CS6 PSD Could not export the clipboard because it is too big to export

I have been getting the error "Could not export the clipboard because it is too big to export" since upgrading to CS6. The same files at the same bit depth on the same computer  do not cause this error in CS5.
In fact, I can open a file in CS5, copy it, and paste it into CS6 with no trouble. If I then copy again within CS6 and leave the program, I am given the error. (As a note, I have not run these programs simultaneously, except to run this test.)
This error appears regardless of whether Photoshop CS6 is running alone, or with several apps.
The Raw files are from a Canon 5D mark ii and tend to be 20-25MB in size,
I am running a Mac Pro 2.8GHz Quad Core Intel with 24GB of RAM. I have set the preferences to allocate 70% of this RAM, which should be sufficient. Changing the allocation to 90% or 100% has no effect, nor does adjusting the tiles configuration. My scratch disks have 130GB and 500GB free.
How do I correct this problem?

Hi, FYI, To duplicate a layer on top of itself, use Command+A, Command+J (jump the layer) if you need part of it, make a selection instead of a Command+A, this will also avoid the clipboard, and use Photoshop's scratch disk instead.
(I don't know why you run into that issue in CS6 and not in CS5, so I try to give you useful workarounds)
I'm not talking about bigger tiles, but of unlimited clipboard size that you find here for CS5: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4965
But are not listed here for CS6: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/plug-ins-photoshop-cs61.html#id_68969?PID=3350462
Maybe did you install it in CS5, but forgot all about it?

  • Help needed with "Time Machine could not complete the backup" because it is too large

    I'm receiving "Time Machine could not complete the backup" because it is too large for the backup disk. I have a 500 GB Time Capsule 802.11n (2nd Gen) and a MacBook Pro running on 10.6.8. I just replaced my laptop's original hard drive with a new 1 TB and restored that with what was on my Time Capsule. Now, I have no backups on my Time Capsule prior to the new hard drive. When I click get info on my hard drive, it states only 296 GB of the 1 TB is used. However, the Time Machine error message states that the backup requires 315 GB but only 221 GB are available. It has deleted all of my old backups, so I would think my Time Capsule should have plenty of room to backup the 296 GB on my computer. Is my old backup from my prior hard drive stuck on the Time Capsule and instead of Time Machine trying to just update those files, it is preserving the old hard drive backup separately and trying to make a new backup of my new hard drive using the remaining space? If so, how do I fix this? Any advice greatly appreciated.

    photoshop cs6 error "could not use the type tool because the target channel is hidden.  happens when im typing in photoshop, go to another layer and then come back. can't alter text at that point.  i really need to get thsi figured out. thank you.

    You may have answered my question. I AM using the 64bit version of Illustrator CS6. I had no idea there were bugs in it that affected paths copied and pasted from Illustrator to Photoshop.
    A bit more about what I'm trying to accomplish... I'm trying to follow Deke's tutorial (http://www.deke.com/content/dekes-techniques-018-creating-a-3d-pie-chart) which is already difficult since so much has changed between CS5.5 and 6, but then on top of that, I keep getting errors!
    So I created the pie chart exactly as he shows and copied and pasted into Photoshop exactly as he does. Before submitting this post, though, I tried drawing just two very simple triangle shapes, copying them both and pasting them into Photoshop as a shape layer. The shapes weren't overlapping, but they were a part of the same shape layer just like the pie chart tutorial.
    Thanks for your help. If there is anything else I should try before just giving up because of the 64bit bugs, please let me know.

  • Could not complete the command because of a problem using the Adobe Color Engine

    Hi all
    This bizarrely started this morning - completely out of the blue - and I've no idea why.
    Setup: Mac 10.8.2 / Creative Suite Premium PhotoShop CS5 extended (patched to 12.04)
    Am working on images exported from LightRoom 4 (16bit A3 Pro Photo RGB PSDs) in PhotoShop CS5.
    As part of my image grading process I have a PhotoShop Action that does the following: copy layer to new document (document respects all of copied layer settings) > Image > Adjustments > HDR toning > apply a certain HDR preset > copy to resultant image back to original doc > set opacity as 40%.
    Totally out of the blue, after having this action for about 2 months, this morning I start getting a warning dialog of "Could not complete the command because of a problem using the Adobe Color Engine" and the action fails. The failure seems to take place at the 'make document' part of the action and seems to somehow be related to the contents of the clipboard.
    I've tried trashing and re-creating the action. It works first time out fine and then - on the next image - errors again.
    At present I can only safely carry out the work 'manually' by completing all the actions myself.
    I can think of no settings that have changed and the OS hasn't been updated in a while.
    I have found one other thread on a similar problem in PhotoShop Elements, but no definitive solution.
    Any help appreciated as I have a shedload of stuff to process.
    Best wishes
    TP

    OK: trash of prefs didn't work. Tried thrice. Re-created orig action. same problem.
    BUT!
    Your 'Image > Duplicate' suggestion does seem to work. If I use that in a new action as the method for creating the HDR version doc (instead of 'Select > Copy > New > Paste), it seems to work.
    Will try that out this afternoon, but for now: WIN!
    Many thanks for the suggestion!

  • Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended Could not complete your request because of a program error.

    When starting Photoshop CS6 I get this error message, Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended  Could not complete your request because of a program error (-- OK --).  This happens on the main screen immediately.  Once I click OK the program seems to be alright.  But some part of it, that I haven't discovered yet, may not function properly.
    I am running Windows7 Professional Service Pack 1 64 bit with Intel i7-4770k CPU and 16 GIG Ram.
    This problem just started recently, everything has been fine up till now.  I must have done something when trying to defragment the Registry or get rid of temp files.
    I have uninstalled Photoshop CS6 and reinstalled it with no effect.  I have tried to run Photoshop CS6 32 bit in Safe Mode, but it will not run.  It hangs up on Reading Memory.
    Is there any kind log file that would tell me what is causing this to occur?
    Does anyone know what might cause this?
    Thank you in advance for any helpful information.

    Did you reset your Preferences and Photoshop tools.  Photoshop Preferences are not removed with an un-install and an Install does not install preferences.  Preferences are created  for a user id when a user ID start Photoshop  and there are no preferences for the user ID.    

  • Could not complete the command because of a program error

    I am running CS3 and for some reason, I get this error on many of the filter options. To reproduce:
    - load any picture - it does not matter what format I use
    - create a new layer by selecting the new layer icon at the bottom of the layers pallet
    - with the new layer selected, going to the menu item filter/blur/Gaussian Blur
    I have reset the preferences by pressing ctrl/alt/shift while bringing up Photoshop.
    I also have reinstalled (repaired) Photoshop.
    I've tried many different pictures with several formats (raw, .psd, .jpg) with no luck.
    Interestingly enough, the filter Lens Blur does come up with the screen.
    What am I doing wrong? This should not be rocket science.....
    Thanks,
    Steve

    "...create a new layer by selecting the new layer icon at the bottom of the layers pallet..."
    That produces a blank layer. With this blank layer selected, you should get the message "Could not complete the command because the selected area is blank".

  • Could not complete the command because of a problem using the Adobe Colour Engine??

    When I am playing back a set of recorded actions, I receive a message that says "Could not complete the command because of a problem using the Adobe Colour Engine". This occurs after I copy a part of an image to paste it onto a new file. It occurs during the "Make" part(making a new file) and I was just wondering how to fix it.

    It's a known (but esoteric) bug in Photoshop CS5 and earlier, seen with grayscale images.  It used to crash utterly, but after I reported it I think they patched Photoshop 12.0.something to avoid the crash.  However, the step still fails when you make a new grayscale image in an action.
    I saw it because I created an action to paste the clipboard into new document, all in one motion.  It virtually always works as long as I have a colored image in the clipboard.  But not grayscale.
    One workaround, which is not particularly convenient, is to turn on prompting for the Make new image step.  I haven't used this workaround for a while, but it used to be that if you confirmed the "File New" operation manually it would continue and work.  I don't know if the workaround is still valid.

    As I said the iTunes program on the computer.  You open iTunes on the computer and go to the View menue in the upper rightand then click on preferences. Go to Devices and delete the backup.

  • HT1414 I just got a replacement iPhone 5 (64MB) for one with a cracked face, and tried to restore it.  Got an error message saying the iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available on the iPhone.  Now what?

    I just replaced my iPhone 5 because of a cracked face.  I backed up the old phone to iTunes.  When I tried to restore my data off of iTunes to the new phone, I got an error message saying that iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available on the new iPhone.  Now what?
    I have Apple Care+, but I'll be darned if I can find any way to contact anyone at Apple to talk to about this.  They take your money, but make darned sure they don't have to support you unless you jump through a bunch of hoops first, like this site.

    I've done a restore.. The phone was completely wiped back to factory settings.. It then tells me there isn't enough space on the phone to restore from back up? How when the phone is empty?!

  • HT4972 After upgrading iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1.1 getting the error "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored" HELP!

    I attempted to upgrade my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1.1. I selected 'back up' from the phone in the device menu and iTunes confirmed that the phone had been backed up. I then installed iOS 5.1.1 which wiped everything on the phone & now I am getting the error "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored".
    I have tried restoring factory settings but iTunes simply will not restore from back up & I'm not sure what else to do!
    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    I have the same issue and I KNOW my backup IS good. What happen is when you try to restore your phone apple says something like can I check for new updates and if you choose no, it just takes you back to the restore screen and a loop from then on.  If you dont update from you phone then when you back up you will have the 5.0.1 back up and then when you update to 5.1.1 and then try to restore the backup from 5.0.1 it say it EITHER corrupt or incompatible.. It is incompatible and its hard as **** to restore back to 5.0.1. I followed the restore to a T and still getting errors. I lost all text history and have to reset up email. All just because I wanted a 1.2 Gigs of "other" space back.

  • Could not complete the command because the extension could not be loaded

    I was working in 3D with PS CS5 Extended. I went to the Window drop down menu and selected Color. I got the message "Could not complete the command because the extension could not be loaded" and the color pallet and swatches would not appear. I had to click on OK the error message three times to get rid of it as it kept reappearing. The the mini bridge and Brush pallets opened, including Brush Presets tab and Clone Source tab instead of the color pallets. How can I get my color pallets back?

    I unstalled Photoshop.  Then I installed on another drive.  External.  It did the same thing!!!!  No mini-bridge, or any extentions loading.  I don't know what is wrong.
    I read something somewhere about a Panels file in photoshop.  So I'm looking there.
