Waiting for Libraries

[ScooterD76]

Ive been getting the the last 2 days, when pasting vectors into PS as smart objects...

It just hangs and i cancel then things work normally

PS ver. 19.1.1

Could you provide steps of this work flow?

Is this a Library Panel object, or from Illustrator? etc.

Thank you

[ScooterD76]

Pasting from Illustrator. I don't use the Libraries panel too often, but i do know when pasting a smart object from Illustrator, it will go there.

When you paste a message comes up asking how you want to paste the image, and you pick smart object right? Take a closer look at that message dialog. At the bottom of the message is a check box to “add to library”. This is the default setting. Un check this option. I’m pretty sure that will solve your problem.

Hello, the box for the libraries is unchecked and it is still waiting for libraries endlessly. What can I do?

Hi

Photoshop freezes when I paste intelligent objetcs, then it keeps waiting for library and stands still, forcing me up to force shut down the app. I need your help!

Hi there,

Sorry that Photoshop is getting stuck at "Waiting for Libraries" while you add smart objects.

Which version of Photoshop are you using and what is your operating system?/

Please checkout the steps mentioned in this similar discussion Waiting for Libraries and let us know if that helps? 

Thanks,

Akash
