P: Paste in Place from an action doesn't work with layer based copy

With the new CC 2018 layer based copy feature, "paste in place" does not paste anything from an action. The action will record an action step for the "paste in place" but the action step does not actually paste anything. Paste in Place does work correctly when doing in manually from the new layer copy feature. Also, paste in place works from an action if it is a selection copy, just not the new layer copy. Also, the regular paste command works in an action from the new layer copy feature (but will center based on transparency bounds).

Hey Everyone!

This issue should be resolved in the release of Photoshop that just went live, 19.1. Please open your Creative Cloud desktop app, update Photoshop and let us know how it goes!

Thank you,
Hannah

I have noticed the same problem. Has this been fixed yet? Or is there a solution?

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I know the regular paste in the center is not a bug which was why I was trying to use paste in place. I was just noting that it worked as it should for troubleshooting purposes.

Anyway, for future reference, is there somewhere else that I am suppose to report a bug? I searched but it seemed this forum is where it pointed me. If there is an actual bug report form to fill out or something then could you point the address to me for future reference?

Thanks again.

Hi,

I can reproduce the issue for copied layers not working on playback and have logged a bug for it. Note, regular paste centering is not a bug.

Thanks for the report!

Regards,
Eric
