Been using Photoshop for more than 20 years now. All of the sudden, these paste options, which I use regularly, no longer appear or do not work as expected. Please help!

I had the same problem. I was able to copy and paste a text layer onto another photo using the menu dropdown but when I tried to copy and paste a photo, it was grayed out. At this point whether it is 8 bits or 16 etc doesn't matter because I haven't even told it what photo to paste onto. What finally worked for me was opening the photo I wanted to copy then I hit Select >All to get the marching ants around it and then the "Copy" command was no longer grayed out and I was able to copy and paste the photo finally.

Hello, @sallytan , could you state if you also cannot Ctrl+C, and tell us if the source image is also in 32 bits, if there is anything special. Can you copy and paste in the same image?

I tried to copy an image using Ctrl C and also Copy in the dropdown menu, but it not work for me, i.e. Paste Into greyed out. What worked for me is - Select > All, then go to Edit > Copy. After that, the Paste Special > Paste Into is in black mode. Here is the photo i used. - https://www.freepik.com/free-photo/young-asian-backpacker-female-wearing-hat-traveling-historic-site...

Do you remember what was the last step before the copy?
There might be a step that triggers a change in behavior.
Quickmask? Object select tool?

Just checking -- eveyone here did have the layer they want to paste into selected not just as the active layer, but marching-ants-selected...right? After not using PS for a while, and coming back for a project and trying to Paste Into a layer mask, I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't let me. After some searching around on the Web, I realized I forgotten that it was necessary to use area selection or Select All first on the target layer. (Or maybe that didn't use to be necessary?) Voila, it worked.

Solved, go into the layers panel and unlock the layer. All OK after that.
