatible with any other app (other than itself). They eventually updated the application so that it worked, so this is likely and inDesign problem.
    Can you copy/paste into Numbers or Pages or TextEdit?

  • Can't copy and paste from InDesign to Illustrator

    Recently changed computers and now I dont seem to be able to copy an object from InDesign and paste into Illustrator. This used to work fine. Any ideas? Thanks

    In my experience, copying and pasting from ID to Illustrator can be quite temperamental -- it often takes a couple of attempts to get it to work, for no apparent reason.
    But I don't recall ever being unable to do so, after a few tries.

  • Paste from Illustrator to Photoshop, I cannot see the pasted object

    Sorry for this dumb question but I have tried everything I can think of before asking this question.  I have a single grouped object in Illustrator and I select the object and "Copy".  Then I open up a new photoshop project and choose "Paste".  Then I get four questions:
    Smart Object, Pixles, Path and Shape Layer to choose from.  No matter which one I choose I get a large box with an X.  I cannot see the object just the box that is x'd out.  This must mean something but I cannot figure it out.  When I place it dissapears.
    Please what is the secret to pasting objects into Windows Photoshop CS4?
    Thanks, Brent

    Magically, pasting started working.  Maybe, my computer was running out of memory or something.
    Thanks for your helpful answer.

  • Pasting from Illustrator to Photoshop doesn't maintain aspect ratio

    I have vector artwork that is not aligned to a pixel grid in Illustrator. In CS5, I would be able to paste the vector object as a smart object into Photoshop file that was larger than the illustrator image and resize larger while holding shift to keep the ratio the same.
    However with Creative Cloud, if I have a square in Illustrator that happens to be 17.3px by 17.3, then paste to Photoshop in a file that has a larger canvas than the paste, I get uneven horizontal and vertical ratios (width = 18; height = 17). It seems to overestimate the width and make it appear fatter horizontally (which is the wrong aspect ratio). This is very noticeable when vector objects (like perfect circles and small icons) get scaled up in Photoshop.
    I have tried unchecking and checking "Snap Vector Tools and transforms to Pixel Grid" but this doesn't seem to fix it.
    The only way I've been able to get this ratio to be kept is to create a new document with the size automatically changed to clipboard dimensions (which are the desired 17x17). When you paste as smart object, it now uses the correct aspect ratio.

    When you paste an object into Photoshop take a look at your options bar to see if the Maintain Aspect Ratio button is checked. I'm guessing that it isn't which is why Illustrator objects are being pasted at different heights and widths. As you can see in the image below, a perfect circle from Illustrator is being placed in Photoshop at 100.05% and 99.44%. By checking the link button between the two percentages the numbers get locked to the same percentage so that the object is pasted in at the correct dimensions.
