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

Why can't I access photoshop cs6 on my computer?

Details: I launch the program and it prompts me to sign into my adobe account. I click "sign in," and then it loads for awhile. It then displays an error message specifying that I am not connected to the internet or that my pc's clock is not properly synched. I reset my internet connection and synched my clock , but to no avail. The same error message is displayed every time. Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

Hey Pete,
I'm using Windows 7 and I don't think I have any firewalls. But it has recently come to my attention that before my brother gave me this computer, he installed Clock Stopper to extend free trial programs. It's since been uninstalled, but could that program have messed up my clock permanently?
Thanks

What OS are you using? Do you have any firewalls that you could potentially disable while loading this screen?

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!

I have downloaded Photoshop CC. Can I remove now Photoshop CS6 from my computer

I have downloaded Photoshop CC. Can I remove now Photoshop CS6 from my computer.

Hi there,
You can have both Adobe Photoshop CC and Adobe Photoshop CS6 on the same system and both will work fine.
In case you need to remove photoshop CS6 from your system, you will first have to deactivate it so save the activation count which you can use it for the future to reactivate.
Activation:
Make sure that your computer is connected to the Internet.
Start the application.
Choose Help > Deactivate and choose one of the following options.
Deactivate or Suspend Activation. These options deactivate the software but retain licensing information. Choose one of these options if you want to temporarily deactivate the software, and you're planning to activate on this computer again.
Deactivate permanently. This option deactivates the software and removes the licensing information from your computer. Enter the serial number again if you want to use the software on this computer.
Deactivation:
CS6: You log in with your Adobe ID to activate your software when you install it or within the first seven days of use. Follow the steps below.
Steps:
Make sure that your computer is connected to the Internet.
Start the application.
Choose Help > Activate. (If this option is dimmed, you've already activated your software)
Log in with your Adobe ID (usually your email address) to activate your software. If you don’t have an Adobe ID, you see an option to create one.
Optional (CS5 & earlier): After you activate, also register your Adobe product for faster and easier access to support and upgrades.
If you need the free download link for CS6, you can visit [ http://www.adobe.com/downloads/other-downloads.html ]
Thank you

Can you cancel Adobe Photoshop CS6 from one computer and put it on another?

Can you cancel Adobe Photoshop CS6 from one computer and put it on another computer?

Yes. You have to deactivate it on one computer and then you can install it and activate it on another. Technically, your license allows you to have Photoshop CS6 installed and activated on two computers, you just can't use both at the same time.

Two hours still can't scan with photoshop cs6

two hours still can't scan with photoshop cs6 any ideas?

Hi,
Thanks for responding. Windows Vista - installed Flash Player 11 - no change -
updated all drives on HP PSC 2355 scanner - no change - added twain 24 bit
because read that 48 was not compatible with cs6 - no change.
Basically, when I go file - import - I should see the option WIA -HP PSC 2350
and it is not there which tells me my scanner is not integrated with cs6 as it
was with cs3.
Any ideas?
Richard

I can't print with Photoshop cs6.

I can't print with Photoshop (CS6). My printer (HP iP6700D) works correct with every program, except Photoshop. When I choose File>Print, there appears only an error-message. And the command-line turns into grey.

In the meanwhile I detected the problem. I made a new user account in windows and now it works correctly. So it isn't a photoshop problem but probably a register error. I have to find out furtherThanks for your reaction.

When I go to buy my Mac at the Apple Store, can they program Adobe Photoshop CS6 on it while I am there?

When I go to buy my Mac at the Apple Store, can they program Adobe Photoshop CS6 on it while I am there?

The online Apple store may offer to pre-load a version of CS6 for you, for the cost of the software package plus a few days set-up delay in shipping your Mac to you.
The bricks and mortar stores do not sell software. It gets stale too fast.

Can you download adobe photoshop CS6 and use it on a Ipad?

I want to know if I can download Adobe Photoshop CS6 and use the program to edit photographs on my ipad?

Only free or purchased apps from the iTunes store can be used on Apple's iDevices. Will iPhoto do what you want? There are other photo editing apps in the iTunes store.
 Cheers, Tom
Look at these apps.

I can't set the photoshop CS6 as a default program to open jpg file on my windows 7 64bit computer?

I reintalled 3 times for CS6 but the default program associated with jpg file still is unknown application.
I try to change the default program, I can see the photoshop cs6 icon at the Adobe program folder.
But just can be selected.

I would recommend contacting Adobe Tech Support for this as playing with registry is quite dangerous , your computer may crash.
Still if you want to try , first create the System Restore point and Backup your Registry , just incase something goes wrong.
In regedit: Navigate to Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications and find your .exe name.
Navigate under its name to shell>open>command. In the Default change its location to the actual location of the executable, hit okay and then try and reassociate the file type as you normally would.
