Illustrator not allowing to copy/paste to Photoshop

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone is facing smth similar and can possibly advise.

After the recent Adobe update I can no longer directly copy/paste any vector graphic from Illustartor to Photoshop. 

Makes it very difficut to work efficiently, as I have to save each file separately as png to then import to Photoshop. Screen message says: "Could not complete Paste Command as Clipboard data is empty or invalid". Strangely, it work other way arround from Photoshop to Illustartor with no problem.

I have Mac Mini (M1, 2020) with Chip Apple M1, 16GB. Illustartor recently updated upto 25.2.3

On the other hand on my mac Book pro all works OK.

 

Many thanks

Things to try, if you haven't already:

Reboot the computer.

Close/relaunch both apps.

Purge the Photoshop Clipboard.

Change your Illustrator Clipboard preferences.

Reset Illustrator preferences.
