Where did FILE / NEW FROM CLIPBOARD disappear to?

--------------------------------------
•    Waterfox - 6.6.12 (64-bit)
•    WordPerfect 12.0.0.238
•    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 (20130903.r.43239)

==========================================================

 
Am used to FILE / NEW FROM CLIPBOARD being the reasonable option for pasting a graphic into the Elements workspace.
So -- typical for programmers -- that convenience has entirely disappeared from Photoshop Elements 12, at least as far as I can determine.
 
So what's the alternative?
 
Thanks.  Appreciated.

    Did, in fact, find the answer . . . merely by becoming more familiar with PSE12 !

    FILE / NEW / Image From Clipboard

    Thanks for the response.  Have a good week.
