Copying between layers.

When I try to copy and paste an image from one layer to another layer in the same document, I receive the following error:
"Cannot paste or place onto locked or hidden layers. Do you want to unlock and show all affected layers in order to paste?"
Now, I do not have any layers locked.
What I do have is the original layer hidden. For whatever reason, I don't seem to be able to paste into any layer other than the one I've copied from. I don't believe I have had this problem in the past.
Any ideas?

I believe I am.
The new layer is selected. But no matter what I do it keeps trying to paste to the old layer (the layer from which the copied material derived).
In fact, I've even selected items in the new layer and hit paste inside... but again, no luck.

  • 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!

    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.

  • JPEG/PSD issue--I open a jpeg and edit it (levels, crop) and then "save as" and the save as option shows there are now levels in the image and it wants to save it as a .psd file or a copy with layers.  What am I doing that has these settings appear?

    16bit? Pixels extending beyond the canvas? (from a crop with delete unused pixels turn off).  Have you previously been saving PSD files?
    IME you sometimes have to tell Photoshop that the first save of a session is JPG, and it remembers from there on.  The way to 'tell' Photoshop that JPG, or PDF, or PNG etc are now your preferred format is to Ctrl (Cmd) click on that format in the Save As drop down list.  So long as the file does not have parameters that your chosen format does not support, then this should work for you.
    [EDIT]  Just noticed that you did include 'Crop' in the subject line.  Do you have 'Delete cropped pixels' checked?

  • Client Copy between unicode system and non-unicode system

    Hello,
    we have to build up a new system for japan. It is planned to install a new 4.7Ext200 unicode system and then make a client copy from a non-unicode 4.7Ext200 (language= german, english) system to the unicode system. I don't think that this is possible way, but I can't find information regarding client copies from non-unicode to unicode. I would advice the project to convert the existing non-unicode system to unicode, make a system copy for the new system and then install japan languages. Any information, which can help me.
    Regards,
    Alexander

    Hi,
    without conversion client copy is not possible

  • Copy between applications

    I am currently using the 30 day free trial of iWork. I use Excel in a specific way that is crucial to my business. I don't do much of anything fancy, but need the following functionality:
    I use spreadsheets in Excel which I then I copy (using either the Copy command or the Camera tool), switch applications to VectorWorks, and paste into my main project document. Excel copies all of the elements of my selection, and the resulting paste into VectorWorks consists of lines and text complete with formatting (font, size, bold, italic, etc). When I attempt the same action in Numbers, the resulting paste into VectorWorks is a Bitmap image. Is there any way to copy and paste between Numbers and VectorWorks in the same manner as I currently work with Excel and VectorWorks? I would love to be able to get away from Microsoft, but if I can't copy between applications, Numbers is of no use to me.

    Hello
    I met this kind of problem.
    My workaround is to paste in TextEdit then copy and Paste into the final destination.
    It's a bit cumbersome but it works.
    Perhaps Apple guys will edit the way they treat the clipboard.
    They don't normalize it when pasting from Numbers to Pages or Keynote, so we get formulas or some other odd results.
    Your problem with VectorWorks let me think that the way they "normalize" the clipboard when leaving iWork apps is not perfectly correct.
    It seems that a range of cells must be passed as a TAB delimited block of values which may be pasted in a tool like VectorWorks.

  • Client Copy between Two Different Systems

    Hi!!
    Could someone please explain or provide any documentation which explains how to perform client copy between two r/3 systems of same version(ecc 6.0)
    Thanks and Regards,
    Vishwa.

    Hi,
    Save the contents that need to be copied in a Transport request at source client.
    Now at the target client system,
    execute transaction 'SCC1' and give the TR number and execute it.
    The changes from the source client system this way will get copied to destination client system.
    Reward if useful!
    Thanks,

  • Switch between layers in a BEx MAP

    Hi,
       Does anyone have an idea how to switch between layers in a BEx Map? And manipulate the attributes on the MAP in WAD. I ever saw a demo of such a web template which could do that.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    here is some javascript which might be useful in your case
    function create_checkbox(mapitem) {
       var prop = SAPBWGetItemProp(mapitem);
       if (prop != null){
          map_panel_html = "<form name="map_panel_input">";
             for(k=1;k<prop.length;k++){
                if (prop[k][0].substr(0,7) == "SUBITEM") {
                              prop2=SAPBWGetItemProp(prop[k][1]);
                              hidden = true;
                              if (prop2 != null) {
                                           for(l=1;l<prop.length;l++){
                                                  if (prop2[l][0] == "HIDDEN") {
                                                        hidden = (prop2[l][1] == "X");
                              map_panel_html = map_panel_html +

                            map_panel_html = map_panel_html + "> "+ prop[k][1] +"<br>"    ;
         map_panel_html = map_panel_html + "</form>";
        document.getElementById("map_panel").innerHTML = map_panel_html;          
    function change_map_layer(maplayer, show) {
       if (show) {
          location.href="<SAP_BW_URL>" + "&item=" + maplayer + "&hidden="
       else {
          location.href="<SAP_BW_URL>" + "&item=" + maplayer + "&hidden=X"
    Just add additional a
    <div id="map_panel"></div>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
       create_checkbox("MAP_1")
    -->
    </script>
    in your Web Template and  replace MAP_1 with your web item name.
    This code will check the map for its layers and you can show or hide them.

  • Data Copy between entities

    Hi all,
    I have an issue in data copy between entities and scenarios.
    I have the raw data in entities 1,2,3 etc and Scenario A. I need to copy this data to entities 4,5,6 and Scenario B.
    S#A.E#1 = S#B.E#4
    S#A.E#2 = S#B.E#5
    S#A.E#3 = S#B.E#6
    When i do this using HS.EXP..I get and error message saying that "Invalid destination specified"
    But it is invalid to use Entity on the LHS of HS.EXP...How do i go about solving this problem?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Ramith

    Ramith
    You would need to do something like the following to get around this as you can specify items outside of the current subcube on the left side of the rules
    If HS.Scenario.Member = "A" Then
    If HS.Entity.Member ="2" Then
    hs.exp = "A#ALL = S#B.E#4"
    End if
    End If

  • Move/Copy between Libraries failing

    SP13 user attempted to move/copy between identical libraries and failed and they had design rights and the process failed.  I read need Full Control so I granted user Full Control to the both Libraries.  In fact I added them to an AD group that
    has full control for the site.
    Initial comment with Designer Rights
    I am attempting to move all the files & metadata from ‘HR Photo Library’ to ‘Employee Photo Library’.
    Both Libraries are the same & contain 1 special column.
    I have access to the Site Setting Management area where the ‘Move’ action is done.
    But when I attempt to Actions> Move> Employee Photo Library> Ok, I then get a Prompt
    “Inadequate permissions to ‘Employee Photo Library’ to complete this operation. Choose a different target.”
    They indicate still fails with following comment when they have full control rights
    When I Move/Copy, the columns are updated in the destination library, but the files fail to be transferred.
    Failures happen when moving items from:
    Same Site: Picture Lib > Pic Library
    Same Site: Document Lib > Document Library
    Same Site: Picture Lib > Document Library
    Cross Site: Picture Lib > Pic Library
    Cross Site: Document Lib > Document Library
    ANY IDEAS?

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that it failed when you moved/copied documents from one library to another with full control via Content and Strucutre feature.
    As you said you added the users via AD groups, please add the users into the SharePoint site owners group, compare the result.
    And in your reply, whether you meant the site administrator can move the actions.

  • Can't copy between Classic and OS X

    Hi,
    i carbon copied a OS 10.4 installation to a new disk, then copied an os 9 folder to that same disk in the root directory. Now i get an error message that i can't copy between classic and os x, an error message that keeps on appearing.
    Both the os x.4 and the classic version worked before on that same mac, but on different disks... any chance why this won't work anymore??
    G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Hi Peter. Welcome to the Forum…
    Please give the exact wording of the error message, and a brief description of the circumstances.
    How many disks were involved in copying OS 10.4 to a new disk, please? It can work but it's not reliable to clone from the boot volume, so you should really do that only with a third disk to boot from…
    Are there no other symptoms? Everything but copying works fine?

  • Cant move items between layers CS6

    I cant move items between layers in CS6.
    The items are not locked
    The items are not in groups
    The layers are all unlocked
    I select the item I want to move then try and move the item to the layer above (or below) with the "dot" on the right side of the layers pallete and nothing happens!
    Please help? What am I doing wrong?
    Suggestions please
    Andrew

    true. the <path> was in the toplayer and came from a sublayer. see screens.
    I now discovered that with the option 'show layers only' off, I can also move objects from a toplyaer into a sublayer in CS5! great!
    by showing the <path> you can drag that into a sublayer. this couldn't be done by selecting the object when it was 'invisible' (as a <path> 'layer') by grabbing the colored square from the top layer into a sublayer (gave a 'no entry' sign).
    thing is that in CS6 if the option 'show layers only' is selected, you cannot drag anything anymore...
    so there is an extra restriction, rendering the "show layers only" option useless as working mode.
    Why?
