Trouble Pasting into Photoshop CS3

I have just switched to using Mac OS X ver. 10.54 on a 2.4 GHz Intel Macbook with 4 Gb of ram and am trying a trial version of CS3. I am having trouble pasting images copied (either command c or right clicking) from either Powerpoint or Corel Draw 11.
I can copy the images and paste them withing the respective programs but when I command tab to PS and make a new blank image (with custom dimensions) the dimensions do not correspond to the image I copied and it cannot be pasted either by shortcut or by using drop down menus (greyed out).
To make this more frustrating, I can take the offending powerpoint and/or corel draw files into windows xp (on an old dell) and freely copy and paste using adobe photoshop 7.0. However, when I installed PS 7.0 a using Parallels on my Macbook, the problem arises again.
My guess is that it has something to do with Leopard although a google search revealed that while a few people are having this problem, mostly when they try to printscreen and past into PS, the majority do not have this issue.
Any help or insight on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for your reply Neil,
I was just using printscreen as the only example I could find of people having a similar problem, usually in Vista.
The file formats in question are either .jpeg and .tif that have been imported and in other instances dragged and dropped into either powerpoint or corel draw.
The only possible theory is that somehow the way Leopard has files on the clipboard/pasteboard and how PS sees that data. Clearing the clipboard/pasteboard in terminal did not fix the problem either.
Just curious if you have a similar set up that is working fine?

Windows Clipboard won't paste in Photoshop CS3

The subject pretty much covers it. If I do a print screen and then do a paste into Photoshop CS3 it doesn't paste the image from the clipboard. I can paste it into Windows Paint, just fine, but if I try to copy from that and into Photoshop it also doesn't work. Anyone else having this problem? I do screen grabs all the time, so this could be serious.

Ugh! I have been dealing with this problem for the past 6 months or so. After reviewing several of the responses on this forum, I am comforted by the fact that I am not alone in dealing with this issue.
I am running CS3 on a Pentium 4, 3.4 GHz system with 2 GB of Ram. I have Windows XP service pack 2. I am pretty good about getting both the latest windows and adobe updates. With respect to screen resolutions, I have 2 22inch lcd monitors both running at 1200x1600. My previous version of Photoshop was version 7 plus I had the Macromedias Dreamweaver Suite version 8.
For me the print screen problem has been totally random. I can grab a number of different screen shots (using <alt><prtScn>) and paste them into photoshop without a problem. Then, the process just seems to stop working and then I am only able to paste the last item I was successfully able to grab. And like others on this forum, other apps like Microsoft Word, paint, etc. would let me paste the same image in even though Photoshop would not.
Now, when this problem would come up, for me, it was just a simple mater of recycling Photoshop and then I would be back in business.
I just tried to add the registry key suggested by Nathan (see http://microsoft.blognewschannel.com/archives/2007/09/05/how-to-fix-the-photoshop-clipboa rd/) I opened regedit, navigated to the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Photoshop\10.0] folder and added a new dword key. The name of the key is AlwaysImportClipboard and the value is 1. Right now, I seem to be in business.
PS Finally, I feel sorry for those who take offense by any accusations posted on this forum that this issue may be a Photoshop bug. It really does not matter whether this is a windows configuration issue or a Photoshop bug. I just want this feature to work. I think Adobe has done a great job producing an extremely powerful product with more features than I will ever use. I wouldnt be surprised if there was a bug or two.

Pasting into Photoshop CS5 + Auto Resize

We copy a lot of existing elements from illustrator files into existing Photoshop documents. The dimensions of the Illustrator files are much larger, so we've always pasted into Photoshop and it resizes to the smaller photoshop document.
When I paste into the existing Photoshop document in CS5, I need the image/object to resize to my Photoshop document, instead of pasting in at the actual/original size.
Is there something I can change in preferences? Or a way to do this?

Yes many Photoshop users that know they know how Photoshop Place and Paste work. Even when they do know. Their actual understanding may not comprend the whole story yet. For they have may not had to seen all the variations of Place and Paste and haven't given the subject deep thought.
A lot has to do with size. Many users think about size differently for there are several sizes when it comes down to it.. When Photoshop documentation states size its best to think "Print Size" You know this has to do document resolution and the number of pixels in the document. It what make the physical print size When images are Pasted and Placed into some other document Photoshop maintains the new layers "physical print size" If the two document do not have the same resolution the image going into the document will be scaled to the receiving document resolution it does not mater how your Photoshop preferences setting are set. There will be scaling size change made. The result may or may not fit within the receiving documents canvas. In the case of place if what is being place in does not fit. What does not fit may be scaled to fit within the receiving document canvas size. Place images are smart object layers and the object pixels are the original ones for the object. All smart object layers have a single transform associated with them. This transform may or may not scale the original image. Image that have the same resolution may just be scale to 100% and have not change in number of pixels. When the object being place is larger the canvas size depending on the Photoshop's Preference Place object resize option the object may be resized to fit within canvas its print size will be different then the original object. Its only when you have been puzzled by some Photoshop's Places and Paste operation that you deepen your though process and inveterate the subject thoroughly that you see the whole story
Target a placed in image smart object layer and use the free transform shortcut key to see the current associated transform. Look in the option bar at its scale setting it may surprise you.
I will admit my knowledge was very faulty till I started scripting place and had to deal with how Photoshop did the operation. I had a lot of problems till I realized what was happening. I then realizes that I could scale the placed object to 100% get it back to its original pixels then transform these pixels to where I needed them to be and scaled to the size I needed.
As wrote I don't have AI. Since AI is an Adobe product when you use copy in AI and paste in PS I can beleive that Photoshop may well know that the clipboards contents were copied there from AI and Photoshop may give you options like to use paste or place. I would think any resizing done to the clipboards pixels is done by Photoshop not AI.

Can't copy from an ebay image/photo and paste into Photoshop CS4.....but Opera can?

Problem is not win 7 or WinXP as your competitor "Opera" can do this.

Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

Png-24 import into photoshop cs3

Anyone know a way to import png24 into photoshop cs3 / cs4?
whenever i do it all i get is a solid transparency.
i want to be able to batch several icons. lowering them in image size.

Does that remove the transparency or show the mask? The reason I ask is I have someone on another forum that is quite inquisitive. And would like to know how to do this. He states it is possible to do in AE so it should be possible in photoshop.
I currently only have CS3 but hopefully that changes next month.
The images that he needs this done on are renders from a 3d program. I assume he prefers png format even though it does support of formats including those that don't support transparency or an alpha. The thing is some images can take quite awhile to rerender.
The work arounds I told him about was to either
a)render just the background and place it on its own layer below the image. or
b)use a 3rd party program that does not support transparency or alphas like MSPaint.
I will forward your suggestion about CS5 though as I don't know what version he is using.

Can't Copy and Paste into Illustrator CS3 from Firefox 3!

I read these things all the time, but first time posting, so you KNOW this problem is annoying me.
I could always copy and paste from Firefox 2 into Illustrator CS2/CS3. However, once I upgraded to Firefox 3 I no longer can! I get the annoying "Quicktime and a decompressor are needed to see this picture." I can't believe more people aren't complaining more about this. Save your time posting about "Illustrator is a vector program, and Photoshop is pixel based," I know I have been able to do it before so that is not the issue. Any light that could be shed on the situation would be great! Thanks in advance.

I found that FF3 originally renamed .jpegs to the JFIF format when draging and dropping to the desktop, and it was not until March when the code was finalized that that you could drag and drop to your desktop without the conversion. You get around the illustrator CS3 problem a number of ways...drap and drop to the desktop and then to illustrator CS3, Drap and drop to photoshop CS3 and then to Illustrator CS3 or save as to the desk top, or use an older version of Firefox. I am currently tyring to determine if the JFIF renaming issue is what is preventing the direct drag and drop to Illustrator, and if there is a fix for issue. Any help out there or ideas would be helpful.

How to get ImageReady CS slices into Photoshop CS3??

I have several website interfaces designed in Photoshop CS and sliced in ImageReady. I update these sites weekly and need to work within the established slice areas. I now have Photoshop CS3 and none of the slices come with the file when opened thanks to Adobe dropping ImageReady.
Am I missing something here?
Please help. Updates long overdue to these websites while I try to figure out this problem.
Thanks.
Kirk

The slices are for the entire interfaces on database-driven ecommerce sites, so when a product photo changes, etc. I need to replace it and the new one needs to be the exact same size obviously. Given that the interface is built by the database, the various areas that make up the interface (page top, side navigation, etc.) are not in a single document. This makes the option of redrawing all the slices and getting the resulting HTML back into the database very unattractive.
Isn't there some way of getting the existing slices out of ImageReady and into CS3 or Fireworks? Export as something and bring in as slices? Something?
Thanks.

Vector Smart Object fades when pasted into Photoshop

I have a group of vector objects in Illustrator. I am trying to copy and paste them into Photoshop just as I have done many times before. This time, however, everytime I paste them, regardless of if I choose Smart Object of Pixels, the image appears on the Photoshop document but then fades to what appears to be less than 40% opacity as soon as I hit return or deselect. The opacity still remains 100% and there aren't any other layers on top of the new one.
Does anyone know why this may be happening? I'm running both Illustrator CS5 and Photoshop CS5.

The left side is Illustrator, the right is what happens in Photoshop.

Problems placing ai and eps files into PhotoShop CS3 on a Mac

When I place any ai or eps file into PhotoShop using File > Place, the images are pixelated. It does not matter if the PhotoShop file size is 72 dpi or 300 dpi, the end result is still the same.
Placing images used to work a few days ago, and now all of a sudden it does not. Are there any settings that may have been changed?

I can’t reproduce the problem, but as with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems You might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences You’ve changed) by pressing command-alt-shift on starting the program.

Trouble scanning into Photoshop Elements 11 from Canoscan 8800F

Each time I scan several photos into Photoshop Elements 11 a few of the photos go to my selected file and one or more say they were not imported because they already exist in the APPData/Local/Temp/PSAlbumImport file. I then have to try to figure out how to get them transferred to my selected file. Why is this happening? It really slows down the scanning process and I'm sure this isn't how things are supposed to work.

I have not come across that problem. The only workaround I can suggest is to scan photos directly to a folder on you hard drive and then use the Organizer menu to import the images:
File >> Get Photos & Videos >> From Files & Folders

Downloading Nikon NEF Raw into Photoshop CS3

I recently changed from a Canon DSLR to a Nikon D5000.Like many other Nikon users I have hit a problem in trying to download Nikons NEF images into CS3 .On trying to open RAW images up comes the message "Unable to open document".I have checked on the bridge that the ACR is 4-6-03 .Should I download ACR 5-6 or is it not compatible with CS3 ? If it is will it help solve problem.
I haven't opened NIKONS software suite as I prefer to work with Photoshops RAW toolbar beside the downloaded image.Any advice appreciated

Your camera's images need ACR 5.4 to open them.
As you suspected this is not compatible with CS3 – it needs CS4.
You can however use the latest version of the stand-alone DNG converter to create files readable in CS3 if you don't want to upgrade Photoshop.

Copy from Acrobat CS4, Pastes into Photoshop as just a black box...

It only happens on maybe 50% of the PDFs that I work with. These are files I get from my clients (newspapers). When I select something from a page of the newspaper pdf, it seems to copy fine. Then I open up Photoshop, create a new document, and paste the image into it -- but instead of getting the images in my Photoshop document, I just get a big black block...
Any thoughts?

Alright... I was able to (somehow) get the problem reduced to only happening when I use the cursor, click on the photo, and right-click copy. However, I need to do that A LOT.
I believe Acrobat is copying the image out as a bitmap, and that's the source of the problem. Any way I can set the prefs to make all images copy out as jpegs???

Copying objects from InDesign to paste into Photoshop: new file always defaults to 72 dpi. How do I fix this?

In previous versions, you could copy and object in another piece of software and Photoshop would automatically size the new file to take the object at 300 dpi. In CS this appears not to be the case, the default size being 72 dpi. How do I fix this?

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!

copy the image and have it in a high-quality PNG format that does not include the background from the Pages document.
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.

Does Photoshop CS3 Extended support Thai fonts?

I am translating some short text in Photoshop to several Asian languages. I noticed just with the Thai language, that I get a series of X's with boxes instead of Thai characters. The characters are fine in other applications, including Flash CS3. Other than taking a screenshot in another app and pasting into Photoshop, does anyone know of a workaround? Should I install a particular Thai font that is supported by Photoshop? I am running Photoshop CS3 Extended on Windows XP. Thanks for any help.

So in my search, the only thing I found was a utility downloadable at CNET http://download.cnet.com/ASK-Square-Free-Version/3000-2316_4-10855142.html
"ASK Square works efficiently with well-known graphic software such as Adobe Photoshop 7, CS, CS2, CS3 and CS4. It enables users to use of all Thai characters. Users can type all Thai characters, even troublesome characters like. This software also corrects excessively high vowels while typing or after typing just by only one click. Further more it can transform illegible font to normal font that happens when changes a texts font, to a readable normal font. If users copy texts from external application such as word processing or spreadsheet software and paste those texts into their graphic software, ASK Square software can correct the wrong-encoded texts automatically.
ASK Square is flexible. It enable user to type Thai non-unicode font on Adobe Photoshop. Version 1.5.0.10 supports Adobe Photoshop CS4."
Funny thing is you can tell their sales pitch was loosely translated. I gave it a try anyway. The instruction PDF was in Thai, their website was in Thai. But I felt brave anyway, seeing as I googled this application title and didn't see anything negative written about it. Then I go to the application icon in the system tray. As you can see from my screenshot, it ain't exactly user-friendly.
Bottom line... it didn't work. Anyone out there have a solution? I've searched everywhere... Am I the only one with this problem?
