Photoshop Transparency Failure
Posted February 3rd, 2010 @ 03:25pm by Erik J. Barzeski
I have the latest version of Adobe Photoshop. I have the latest version of Mac OS X. And yet I can't copy and paste an image with transparency into Photoshop.
I often come across this problem after I "copy image" from Safari or when I hold down the control key when taking a screenshot to put the image on the clipboard.
Pasting into Photoshop turns this image:
Into this pile of garbage:
The only way around this is to take an actual screenshot and open the actual PNG file in Photoshop.
This bug has existed for quite some time - perhaps since 10.6 - and unfortunately I've yet to see anyone talking about fixing it. Is Adobe even aware of the issue? They should be. Searches reveal plenty of others complaining about it.

Easy way to an image from the clipboard into a PNG file: Open Preview and hit command-N. (File->New from Clipboard)

Which doesn't help you if you want to get the image into Photoshop. If you just want a PNG you just take a screenshot and save it to a file.
Copying and pasting from the Preview document into Photoshop results in the same horrific failure.
