I just wanted to add my name to the list of people with this exact same problem.  I have a few Nik plugins installed with PS CS5 64bit and the clipboard has been rendered unuseable by them.  Disabling SelectivePalette.8li with a tilde worked for me - let's hope they fix this soon.

-NB

I also suffered from the PS CS5 clipboard issue and it drove me crazy, after reading about the NIK software plugins I uninstalled a demo of VIVEZA 2 I had and now clipboard working perfectly. Prob not everyone solution but worked for me... Maybe other 3rd party 64bit plugins could be causing the same issue?

There is an FAQ on the Nik site that asks if you have a problem with HDR Effecx and

indicates a configuration file in zip format. However, the FAQ doesn't specify which

problem the configuration file is supposed to remedy.

Is this the configuration file that solves the clipboard issue?

I'll do that, but you should know that your support site indicates that no one from your team will be available to help in the next two days, due to high volume etc. etc. The link you provided just leads to a general support ticket entry form. Is this what you intended?

Isn't there some written instruction you could give to all of us who have this problem?

-wick

Yes, that fixed the problem here. Thanks for speeding things up.

I copied it to the 64-bit and the x86 counterpart folder too (not sure if the latter was necessary, but it didn't seem to do any harm).

Tried it and it didn't work for me.

Worked for me.

Can access clipboard and Silver Efex seems to work fine.

Care to tell us what the issue is/was?

Strange, it seems to work for some and not others. Once we were able to reproduce this on our test machines, this fix seemed to work. I'll have to get back to the dev & qa teams to see if they have any further thoughts. I might need to get a hold of you directly, could you send me a private message with your contact info in case we need to dig deeper?

Thanks,

-Josh

This problem with the Clipboard was driving me crazy.  I uninstalled Nik HDR EffectS Pro and it went away.  Yoo-hah.

Josh, just tried to send you a private message, but this system apparently doesn'tmake that possible. I went to your profile page and clicked on "send private message" but it didn't recognize you as a valid email recipient.

Checked on my own profile page here and there is an email address there, so you can contact me.

I had the exact same problem on my one year old Acer Aspire 5738-6745 laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended 64-bit.

The weird thing is, it only happened to me after I reinstalled windows. It never occurred before.

Anyways, I found a solution. You just have to open Notepad and type in the following:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Photoshop\12.0]
“AlwaysImportClipboard”=dword:00000001

Then save it as AlwaysImportClipbd_ON.reg, close Photoshop if it is opened, and install the registry file.

Doing this worked for me!

Hope it helps!

You should try to uninstall the plugin then.

All I know is that the plugin is not the initial problem, because I have never had it installed.

But seriously, using the registry thingy solved the problem for me.

Sorry I can't help more

-Jordan

Then I should count myself as lucky! Sorry I can't help further.

I hope this gets solved for all you folks who are still struggling!

Can those reporting the reg key change as a fix confirm that they aren't running any 3rd party or non-default plug-ins?

 

 

I can report that I'm not running any plug-ins, have tried the registry fix, and still have the problem.

I am running Photoshop CS5 with no plugins. I have the problem intermittently. The clipboard works several times, then does not, retaining the previous clipboard entry. Purging does not help. Restarting Photoshop works. I have not tried the registry hack.

As far as I can tell, using Windows 7 x64 and Photoshop CS5, there is no limit to the size of the clipboard it will import, whether or not the AlwaysImportClipboard registry value is set or not.

Read through the thread:

For newer versions of Photoshop (e.g., CS5) some plug-ins by a particular company were identified as interfering with the clipboard.

For older versions of Photoshop there's a built-in limit to the size of the clipboard it will import, unless a particular registry value is added.

I'm running CS5 64 on a clean Win 7 64 system. Had problems with the clipboard just as described in this thread. No funky plugins or processes running. Adding the registry entry solved it - however I had to add the registry entry as a QWORD insted of a DWORD, or PS would hang when I attempted pasting.

Cheers.
