Photoshop CS5 Clipboard Issue (Win 7)

I have a copy of PS CS5 installed and i can only paste an image that i copied from before the program was started. When Ps is already started and I copy an image and try to paste it in PS it will paste the image I copied before I started the program not the one I just copied...

It's a pretty annoying situation... not being able to copy and paste once the program is running. I have to shut it down, start it up again to paste the image I want...

Anybody a solution?

I work on: Win 7 ultimate 64 bit - i7 - 8 gigs ram

    You'd need confirmation from Adobe to be sure, but a quad word value is probably not the right choice.  I assume you did this because Photoshop is 64 bit, but it's not likely the Adobe programmers changed the registry access function (if it still exists) to use a quad word instead of a double word just because they're compiling for 64 bits.  The size of registry access functions is not normally tied to the natural integer size; you have to specifically code them to a particular data type.

    Honestly, I've never tried reading a quad word from the registry with a double word access; since the Intel processor is little-endian it may well work out to the same thing.

    i had exactly the same issue with clipboard in PS CS5 described by David Dobish above. I solved it by removing Selective Tool (64 bit) Pluging from NIK SOFTWARE. Now clipboard works fine.

    Most folks have no problem copying and pasting into Photoshop, so it's not a systemic problem.  I have an 8 GB Windows 7 x64 system, for example, and don't see the problem you are describing.

    It most probably is an effect of other applications you are running.  Another application is likely locking the clipboard up and preventing Photoshop from accessing it.  In short, Photoshop is interacting badly with something else you are running.

    Try shutting down all other applications you're running, including eMail, utilities that enhance your desktop operation, etc.  You may even want to try temporarily disabling your antivirus software.

    Do you run any remote sessions with other computers (e.g., via Remote Desktop or Citrix)?

    It's a good idea to learn what is every single application, process, and service that's running on your computer, and why they're there.  This will involve looking over the lists in the Task Manager and doing some internet research.  Also, there are good freeware utilities online that can help you know what applications start when you boot up and log in, such as AutoRuns and ShellExView

    Good luck.

    Hmm, i'm pretty much aware of every single process thats running on my pc and I make shure it are only the ones I allow..

    I'll test somethings out (shutting down one bye one) and report back.
