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.

    To solve this problem run your photoshop as Administrator!

    Just very recently - started having this problem on my design workstation Win7 64bits + Photoshop CS6.. and another workstation using Win7 64bits + Photoshop CC.. I spent 2.5 days making research - and one tip left - that it had to be related with a 'plugin'. After many trials and mistakes - I found the culprit: Dropbox!!! There is a functionality that allows for screen captures to be sent to your DB.. I de-installed and removed ALL references in the regedit + application data folders. TADA!!! Issue resolved. Now upon opening a 'new' document in .psd the clipboard is no longer gray-out.

    I need to test if - reinstalling DB and NOT the 'screenshot' functionality - will allow the clipboard to work in .psd.

    Stay tuned.

    Just to confirm I have the same problem, if I remove the "NIK software" folder from my plugins folder copy/paste works just fine and when I put it back it's broken again. I can still copy from web images and paste into Irfanview so it does seem like a Photoshop problem.

    just wanted to add that I've been experiencing the copy/paste problem with Photoshop CS6 all morning. I have none of the plugins installed that have been mentioned in this forum. I have managed to resolve it with a simple fix, but will keep an eye on this issue. I basically shut down Photoshop, then manually restarted it by double-clicking the Photoshop.exe file. For now, the issue is resolved.

    The problem seems to have been triggered when I ran a few scripts. The scripts are "copy" and  "paste". These scripts replace the keyboard shortcuts for copy (ctrl+c) and paste (ctrl+v). Once I ran these scripts, the problem began. But I have been using these scripts for months now with no problems. I use other software running in the background such as AutoHotKey which may have been a factor, but I doubt that since simply restarting Photoshop cleared up the problem.  Infact, it required 2 shutdowns and re-starts of Photoshop before I resolved the issue on my end. I'll continue to report on this should the problem persist.

    I am able to paste into any other program BUT 64 bit Photoshop. I am loathe to reinstall PSD as 32 bit, and .... is that even possible? I am a dork, and need to use things like Paint for pete's sake to save as another file type to reopen in PSD from which copying and pasting, there, works fine. Such a hassle especially overall, and an impossibility when hoping to copy text for a mockup.

    I am even able to paste the text I have copied into a Layer properties field, but then not into a text layer, after I have pasted it into the Layers property field. What the...?  I am extremely frustrated. Do I need to copy and paste text into a same size square in Paint then save it as another file type to open and paste into PSD as a graphic for pete's sake?

    Paste text into the text box -- drag the box out to be large enough to show most of the test, and check to be sure the text font size is set to approximately the right size before pasting to make things easier to see. When you select another layer, the copied  text will show automatically in the properties field.

    Hi, Just trying to add a little more of my findings with this problem  2 days ago I upgraded my pc to an AMD phenom X3, 4GB RAM, new install of Windows 7 64bit and Photoshop CS5 32/64 bit default plugins etc.. I updated drivers etc... yet I have the copy/paste problem I tried all workarounds and patches and no avail I even tried installing CS6 and still same problem..

    Buuut! I noticed I only have this problem when I open existing PSD I have in my drive, which I created in my previouse machine with PS CS5 in Windows XP.

    What I want to do is open an existing psd so as to copy a clip and later paste into another project but I can´t the copy/paste options in edit are grayed out.

    I can drag and drop into another project within PS on a new tab but copy/paste are disabled.  However on a new project in another TAB copy and paste works fine as long as I don´t use any clip previously created in XP!!!!!

    Well hopefully I shed some bit of info for someone and I will wait and see if a solution is found...

    To copy, first you need a selection to identify what you want to copy....

    Well, I don't think it's fair at all to say that it isn't a problem with Photoshop just because it can't be recreated at Adobe.  I can copy and paste a few times in Photoshop before it stops working, and when it stops, I still have no problem whatsoever pasting the contents of my clipboard into Outlook, into Word, into anything else really, so clearly there is an issue here.  Personally, I couldn't care less who's "fault" it is, I would just like to find a workaround.  I read this and wanted to see if anyone else had tried it before I go and edit my system registry:

    Adobe Photoshop is a great piece of software. However, that doesn’t mean that it’s bug-free. Have you ever tried to copy a stock photo for a mock up and nothing happens when you try and paste in Photoshop?

    This bug seems to be Windows XP and CS4 specific, but essentially what happens is Photoshop only checks the clipboard once while it is open. This can be very frustrating. Don’t fret though, we’ve found a fairly simple way to force Photoshop to import the clipboard each time you use the “Paste” command.

    Instructions:

    1. In Windows, go to Start and then Run.
    2. Type in “Regedit” without the quotes
    3. Once in the registry editor, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Adobe > Photoshop > 11.0
    4. Right-click on the 11.0 folder and select New > DWORD and name it “AlwaysImportClipboard” without the quotes
    5. Double click the name and change the Value Data field from 0 to 1
    6. Restart Photoshop and paste away!

    Thanks Very Much,

    Was having this problem on an old computer and this worked perfectly,
      Best to you,

    Cheers and Happy Thanksgiving,
    Rob

    I have this issue in CS4, CS5, and its been a pain for a long time. Installed CS6 beta, and no more problem! All the same plugins, and all the same settings, just dont have the issue in CS6 anymore. So I'm sticking with that for all my Photoshop needs.

    Registered just to give my 2 cents.

    Landed here in search for a solution for this problem and it seemed to be plugin-caused. I started to uninstalling what I have..

    It ended up being the xNormal and its PS plugin. After uninstalled, my clipboard issues were gone. So if anyone who reads this has xNormal installed, it's worth a shot to uninstall it and see if it solved.

    So far no one has commented on my ultrasimple workaround (from march 31), does it only work for me?

    I don't see anything like you describe. Holding down Alt or not makes no difference, nor do I see an hourglass. But then, I don't see these problems either.

    It seems that this question is yet unanswered... I have/had the same problem in Photoshop 64 bit on Windows 7, and even though the issue is still there, I'd like to share a weird workaround that works for me. I simply hold down PrntScr (print screen) and then press Alt. Note, you mustn't release PrntScr until you see the "hourglass"-symbol popping up. You usually use the Alt-button when you want to do a printscreen of a portion of the screen, but that won't work if you for instance are inside Photoshop, for exampel creating a tutorial, and want the selected menu to be printscreened as well. But, if you do it the other way around, PrntScr+Alt, it somehow clears the print screen cache. This works every time for me, hopefully it can help someone else!

    I have the same problem. When I disable OpenGL Drawing (Edit - Preference - un check Enable OpenGL Drawing) I can copy & paste normaly

    Interesting - that would mean that something in your OpenGL driver is causing problems for the clipboard.

    I tried all the solutions in this thread.  The only one that works consistently is removing the NIK plugins entirely.  I bundled all the NIK plugins in the plugin subdirectory into one subdirectory named "NIK".  When I need to use the clipboard I simply move the "NIK" directory out of the photoshop plugin directory.  I moved all the non photoshop plug ins including "NIK" into the auxiliary plugin directory. 

    I haven't gone so far as to try to identify which of the NIK modules have the problem.  I'll probably leave that up to the NIK folk.
