I never had it since I installed a Clipboard Manager. (Clipmate)

John,

Did you have the problem before you installed the Clipboard Manager?

I did but that was back in CS2 or 3

You could try a free trial to see what happens.

Unfortunately, the Clipmate product does not work in 64 bit environments.

It works fine on my Windows 7 Professional 64-bit OS.

I am experiencing the exactly same problem. Is there any solution to this? I have a user that uses Photshop CS5 64bit that only can paste the things that was copied before the program was started...

This does seem to be a Windows 64-bit version issue. I copy an image from a Web page. I can paste it easily into MS Paint, for example, so I know nothing is preventing the image from being copied to the clipboard. However, PhotoShop is showing nothing on the clipboard. When creating a new file, the option to size the document for the clipboard is grayed out.

Clearly something is preventing PhotoShop 64-bit from seeing the clipboard.

Hi All,

Just wanted to add myself to the list of people suffering this problem. Interestingly with CS4 PS-64bit, not CS5.

Windows 7 Ultimate (Ultimate indeed...) 64 bit. Minimalistic start-up, tried running no other software and killing processes all to no avail.

Otherwise exactly the same issue.

Copy item, open PS-64, new document = correct document size etc.

Try and copy item after PS-64 already open, no dice. I tried purging the clipboard in PS-64 and after that the paste options are completely greyed out regardless of what you try to copy.

I am specifically trying to copy images from ID to PS. Bad form I know, but for what I am doing, if the clipboard was working, it would be much quicker than retrieving the original images, merging, cropping etc.

Drag and drop works, but this is no good if you want to create a new document from the clipboard.

So rather than just a CS5 issue, it appears to be a Windows 64 bit/PS-64bit issue, regardless of release.

Cheers, J

You will have to ask the MAC forums.

I am guessing it is normal for a MAC to lose over 25 mb of data.

Let myself explain few things about how I know this bug and how I came to this forum today.

I have experienced this with CS2 and CS5, always under Windows XP Pro.

When I had CS2, I have tried to uninstall the Microsoft Office clipboard, nothing changed. Then, I try the Clipbook service on and off, and still nothing change. The bug is clearly really hard to reproduce. And my today experience is in a way proving it:

The Photoshop Clipboard run off during a session. I was working, sometime pasting screen capture in Photoshop. I leave my computer after having lock the session, I came back pasting was unavailable. I remember that when I got this bug under CS2 it was not always because of locking the station. It was during a session. And relaunch Photoshop changes nothing. I got to reboot to have the clipboard working again. With CS2, I have also experimented pasting in 2 colors only.

Next time the clipboard will unwork, I will try to purge it. But I remembered that this changed nothing while using CS2 so I didn't even try this morning. If I someday manage do determinatively reproduce the bug, I'll make a report.

CS5 is disappointing. I also got some serious problems with my Wacom Intuos 3. During the same drawing session, some strokes I got pressure recognition, some strokes not. But this an other story... Still loving Ps either.

i had exactly the same issue with clipboard in PS CS5 described by David Dobish above. I solved it by removing Selective Tool (64 bit) Pluging from NIK SOFTWARE. Now clipboard works fine.

I can confirm that uninstalling Alien Skin Exposure 3 fixes the issue!

As this issue apparently occurs with a few different plug-ins, I wonder what those plug-ins have in common.

Is it an issue with the plug-ins, or with Photoshop when the plug-ins are installed?

It would be great if Adobe could install Alien Skin Exposure 3 and see if they can finally reproduce the issue.

Try Edit>Purge>All

I had the same issue and that solved it in my case.

*** I have solved the problem ***

Using Windows 7 64-bit with CS5 64-bit.

I used to have that issue and I solved it by removing a bunch of "crap apps" from my comp. I can't tell after which one it worked but here is the list of things I've uninstalled:

- VMWare Workstation.

- All Apple stuff.

- Flash.

- Disabled a bunch of Adobe start-up executables in msconfig.

- Disabled Java in msconfig.

- GoogleUpdate.exe (renamed the exe so it doesn't start).

I think this is it.

I can confirm that the problem occured after installing 64bit plugins by NIK Software (Color Efex Pro or Viveza). When deactivating the "Selective Tool" in the plugins folder then the clipboard works fine again.

I've got the same problem too.

I tend to Alt-PrtScn and paste into Photoshop CS5, but I've not been able to work out why it sometimes works and sometimes does not.

I am also using Nik Color Efex, and have recently upgraded to the 64-bit version. I couldn't tell you if this problem started before or since. I always stop the Nik Selective tool from loading with Photoshop, I even tried removing it, but it stopped Color Efex working properly.

I have also noticed that MS Outlook 2003 stops responding sometimes when Photoshop is open. It resumes as soon as I close Photoshop. I thought I'd mention this, as it was a google search for "Photoshop CS5 Outlook 2003" which brought me to this thread.

Same with me:

v. 2.006 - 8263

Just in case anyone was wondering, 64-bit pasting is still broken with the latest version of Selective Tool (2.006 - 9162) which comes with DFine 2.107.
