I open an email message that contains an image. Up until now the procedure has been…. right click the image, click copy, switch to photoshop, file /new, edit/ paste, bada boom, bada bing and I have my image in Photoshop.

Along comes CS3.

Now when i try the edit / paste step, CS3 doesn’t paste anything.

My current workaround is to open the lowly free windows paint program, paste into paint …. then edit /copy from paint…. and then I can do a file / new / edit paste into photoshop cs3 and it works. A royal pain.

Any workarounds for this CS3 clipboard problem?

I just tried it and it is working using outlook express and photoshop cs3. Did you try clearing your preference files? See if that is the problem. Off hand I can’t think of a reason why it does not work.

You could drag the image to the desktop and open it in PS from there.

A lot of people have problems with the clipboard in PS.

Nice find Kenneth, but that has been tried unsuccessfully by quite a few.

I just use SnagIt.

Hmmm. I don’t see the fix mentioned above on my CS3 CDs. What is this about? Has Adobe acknowledged that they have a problem? They have a fix on the install disks but it doesn’t work. What’s up with this? For now I will use good old printscreen.
