Cannot Paste Image into Photoshop CS4

I've lost the consistent ability to paste images from otehr applications (e.g. screen captures or web browsers) into Photoshop.It doesn't seem to matter what the source application is (so a screen-cap utility versus alt+prtScrn makes no difference).
This is issue is plaguing the majority of artists in our game studio.
It's even happening on new, clean installations. It happens under both XP and Win7.
The problem is progressive -- it starts mildly, and gets worse over days and weeks (not just during a single session).
When Photoshop starts, you can always paste at least one external clipboard image into it. After some number of external pastes, however, PS will simply stop importing the contents of the external clipboard, and will just keep pasting its own internal clipboard over and over. The # of pastes keeps getting shorter and shorter as the problem progresses -- for myself and our art director, we can usually only paste ONCE and then have to restart Photoshop. Twenty times a day.
The "Edit->Purge" menu options are often greyed-out, so that's not an option for fixing.
Please Help!
thanks

There is a registry tweak that affects Photoshop's clipboard importation process.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Photoshop\11.0]
“AlwaysImportClipboard”=dword:00000001
Might be worth a try adding that value on your system.

  • Cannot paste image into Facebook's comment box

    I can do that in Chrome but not in Firefox. How can I fix this?

    Thanks. But that didn't help. I had up-to-date flash already. And while I can't paste image in Firefox, I can in Chrome (with the same version of flash.)
    Btw, just to make sure, I wasn't talking about "uploading photo" to Facebook, but "pasting image into comment or chat box"

  • Cannot paste images into Safari when composing emails

    For some reason, when I compose an email, either using gmail or yahoo mail, it will not let me paste an image from the clipboard into the body of the email.   However, if I use Chrome as a browser instead then it works perfectly fine.
    I've looked through the settings, but cannot find anything obvious that would help.
    I'm using Safari 8 on Yosemite.
    Any ideas anyone?  thanks!

    This seems to be an issue when using Office 2013 on a Windows 7 machine.
    After upgrading to Windows 8 the issue went away.

  • Can't copy from an ebay image/photo and paste into Photoshop CS4.....but Opera can?

    Can't copy from an ebay image/photo and paste into Photoshop CS4.....but Opera can?
    Problem is not win 7 or WinXP as your competitor "Opera" can do this.

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

  • Cannot paste text into a text layer in Photoshop

    Since a couple of days ago I cannot paste text into a photoshop text layer from any other source, like safari, word etc.
    I get an "popup error"-window in swedish (my language) saying something like "Could not complete the paste text command because the clipboard data was invalid or missing."
    Anyone having the same issue? Or maybe a fix on the problem? Of course i've tried restarting photoshop and also the computer. Running Mac OS X Yosemite and the latest Photoshop CC 2014.

    Well I can't paste any text into any DW document, file, blank, page name, nothing
    The paste command does not work in DW
    I have deleted corrupted cache
    I have tried Restore Preferences
    Nothing allows me to paste text in any format from any file format period.

  • Unable to load TIF images into Photoshop.

    CS4 (11.0.2) and Windows 7 Home Edition.
    Have developed a problem trying to load some TIF images into Photoshop. I have a large number of images archived over a decade or more. At this point it may some of the older files that exhibit the problem. Now all these files were edited and stored using the Photoshop versions during the complete time period. The files are always saved with no compression. Have tried to load from Photoshop and clicking on the file in a file list. Photoshop just hangs and I get the message Program not responding. I can take these same files and load them into the ROXIO photo editor with no problem. Stranger yet is if I simply load the file into the ROXIO editor then "save as" back into the same folder (overwrite) the file can then be brought into Photoshop with no problem! Any ideas?

    Noel,
    Will try to keep short.
    I reinstalled Photoshop CS4 from the cd CS set. Did not uninstall first. Restarted PC and Photoshop. Still failed the same way with a 3001 image.
    Did the following, changing one item in the Edit->Preference->GPU Setting. After each change, closed Photoshop, reopened, brought in 3001 image, restored original setting. 3001 failed each time.
    * Unchecked Enable OpenGL Drawing
    * Advanced setup: Unchecked Advanced Drawing.
    * Advanced setup: Unchecked Color Matching
    Next went to the Edit->Color Profile.
    Scanned thru options and saw in the Convert Options: Engine. It was set to Adobe (ACE). ACE was the module name in the error detail!
    Only other option for this is Microsoft ICM. Changed to that, close/open Photoshop and 3001 came in no problem. So did the Nikon 3000, srgb IEC 61922 2.1 and Untagged. However, when briging in an Adobe RGB(1998) image Photoshop notes Profile Mismatch. It allows me to decide what to do (use embedded profile instead of workspace; convert color to work space color; discard embedded profile. and I choose use the convert color and it loads ok. At least it loads the image! Will use this approach for now. I need to get educated on color profiles!!

  • How to copy objects from Pages (5.5.1) and paste it into Photoshop as a vector smart object with high resolution?

    I recently have bought a new Macbook Pro (Version 10.10.1) with the OS X Yosemite. The computer comes with the new Pages (version 5.5.1).
    Here is the problem: I like to create artwork using the shapes on Pages. Previously, on my old mac, I used Pages 4.3 to create objects, which I would copy then paste to Photoshop and it would become a vector smart object. However, in the new Pages (version 5.5.1), when I copy objects, they would appear on Photoshop as instead, a layer and it would not be in full resolution.
    Also, I know there is nothing wrong with the Pages file itself because I have converted the document to PDF form and it is high resolution when inserted into Photoshop that way.
    Does anyone know how I can copy individual objects from Pages (5.5.1) and paste it into Photoshop as a vector smart object with high resolution as I have done before?
    Thanks!

    copy the image and have it in a high-quality PNG format that does not include the background from the Pages document.
    Oh, well if you don't actually need vector objects then it looks like this is possible. As I said earlier, Pages is putting a PNG on the clipboard. I tested it and it does paste into Photoshop as a transparent layer, because I can see the transparent background of the pasted PNG graphic if I either turn off all layers behind it in Photoshop, or if I start a new Photoshop document to paste into but make sure I choose Transparent for the Background Contents in the New Document dialog.

  • Copy/paste images into pages within sharepoint online?

    Is there other way we can easily copy/past images into pages?
    Thx

    you cannot paste the images into sharepoint pages directly, Images cannot be rendered as HTML so cannot be pasted.
    You have to upload the images into SharePoint then insert it on the pages /places you want.
    or other work aorund buy the 3rd party tool which you mentioned.

  • How do i bring an image into photoshop?

    how do i bring an image into photoshop?

    Additionally, if you've copied an image from a website or other location, you can go to File > New and, for CS6, at least, the canvas will already be the dimensions of the image you have in your clipboard. So, once you start that new file, you can simply go to Edit > Paste (or hit cmd V) to drop in the image.
    Please let us know if we can assist you any further.

  • Memory Error when trying to paste art into PS CS4 vanishing point grid

    I get a memory error when trying to paste art into PS CS4 vanishing point grid.
    "Photoshop.exe application Error The instruction at 0x7755886b referenced memory at 0xffffffff. The memory could not be read. Click on OK to terminate the program"
    I have plenty RAM, HD space, and virtual RAM/Cache in PS prefs.
    Any suggestions?

    Try disabling the Aeros theme by selecting one of the Windows Classis Themes under desktop customization.  This seemed to fix the problem for me.

  • IDCS3 - Paste image into new frame with same cropping offsets?

    Anyone know if there's a better way do to this?<br />It used to work in CS2, and (I know this comment won't be popular, but since half the studio I'm trying to convert brings up this point, I'll pass it along <G>), it's always worked in Quark. <G><br />http://indesignsecrets.com/paste-image-into-new-frame-with-same-cropping-offsets.php<br />Be nice to get this to work without having to jump through hoops.<br />(And please, please don't tell me I need to update to CS4 to get this basic functionality BACK).<br />k.

    Thanks, Rob. Unfortunately, I got a new error with the latest script you posted (sorry--not trying to be a pest!!). It says,
    Apple Script Error!
    Error Number: -2753
    Error String: The variable myRend is not defined.
    (One thing that's different is I'm working on a different machine than I was the first day I posted about this, but I'm using the exact same version of InDesign. Would this make a difference? I forgot to copy the original script file from the other computer before coming to work today... If I need to do that, I can.)

  • I can't drag and drop an image into Photoshop CS5

    I don't know what's going on. I've never had this problem before.
    When I try to drag and image into photoshop I get the black circle with a black line through it
    I took of the administrative settings also. I've tried everything, I've uninstalled it then reinstalled it. Nothing. Please help.

    Well yes cleem any photoshop icon, or shortcut, whether its in your start menu, on you desktop....
    careful: this is tricky, if you right click the photoshop icon on your windows 7 taskbar, a new menu opens, you'll have to right click again on the "Photoshop cc" icon, in order to access properties.
    does this make it clear? did it work fine with you? let me know
