It's that simple. I have used PS for many uyears, but I stopped for a bit, around 2020, then resumed in 2023. And now I find that many of my old shortcuts, such as Command-C for "Copy ", and Command-V for "paste", don't work. I can't tell what I'm doing wrong. Frankly, I can't tell what I'm doing at all in PS 2024. This is pretty basic stuff, and I can't do it anymore. Should I switch to Affinity? Any and all help will be appreciated. I'm on an M1 Mac Mini runing Sequoia 15.0.1.
Note-I just tried it, using the files I had been trying with previously (and unsuccessfully), selected the smaller image, after reducing it to simply an image, hit Command-C, switched to the larger image (blank page) and typed Command-V. Nothing happened. Nada.
I tried to accomplish the same thing (copy the same image, then paste) in Illustrator 2024, and managed to do it in a matter of seconds, then completed the whole "job" in two or three minutes. Meanwhile, Photoshop won't do anything I expect it to. What could I have done to create this problem?
Not a vector object. A reaster object, just like the PS trial. I do know the difference. In AI, I opened a new file, brought up the same raster file as I had in PS, selected the same area of the image, copied it, and was able to plant it in the newly-opened blank file. Flattened it and saved it. I couldn't do that in Photoshop. Any idea why not? I'm willing to believe that something I did or didn't do is causing this problem, but I was using Illustrator long before I started using Photoshop, so I didn't confuse raster and vector.
