Question

Paste Offset (moves the pasted item)

Usually, 95% of the time, a pasted item is identically positioned (but on a new layer)

but SOMETIMES the paste is offset and out of place. I can't work out why it does this, I literally don't do anything differently, but sometimes it pastes in a different position and I have to nudge it back up.

Does anyone know why?

I have the same issue. I think It's a bug. How to fix it without reinstall my photoshop?

If your image is zoomed in on the canvas to any degree, PS will try and center the pasted image in you window, and not the actual image, unless you use shift-ctrl-V.

That's a good idea Chuck, thank you, but I don't think the zoom % is affecting it. The next time it happens I will double-check whether I just zoomed in or out or not. Thanks.

If you find a situation in which you can reproduce the issue at will please post the observation here.

Firstly I am curious and secondly as I have done you a disservice with my sloppy reading I would like to figure out what the issue is.

I appreciate your response but a screenshot of my panels would not further illustrate my question.

Usually the paste works absolutely fine, but sometimes, for seemingly no reason at all, it will offset the position.

It's not a huge obstacle, I can nudge it back over but I just wondered why.

I'm an old Photoshop user of many many years, I'm stuck in my habit of CtrlC and CtrlV I'm afraid.

Th screenshot should naturally have included the Canvas, not just the Panels.

Once again what about:

The Selection?

The selected pixel-content relative to the Selection?

The position of the image on screen (and relative to the original Selection)?

Hello, A video screen capture could work, have it running while you work, then trim it to the places where you run into the issue.

You did not state either how far it lands, I'm with Christoph I suspect a selection where the new stuff would land.

The CTRL+J to "jump" to a new layer is very old, and what is good is that it does not use the OS clipboard, so you get less memory fragmentation, less possible problems with third-party apps, and stuff usually lands in the same spot. ;-)

And please post screenshots including all pertinent Panels to illustrate your issue.

Is a Selection active or not?

If a Selection is active does the copied pixel content actually »touch« the Selection’s bounds at all four sides?

What is the position and magnification of the image on screen?

If one needs to duplicate Layer content with identical position cmd-J is the way to go instead of cmd-C and cmd-V.
