Copy link to clipboard
Copied
Hello, sometimes I get a weird bug where I can't Paste a copied image into an active canvas in photoshop. To fix the problem I have to jump through some specific hoops (hoping this is helpful to you guys for fixing the bug, too)
The problem:
Sometimes when I Right click (in my browser for example) > Copy image > Paste into my acvtive photoshop canvas > The previous/wrong/cached file from the clipboard is pasted in. No matter if i use Ctrl+V or Edit > Paste, same result.
The solution:
I have to goto File > New (note this is actually the wrong canvas size, it should be the copied file dimensions like it normally is) > Create > Paste now works > Close this new file > Paste again in my canvas and NOW it does work.
It's bizarre. Note this doesn't always happen. Maybe 50% of the time only.
I'm on windows 10, and I keep my photoshop up to date (subscription)
Any help is much appreciated
Thanks

I started to notice my snipping tool screenshots were not pasting, even opening a new document and trying to paste.
However, I did stumble accross tabbing out and back in (I'd make chrome my active window, then back to PS) seemed to 'refresh' the PS clipboard and I was pasting the most recent image saved to the clipboard. This worked really well for me - annoying yes, but got me through without too much frustration.

Update - just pressing Windows key then back to PS works too.
