PSE9/Win 7: Edit/Copy does a Cut?

I'm running PSE 9 on Windows 7.
I must have forgotten how to do a copy/paste.
Here is what I did:
m - to select a rectangular area
Edit/Copy - to make a copy of the contents of the Selection
Click on the Move Tool.
When I start to move my selection I see that my original selection area is gone.
I've also tried doing a Ctrl+t after the Edit/Copy.
I get the same results. I can move my selection. But my original area is cut out.
My circumvention is to do a Ctrl-v after selecting the Move tool.
That seems to copy my selection back to where it started.
Then I can manipulate the copy.
Thanks for any help. I don't know how I managed to forget how to do this.

Copying the selection simply places it on the system Clipboard. That copy is unavailable for any purpose until it is pasted somewhere, as you found when doing Ctrl+V, or as 99jon described pasting it in on its own layer.

If your using File>Place then photoshop cs2 creates what's known as Smart Objects, which photoshop 7 didn't have.
In photoshop cs2 you can rasterize the smart objects and that should make the Cut function available.
Select both placed layers, right click on the area to the right of the tumbnail and select Rasterize Layers.
If in photoshop cs2 you to Help>Photoshop Help and look under Layers>Smart Objects, that should give you a good overview of what smart objects are.

Photoshop CS5/Lightroom 3 integration issue - "Edit Copy with Lightroom Adjustments" does not work

When clicking "Edit Copy with Lightoomroom Adjustments" from Lightroom, I get an error in Lightroom 3 complaining that the Camera Raw plug-in is not up to date; full message below.
"This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 6.1 for full compatibility.
Camera Raw version 4.6 is the latest version available for Photoshop CS3. If raw file support for your camera was introduced after Camera Raw 4.6, the Photoshop integration features in Lightroom require Photoshop CS4 and the latest Camera Raw version 5 plug-in.
The version of Camera Raw plug-in currently installed is 0.0."
After I click "Open Anyways", Photoshop CS5 is initiated but it seems to have lost context of why it is opened and asks me what file I want to open (i.e. the Open As dialog).
"Edit Copy" and "Edit Original" from Lightroom 3 works as expected and opens images fine in Photoshop, CS5 however.
My installation is on Windows 7. I currently also have Lightroom 1.4 and Photoshop CS3 installed. Everything worked fine with the old configuration. I also tried the same workflow in Lightroom 1.4 again just now, which is now linked to CS5 instead of CS3. The "Edit Copy with Lightroom Adjustments" also work just fine.
Things that I have tried but do not worked:
I did an Update via the Help -> Update menu, and also manually downloaded the Camera Raw 6.1 plug-in.
Blew away the Photoshop preferences file
Made sure that Lightroom 3 points to Photoshop for editor
I'm thinking that I'll try uninstall CS3 next. Anyone else encountered this issue?

[CS5.1 (12.1) ACR 6.5RC / LR 3.5RC; MacbookPro 4gb Leopard 10.5.8 ] As a Lightroom instructor, up until now this has been a vexxing problem to explain to my students. Even if ACR in Photoshop is up to date (I just downloaded 6.5RC and installed the PS Plugin), I still get the error when attempting to edit from Lightroom 3.5RC. I deleted the PS prefs file to no avail. I was not willing to re-install Photoshop as a solution (per some blog's suggestion), although that might be the ultimate answer. But what an ordeal if so!
For a solution, I went back to a resolution I devised when I had a CS3 compatibility problem with LR3. I went into the Preferences of Lightroom and manually chose the Photoshop app as the "custom" image editor. I went back to edit the file in PS from Lightroom and the ACR error disappeared. Try it. Yes, this means you need to use the Custom editor as your image editor, but it seems to have resolved the issue.

Parts of the edit menu are not functioning: copy, paste, redo, cut, delete

How can I restore copy, paste, redo, cut, delete on my menu toolbar?

I have a copy of Final Cut Express 2. Can I get a current upgrade instead of repurchasing the new Final Cut Pro?

I have a old copy of Final Cut Express 2 that I never installed. Can I get a current upgrade instead of repurchasing the new Final Cut Pro?
The Apple Store does not show does not contain purchase information of the old unused Final Cut Express. What can I do to register Final Cut Express 2 will not operate in the current OS systems on my iMac. It only is compatible with the G3 or G5.

CS-5 Crashes when Edit / copy are used for pasting a new selection

Good morning,
I have downloaded CS5-Extended onto my PC as an upgrade to elements premiere 8. I still have the entire elements suite on my PC and functioning. The PC is a new Dell 4 core with windows 7, six G of RAM, and lots of HD space.
CS-55 works fine but has one very serious problem that seems to be a regular (several tests produce the same result) occurrance.
Selecting "edit" then "copy" when a selection is completely ready for copy/paste to a new layer freezes the entire program. No controls will do anything to the program no matter how long or what buttons are pushed. The PC stil works however with other programs which surprises me (I'm very computer literate).
The only method that I can find to close and "fix" the problem with CS5 after a crash is to completely shut down the entire PC and force a shutdown at that time (to get the PC to log off and shut down).
The real difficulty now occurs on re-starting the PC. The system seems to completely fill RAM on a re-start which makes the entire PC slow and almost non-responsive. This took some experimenting to "figure out." Starting regular office programs (Word, excel, etc) takes very long, and I get an intermittent "program not responding" display during the program start.
When started, the program(s) are extremely sluggish, and mouse pointers are not linear movement but "bounce" from place to place on the screen.
I considered doing a system restore to place the system back to a state before CS5 installation, but did more experimenting before this (in order to preserve the downloaded trial version of CS5 before my (already purchased) box arrives in the mail.
When starting CS-5 (after a crash and restart), it takes over a minute to start and does not respond well at all once started. When trying to open the previous file then "closing all files" the system seems to "unlock" all RAM and places the entire PC back to normal function.
This is a continuous problem affecting my system and all stems from an "edit / copy" set of commands.
Please help with this one. This problem is obviously a serious one and cannot continue with my set up.
My e-mail address is [email protected].
Thanks for the help; any other information you need to help diagnose this situation for a repair.
regards,
Peter 1269

Chris,
Thanks for the fast response. In answer to your questions, I’m using the 64 bit version of the CS-5 software. I have not received any bad “news” or reports about “bad ram.” This from IOLO system mechanic 10, and windows performance itself.
Let me try task manager / performance both before any Photoshop use, and after a crash. I’ll also get some information from system mechanic and any other sources that I can come up with.
I’m not sure why this crash happens after an “edit / paste” sequence and (possibly) not anything else. I just did however find the program crash under these circumstances:
Photoshop running with a (7mg picture loaded). Turn on elements organizer with a 35,000 picture catalog that I’ve been using in elements 7 and 8 (and premiere 8 ). Turn off organizer and return to Photoshop only to find that Photoshop is now frozen with a dual vertical arrow instead of a mouse pointer. No action will recover the program at this point.
Question:
Will my “preferences” in photoshop set to a very high ram allowance affect crashes in the program? What other preferences settings might be causing a problem.
I can talk to Dell tech support if need be as this PC is only 4 months old.
Thanks for ongoing help,
Peter1269

My photo does show up when I click on "edit copy" or "edit original".
How can I correct that so that I can open up a photo from Lightroom WITH the Lightroom adjustments? Thanks!

I'm having a similar problem, but only with jpg's. I have PS CS6, CC, and CC 2014. Other image file formats function normally with regard to the "open with" list. PS CC 2014 appears on the list. But with jpg's only PS CC appears on the "open with" list and 2014 can't be added by the browsing for it.
The curious thing is that if I have any of the three versions of Photoshop open, click on Photoshop CC in the "open with" list, the image opens in whatever version is already open on my computer. This is true of all image formats. No matter which version I pick from the "open with" list it opens in the currently running program. I use only the latest version so keeping it open all the time is an easy work around. I won't uninstall any of the earlier versions lest more file association quirks result. it would be nice to have this matter fixed.

Students splitting a Copy of Final Cut Pro

Hello, I am a film student, and was wondering the legal bits about splitting a used copy of final cut studio. As I am a student (student = little money) it is one of the only ways to get my hands on a copy for my self.
Thanks,

"And even though we didn't have much money (being students), stealing them was not considered okay..."
Ah - i'm certainly not advocating "stealing" - which is very very wrong. I'm answering more the post about getting license keys - purchase - for earlier copies of FCP - which I did read about a long long time ago on the forum - hence my comment. That's why I put BB.
Students are a rare breed of 'other folk' when innovation today - is the artist of tomorrow yadee yadee ya. However doing it the correct way is the only way.

Nikon D90 footage: Can you edit natively in Final Cut?

Just wondering if anyone has been using the new Nikon D90 to shoot video, and then importing the footage natively into FCP6. The camera's video-recording format, from what I have read, is 720p24, an .avi file, and a Motion JPEG codec.
I see that in the settings for a Final Cut sequence, you can choose 1280X720 frame size, a true 24 frames per second rate, and either a Motion JPEG A or Motion JPEG B compressor. It seems like with these settings, you could put your footage into the timeline and not have to render it before editing . . . unless the .avi file format goofs it up. Can you edit .avi in Final Cut natively, or do you have to use a Quicktime file?
Any workflow advice much appreciated,
Jim

No, sorry to say, I do not own the camera. And in looking around the web for an original, as-shot-by-the-D90 clip to experiment with, the only ones I found were at this site:
http://www.dpreview.com/news/0809/08090101nikond90samplegallery.asp
They were billed as: D90 sample movie 1 • original .AVI format • 21 seconds, 35.7 MB
and: D90 sample movie 3 • original .AVI format • 9 seconds, 24.5 MB
So I downloaded them, imported them into Final Cut, and they showed up with settings in the browser of: 1280X720 and 24 fps (so far so good) but then a compressor setting of "Apple OpenDML JPEG" rather than what I was expecting, Motion JPEG, which is what the D90 spec is. If the clip was truly "original .AVI format," I would have expected the compressor setting to be Motion JPEG.
Then, when I tried to change the sequence settings to Apple OpenDML JPEG, I found that there is no such setting. My thought was if the size, 1280X720, the frame rate, 24, and the compressor settings all matched, you could edit natively. And when I dragged the clip into the timeline, it did not give me a dialogue box asking if I would like the sequence settings to match the clip, the way it does with some footage.
Yes, you can render the clip and then edit it, but it would be great to avoid that step. Anyway, I got the red bar in the timeline with every combination of sequence compressor settings I tried, maybe 10 of them.
So maybe the answer is some time is needed for Final Cut to support the D90's Motion JPEG files natively, though I believe that is an older codec. Too bad the D90 does not record in something like DVCPRO HD. For a $1000 camera, the image quality looks pretty good, and the shallow depth of field really turned my head. I was thinking it might be a cheap Red Rock or Letus killer.
Thanks for the input,
Jim

Does final cut express have the functionality like macromedia flash 8?

does final cut express have the functionality like macromedia flash 8? I'm looking to compile my movie for easy viewing on the internet

In the interest of not appearing like a total idiot
The link of my 3-minute video of Native American Indian dancing (above) has been changed to: http://www.goliveusa.com/MoviesFlv/PowWow.html
where it should remain for at least the next two years.
Part of this change has to do with a discontent with .Mac, thought that is certainly a topic for another forum.
Since back here at this thread, and considering the initial forum topic, I'd guess it would be appropriate to ask: "What is meant by the term: functionality?"
FCE is a a video editing program. Flash 8 is graphic animation program.
You can incorporate video into Flash 8 and do extra animation with it.

Does Final Cut Express 4 Read Clips From an External NAS Drive?

After upgrading from iMovie 08 to 09 I have found out through these pages that iMovie no longer supports reading clips from and writing them to my external wireless drive (via the Events library). The question for this forum - does Final Cut Express 4 have the same issue?
Just to anticipate a couple of points - I do not intend to use my external hard drive for 'in line' editing, it is merely a repository for excess clips that my hard drive cannot accommodate. I understand this kind of arrangement is slower than Firewire 800 but it is what I have and I want it to work.

FCE has nothing to do with how you archive your media as long as it's not used for playback within the application. The only issue might be how the drive is formatted. For large media files it really needs to be formatted in Mac OS Extended.

Does final cut pro work on Macbook air.

Does final cut pro work on Macbook air.
I know it works fine on my Macbook Pro, but considering getting an Air for travelling, and like to import and do some basic editing while away.
Used to have a Macbook, and FCP wouldn't load on that.
Understand the Air's limitations on disk size, but only wanting it as a travelling editor.
Thanks

"Traveling editor" could imply dedicated offlining. Shane, do you think that could work with a low rez ProRes codec?
I don't think anyone has tried to use an AirBook for FCP. Anyone bother to search?
