Copy-Pasting paths into Photoshop

I've made a vector-only AI file that I need to import into Photoshop. But when I press Ctrl-V in Photoshop, nothing happens. If I try to drag the path from Illustrator to Ps, I either get a message saying "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error [usBt]", or Illustrator will just crash immediately. In fact, sometimes the error message pops up as soon as I switch the window from Illy to Ps, before doing any paste operation.
I've tried playing around with different combinations of clipboard options in Illustrator, but nothing helped.
For now, apart from trying to resolve this error, I'm also looking for an alternative method to convert AI paths to Photoshop. Any help would be appreciated.

Additional info:
When Illustrator crashes on drag-drop, the last message it displayed was "Converting dragged items to EPS (AICB) format."
Also, I realized that my Illustrator can't save in PDF or EPS either; I get a "Can't save the illustration." message.
I've done a reinstall (Ps and I) but the problem persists.
I'm running CS3 Design Standard, with the latest updates AFAIK, on WinXP SP3.

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!

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.

Is there a way to copy/paste text in Photoshop without keeping formatting?

Is there a way to copy/paste text in Photoshop without keeping formatting (font, size, color, etc)?
I found this feature very annoying.
Is there a way to turn it off?
Thanks.

You can use this simple workariound:
copy the desired text and paste it in a simple text editor app like notepad (win) or textedit (mac).
Then copy this unformatted text and paste it in photohop.

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.

I made a video series on one time line and now want to copy paste sections into other tiemlines so I can separate the series into distinct videos to upload. How do I get new timelines? When I go to new event it asks for import footage.

You seem to be new to this software, so I highly recommend that you take some time to learn it using some great tutorials available online - it will pay off to invest the time, if you follow through, for example the great (and free) introductory tutorial at izzyvideo.com.
This is an amazing piece of software, and you'll have a lot to learn, but it's well worth it.

Copy/paste images into pages within sharepoint online?

There seems to be a workaround to use RadControl for this. (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/655c080f-ec1e-4e69-b082-d35973ee426a/copy-and-paste-for-images-in-sharepoint)
However, I don't think we can deploy custom app/binaries onto 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.
Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful,if this solves/helps your problem. ****************************************************************************************** Thanks -WS MCITP(SharePoint 2010, 2013) Blog: http://wscheema.com/blog

Hi garynguyen,
premise doesn't provide this kind of oob function to copy and paste the image into SharePoint page directly, you may develop your own solution (or use third party solution) to ahcieve this goal.
For Office365 SharePoint online question, we have a dedicated forum as below, you can post there for a better assistance with more experts regarding this Office365 issue.

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?

Trying to send copy/pasted content into a mass text message

I have composed a message (some copied and pasted from an online bible) (and also commentary that I add to it) and saved it as a draft in my yahoo email on my computer. I save it as a draft. I open the draft on my iPhone 4. Then copy/paste content into a text message to send to my congregation. Many of the recipients of the text get duplicate messages with no/or partial content. I have contacted my carrier and I am fully set up to send receive both sms and mms.
What could be the cause of this?
How can I fix it so that the receivers of my daily message get it properly?

When i create a message on my iPhone4 and save it into notes. it goes to my draft ( Mail ) on my computer. That tells me that there is no difference in where i create the message at. But between the copying and pasting i'm losing or something is being changed. Some of my friends are getting multiple messages and some are getting blank pages. We all have different carriers. ( T Mobile, Sprint,Verzion ) I'm waiting on another phone so i can use both of them to see if i can get my messages out

Importing a path into photoshop

I created a path in Photoshop CS6 and exported it as a "Paths to Illustrator" vector file to the desktop. Now I want to import the path into another PS file. How do I do this?
I cannot copy and paste the path as I no longer have the original file that was used to create the path. This seems to be a simple task that I'm sure used to be easily done by importing the path in older versions of PS.
Thx

Photoshop Is not a file editor. You can add path to a photoshop document several ways. When you have the path in one open document you can Create a custom shape and then use the shape path in any document using the custom shape tool. You can drag a path for one document's path palette and drop it onto an other open document. You can insert the path into an action step and that step will inset the path into documents the action is used on. You can save custom shapes and action with insert path steps a copy the saved file onto other machines and load them into Photoshop.. When you save Open documents that have path some file formats support paths and will save paths in the saved image file. When those file are opened in Photoshop the path will be in the open documents paths palette.
I have never used illustrator however if you have the AI file and illustrator there may be a way to open the .AI file in illustrator export the path to Photoshop, It may have an export path to Photoshop or perhaps you can drag and drop between applications. However I don't know all I know is Photoshop has a menu File>Export Path to Illustrator. However the is no menu File>Import Paths from illustrator. When I use menu File>Export Path To Illustrator Photoshop saves a *.ai file. If I drop the file on Photoshop Photoshop want to open it a s rasterized ESP document in CMYKt and there is no Path in the paths palette.

Problem pasting picture into Photoshop

Yesterday, I went into Google images and copied pics and then used the paste option in Photoshop.
Today, when I select a picture in Google, select Select All and Copy and then go into Photoshop the Paste option does not seem to be available. I am not sure if I have turned something on or locked something in Photoshop.
Can anyone help. Please be specific re: icons or options I need to select because I am very new with Photoshop and don't know what most mean.
Thanks so much.
Darlene

I was able to copy pictures in Google yesterday and paste with no problem. I need to do a search to find something in Google and then when I find it, I open the picture up large and then copy it.
I then go into Photoshop and paste it but again this is not working today.

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.

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.
