Question

CS 6 - Cannot copy a group into another document

I used to copy a group of layers into another (opened) document. Now, that I installed Photoshop CS 6 (Windows 10), the same function doesn't work properly anymore. When I try to copy the same group as I used for years, the other document in photoshop cannot be found. I only can be copied it into a new document (but not an existing).
After searching for the "broken" layer, which causes this problem, I stumbled onto a "color lookup"-layer. When I delete this layer, I can copy the group into another document as I used to do before. If I leave this layer, or create new the same layer, it doesn't work. This seems to be a bug in photoshop with windows 10 (with windows 7 I didn't have this problem). How can I solve this?

The Error Message (in germany): "Der Vorgang konnte nicht ausgeführt werden, weil eine Einstellungs- oder Füllebene nicht in den Modus des Zieldokuments konvertiert werden kann".

(This means something like "...one layer cannot be converted into the mode of the new document...)
The color modes are the same though.

Thank you very much! The update finally fixed the bug!

Why can't adobe include this update in the cloud? My cloud told me there are no more updates. And when I tried to call adobe, they always told me that 13.0 was the very last update for CS6. And of course, no one wanted to tell me the download-link you gave me.
Thanks again for your help!

Have you applied all the photoshop cs6 updates by going to Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6?

 

Specifically you need the 13.0.1.3 update.

Yes, all updates have been installed yet. The problem is, I can't get 13.01.3. Even the hotline of adobe told me, there is no available update higher than 13.0. I tried to install CS6 with  cloud and not from disc, but still there's no update higher than 13.0

Copying a group as you showed still works - only if I want to copy a group, where a "color-Lookup"-Layer is included causes the problem. I will try to get an update to 13.1, and if it doesn't work, I unfortunately need to re-create the group without the color lookup. That really seems to be a bug with my current system


But thanks for trying to help :-)!
