Photoshop :: When Copy And Paste File It Becomes Blurred And Unusable
Aug 10, 2012
I am saving graphics from Word for usage in a Framemaker document. When I copy and paste the file into Photoshop it becomes blurred and unusable. How do I resolve this? I have tried saving the file in it's highest resolution but that doesn't work either.
I transfer my adjustments from lightroom to photoshop for additional editing. The adjustments show in the new Photoshop file. However, when I make a selection from that file and copy and paste it into a different Ps file, it does not show the adjustments. I even tryed saving the adjusted photoshop file as a jpeg and then opening it up and reselecting what I want.....Copy and paste it.....and the adjustments still don't appear on the different Ps file/photo. How can I keep the adjustments made in lightroom as a selection to copy and paste to a new file?
Our department currently uses MS Paint to place varied colored boxes for call outs on top of screen figures used in our documentation. As you know, MS Paint is not a robust image editing application, and we are frustrated at its limitations (especially not having a "non-destructive" edit capability).
Consequently, we are evaluating a trial version of PS to see how a workflow could be developed that would allow the department to use call out boxes "stored" in a PS file that could be applied in an easy, consistent manner to our screen figures (but also keep each call out box editable) using PS.
Consequently, in PS using the shape tool, I created a file with our colored boxes for call outs, each on its own layer. Now I am trying to determine how you copy and paste a box (or layer) from this file to a "working" file (one containing a screen figure), while keeping all of its attributes (color, line weight, being editable, etc.). I can't seem to find an option to do this. Is there? If not, is there another workflow in PS that you can recommend for this type of procedure?
how to copy and paste a bin from one project file into another. I don't want to import using the Media Browser because it imports a bunch of reference files that are already in the project file I'm pasting into.
If I copy a single line from a file then paste it into a new file with nothing in it and save, I end up with a 3 or 4 meg file. I noticed when I paste the line into the new drawing, I get the following message over and over:
Substituting [simplex.shx] for [OA_Edina.shx]. Substituting [simplex.shx] for [OA_2007.shx].
We have files that are 20 or 30 meg that should only be 1 or 2 meg. Purge and audit in the .dwg does not work. One way to fix it is to dxfout then purge and audit the .dxf file, then save back to .dwg. The audit typically finds tens of thousands of errors. This process takes a long time and the problem comes back as soon as someone copies something into the file. We need a more permanent fix.
When I try to Copy & Paste an object from one file to another, appears following alert window: “This application has detected a mixed version of AEC objects participating in this operation. Newer AEC objects will be disallowed from participating in this operation”. And I cannot paste the object copied from other file. This happened to me when I work with Autocad2010 using drawings saved as Autocad2004 in Autocad2013.
Since I am working in a group of people that have different versions of Autocad, I need the solution for this problem.
I am using ACAD 2005 and am trying to copy&paste several objects from a layer I created in one .dxf file to one of the 2 standard layers (0 or Defpoints) in a new blank .dxf file.
My problem though is that if I copy and paste all of the objects (or even one of them) and them move to the new file and paste, it pastes the objects, but also "imports" into the new file the original file's layer that these objects were on.
For clarity, the new file only has the 2 standard layers and then after copy/pasting an object, the file manager shows the 3rd layer from the original file.
I am running Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit. I am having trouble copying and pasting things. The issue is that after I copy something/Print Screen, it takes several pastes for Photoshop to finally realize the change. Basically, the first couple of times I paste, the thing that was previously copied gets pasted it. I don't know if it's making a difference but it switches the paste to the latest thing that was copied faster after I minimize and maximize back the program. It's extremely annoying especially because then I have to either undo each time/delete the layers. Plus, I do a lot of frame comparisons between different video sources and it's hard to tell whether the thing being pasted was changed or not.
How do I do a simple copy of one pixel and paste it to another place (I have zoomed in a lot) or if I have't zoomed in that close, copy some area and paste it to another place?
how I can simply copy and paste an area of an image back onto the same image?
On my previous graphics software it was simply a case of highlighting the required area, click 'copy' then click 'paste' and bingo! To copy and paste on Photoshop seems much more involved including a number of complicated steps.
When i copy or copy merged and paste into a new canvas or layer, i get like a small Gradient round the sides of the image, the Gradient goes white. I know its a Copy problem because if i paste the layer selection into MS Paint it still gets that gradient around the sides.
So when you copy and then paste a selection, photoshop almost always pastes way far away from where I copied. Why does it do that and how can I make it stop?
I commonly need to be able to copy something and then paste in the exact same spot.
I am trying to copy and paste a paragraph and only get a single line and not the paragraph here are the steps I take:
- Copy text - select text tool - drag text box - paste text
I get all the words but bunched in one line. I have tried selecting the text layer and selecting Convert to Paragraph and it does nothing. I am sure there is a single option or button I am missing. I can only type titles not a wrapping paragraph in the box
I am not able to copy and paste text from non-Adobe programs (like Keynote or Word) into Photoshop CS6. I get an error message reading "Could not complete the Paste Text command because the clipboard data is empty or invalid." I have tried shutting down Photoshop, shutting down other programs, re-starting my computer, adjusting my Preferences and asking Adobe by phone and chat. I am on a new iMac and have no third party plug-ins installed.
When copying a gradient filled shape from illustrator CS6 to Photoshop CS6 an outline "halo" appears in the Photoshop image although the shape has no outline to begin with. Is this a clipboard issue? Is it an anti-aliasing setting I can change? Apparently it isn't as noticeable when I drag the shape from illustrator to Photoshop as it is when using the copy/paste command. But in both situations there seem to be issues in the border when gradient filled shapes touch other shapes.
I'm sick en tired of copy pasting text and get another output of my font size. For example: I copy a text with a font sz of 16 px, that size become 15.98px.
What's the problem with Photoshop CS6? I only have this problem since i've updated my software.
I'm using two different .psd files - on one, copy/paste (or Cmd+C, then Cmd+V) works perfectly after I have made a selection - it creates a new layer. On the other, this doesn't happen at all. I would attache the file but I don't think I can...
In any case, they are both simple files for Photoshop beginners. The one started out the same as the other, but I went through some basic steps in my learning, and now I am unable to copy/paste in the second file.
I have had this problem many times with both CS6 and CS5. I'm not sure if this is a Photoshop question or a Windows OS 8 question but anyways it seems to only happen with Photoshop.
I copy an image offline to edit in photoshop. After I'm finished I save it and delete the image layer from the workspace to get ready for the next image. I grab another image that I want to paste in the same photshop workspace. When I paste, it pastes the same image I copied first. It even does this when I restart Photoshop, so that's why I think it may have to do with Windows Clipboard.
I'm also really interested in details about how 'Copy/Paste" and the "Clipboard" work with different programs so I can best understand how to utilize it with what seems to be a simple tool, yet I still find myslef with questions because I don't filly undertsnad it.
when using the pen tool say I create a shape with the lines and I want a symmetrical other side, there doesnt seem to be a way to copy the pen tool points and paste them, then join them, so what do people do? Does everyone just make it a selection, fill with colour then copy it?
size changing when I copy and paste a layer from one file to the next. I will use a hypothetical for an example but the concept and process has been confusing me on many projects.
Ok I have a new document blank page 5x5.
I would like to put a circle on there covering approximately 1/4.
I open up another file 2.5x.2.5. Place my circle on there going almost all the way to the edges. (lets pretend the circle is detailed and I do not want to resize it again)
I copy my circle, go over to the 5x5 image and paste. The pasted layer is always much larger then what it started. Not a 2.5 circle.
I know about smart images and how to resize without distortion. My problem always occurs when I copy and paste. Well not problem but operator error.
I have created an image on a document sized 14.5*10 cm. I am trying to copy the whole image to a new A4 document and it looks tiny or very fuzzy (if resized). Why is the image tiny when the document size is not that much different?
I seem to recall that there is a method to copy and paste a line or paragraph of text from Word or Word Pad into Photoshop and then be able to work with it with the Type Tool.
I am working with a PSD. I am trying to copy a rounded button from the PSD and pasting it on a new image so I can use for a website. The image needs a transparent background. So I delete all the background layers (so it's transparent) from the PSD and copy the button. I then paste the button on a new image with a transparent background. Everything is good up until this point. However, when I go to save the new image it blurs the rounded edges from the button. This makes the button look bad on the webpage.
So when you copy and then paste a selection, photoshop almost always pastes way far away from where I copied. Why does it do that and how can I make it stop? I commonly need to be able to copy something and then paste in the exact same spot.
I've just installed Elements 2 after using Elements 1 for ages and have been used to the copy and paste icon in the top bar, but in 2 they're not there.
Is there a way to do this, rather than use the Edit pulldown?
