Copy/Paste in Photoshop CS6

No matter what I do, I cannot copy/paste in photoshop cs6.
I'm trying to copy a layer from one tab (project) to another. I've also trying dragging it but it just won't do it.
I've worked in CS5 and this has never been  problem. What am I doing wrong?

I jumped form CS2 to CS6, so I had this same problem. I am so used to dragging my layers in, and I didn't want to submit to the "duplicate layer" method.   Followed PECourtejioe's instructions too literally so my layer didn't copy! But then I inadvertantly figured out,  you must bring your pointer BACK DOWN into the screen/canvas and it will copy. DUH! (I was dragging to the tab and holding my pointer there to no avail!) It was then when I accidentally moved my mouse into the screen did I notice a little "+" sign.  Also, other forums make sense when they say, depending on where you point your pointer in the destination canvas, is where your image will land. Holding "shift" before you drop into the screen will center it!

  • Copy/Paste From Illustrator CS6 to Photoshop CS6 Issues

    Hi.
    When copying a gradient filled shape from illustrator CS6 to photoshop CS6 an outline "halo" appears in the photoshop image although the shape has no outline to begin with. Is this a clipboard issue? Is it an anti-aliasing setting I can change? Apparently it isn't as noticeable when I drag the shape from illustrator to photoshop as it is when using the copy/paste command. But in both situations there seem to be issues in the border when gradient filled shapes touch other shapes. Please help if you know how.
    Thank you.

    In Illustrator, try a blue shape underneath the butted-together rotated rectangles so seams do not become apparent when rasterized.

  • Can't copy/paste in photoshop since yesterday !

    (mac pro 6.1 / 3,5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5 / 32Go / OS 10.10.2)
    It was working fine and since yesterday (nothing special have been changed on my machine)... WTF ? Please Help, it's so boring to use text edit or thunderbird to paste in photoshop texte from any other app (sorry for my english)

    Copy and paste issues here too - started with trying to copy and paste between two photoshop files.  If I copy and paste from one file into another file, the pasted object turns transparent. If it manages to paste as opaque, then when I scale the pasted object it becomes transparent. The files don't have any masks and the pasted objects are at 100% opacity. Keep trying to figure out if I accidentally activated a keyboard shortcut for an effect, so far, no luck.

  • Why Can't I Copy/Paste Into Dreamweaver CS6?

    I am running Windows XP Professional w/ Service Pack 3 and I have Dreamweaver CS4 and CS6 installed. 
    When I work on sites in CS6 I find I'm having issues with copying and pasting.  It doesn't matter where I try to pull the information from, it won't paste into Dreamweaver CS6 (code view or design view). It seems to work fine in CS4, as well as every other application I try to paste to.
    I don't have CS4 and CS6 open simultaneously. I just kept CS4 because it had a bunch of info on other sites I need to transfer over, as well as testing CS6 before fully commiting to it.
    Any insight or help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I have this problem, too, and it's driving me f'n crazy, too!
    While I'm happy other forum members are offering to help by asking diagnostic questions, why grill us over what we have installed and what we can and can't do? This is a problem shared by many users. Why is the burden of "proof' on our shoulders? No offense meant, Nancy and Murray, but are you going to be able to resolve this bug? Unless you work at Adobe, I doubt it! It's not something WE are doing.
    I've been using Dreamweaver since version 1.0 in 1998 or so, and I've never had this problem. It seems like something that should be pretty basic to identify and fix. Shouldn't Adobe be on these forums asking what programs we have installed on our machines and what we can and can't do? What help is it if a fellow forum member asks these questions? Adobe is a major corporation that should be listening to our issues, especially if we're forking over $600 PER YEAR for Creative Cloud!
    This problem needs to be fixed, and it needs to be fixed now. I can't work like this!

  • App Crash when trying to copy paste on Illustrator CS6

    Hi,
    I'm using Illustrator CS6 16.0.0 on Window 7, lately whenever i'm trying to copy paste, program will immediately crash.
    Anyone can help?
    Thanks

    The first thing is to run the Updater to get your copy to 16.0.4 (which is the latest version for CS6) and then try again.

  • Slightly distorted aspect-ratio (and missing alpha channel) when copy/paste from Photoshop

    Maybe this is an old topic (but I didn't find anything on google or this forum):
    When I copy images from Photoshop to Flash, the aspect ratio of the bitmap gets distorted. A 728x90 Bitmap becomes 727.6x90 (and so on...). The dpi is set on exactly 72 on both programs. Is there any way to JUST get a 1:1 pixel copy? (except using another program like Irfanview as a "man-in-the-middle")
    Although I selected "32 bit color w/alpha" in the clipboard settings of Flash, the alpha channel seems to get discarded when copying from Photoshop. Shouldn't it at least work with Photoshop? I mean, it's an Adobe product after all and maybe the most commonly used together with Flash.
    Would just be nice if a copy-paste between PS and FL was an easier thing.
    I know there can also be a pixel-aspect somewhere (like used for video productions and wide-screen), but I didn't find settings for that anywhere.
    I still use Flash Professional CS5.0

    I'm on windows7 with CS5.5 and transparency and size are copied over just fine. You answered what would be my first question, 72dpi. How about the image mode. Are you using RGB 8bit?
    I've had lots of issues with the OS not handling transparency very well also, such right-click on an image on a website that you know is a PNG and has transparency, then paste it into photoshop, the transparency isn't saved.
    The route that always works (but is a PITA) is of course to save it as a PNG with transparency and just import it.

  • Can't Copy/Paste in Photoshop CC

    Hello,
    I am using Photshop CC for a few days now, but i can't copy, or cut something in photshop, and then paste it anywhere else.
    I can copy something from other programs like illustrator or word, and then paste it in photoshop, but cant copy or cut anything in photoshop.
    It's not a problem with my shortcuts, keys, keyboard or something like that, cause i can't even copy/cut from de toolbar...
    Help.. Please?

  • I can't paste in Photoshop CS6

    I'm probably missing something obvious, but I can't figure this out.
    I created a selection around a face in one photo, then copied it and tried to paste it into another photo, but it won'd paste no matter what I try.
    The photo I'm copying from is only one layer and I have the move tool selected when I copy.
    I even created a blank document to paste in that is the same size and resolution as the original photo, but it still won't paste into that either.
    What could cause this? And how do I get it to paste again?

    Hello I had almost the same problem and I just want to add that it's also necessary sometimes to delete the preferences first and also purge the clipboard.
    To delete preferences you have to close Photoshop, re-open and quickly, hold downs ctrl -alt-shift (windows)  and delete preferences from pop up window.
    Then purge the clipboard afterwards as well.
    thanks to Curt;Y for this solution

  • Copy & Paste in Photoshop Elements 9

    I want to use the heart cookie cutter and cut out just the part of the picture within the heart shape and paste it into a WORD document.  How do you do that? I am new to Photoshop Elements.  Using help didn't help.

    If your using the cookie cutter tool (not one of the shape tools) everything
    should be automatic except for saving the image.
    1. Select the cookie cutter tool and set the option to crop in the tool
        options bar.
    2. Select your shape and draw out the shape around your object of interest.
       You can use the handles on the corners of the bounding box to adjust the shape
       and then click the green check mark to finish.
       The checkboard pattern you see is just element's way of showing transparency
       and won't show in the photo in a program like word.
    3. Save as a PNG (File<Save As)

  • Bluish tint on screen when Photoshop CS6 running

    Hi!
    I just bought a MacBook Pro three weeks ago. I'm running Mountain Lion. Also, I have my copy of Adobe Photoshop CS6.
    Something very unusual is happening. I'm a Graphic Designer and currently doing an Interior Design major. I calibrated my monitor perfectly. But now, ever since I installed CS6, every time I open Photoshop, a bluish tint sets on the screen, affecting every program running (browsers, for example) and it's very annoying (not to mention it disrupts any color calibration I made to my monitor). The only solution to this problem is closing Photoshop (the problem persists even if I minimize Photoshop to use another program).
    I tried opening Illustrator and it works fine. Only with Photoshop this is happening.
    I searched on Apple discussion boards for similar cases and found nothing.
    What's interesting, I took screenshots to send them to a friend and the screenshots don't seem to be affected by this phenomenon.
    Have I gone crazy or someone here has an idea on this?
    Thank you!

    As I said in my post on the Apple board, my bluish tint problem when switching graphics cards eventually just went away - no idea why. And I tried recalibrating when I had the blue tint screen but do no avail.
    I can open Photoshop and use it with my Intel integrated card sometimes - PS itself doesn't seem to make the switch automatically. But when I open Bridge (which I use almost always) the discrete graphics card kicks in. My temporary solution was to use gfxCardStatus on discrete all of the time. And after a while, when I began switching to integrated while on battery, my problem vanished.
    But if you've a new MBP (mine's a late 2011 yet still under warranty until 2015) I'd take it back to the Apple Store and have them switch it out for another machine. The problem doesn't seem to crop up often (else there would be many more complaints) and it seems to be only on 2011 and 2012 machines. I don't think it's an Adobe problem at all as it happened to me when any app that uses discrete graphics would kick in (including Google Chrome).
    I didn't send in a bug report to Apple because I thought that the problem was only with my machine. Yours is only the fourth time I've heard of the dreaded blue tint occurring. Take your machine back to the Apple Store and show them the problem. Maybe they will have a better fix than just using gfxCardStatus.

  • Cannot copy and paste text into Photoshop CS6
