    I bet you have the wrong colour indexes selected, should be rgb normally.

    VH : With XP and Photoshop 7 and up, you can now paste any screenshot on any type of color profiled canvas. Photoshop auto calibrates the scrap file.

    E.g. paste a desktop screenshot on a CMYK, RGB, Lab, Grayscale or Index Colored canvas anytime with no errors.

    Or I may be wrong and would be overlooking at something here. Memory or video card settings can also be a factor at some point.

    Pressing print scr alone works too.

    Then in PS go FILE > NEW > OK

    And press CTRL V to paste.

    TA DA!!

    zeederz - if you read the first post you'll see that's what is being described.

    Kalyse - when I had the problem it was all the time

    Yeah, see this is the problem though. When doing this, it doesn't make the canvas the size of the screenshot, nor does it actually paste anything when I go Edit > paste...

    UPDATE: For some odd reason it worked last night, now today it doesn't again...settings appear the same, it's really weird. I think I might just re-install Photoshop.

    What exactly are you trying to do a screen capture of? I have had problems trying to take a screen capture of video and copy it into Photoshop before (win2k, PS 6.0). But I am always able to take other screen captures from my browser, desktop or other open programs. I am not sure what it was with the video, I guess I figured it was some kind of copy protection with it. I'll be interested to know if you figure it out.

    Taing a screenshot of a video (avi, wmv, divx, etc) is a bit tricky. Even now in PS CS2. The video is rendered differently in the case of processing the contents. There are other softwares you can use to take screenshots of these video and an exmaple is image grabber or bsplayer. These are usually the programs used to take screenshots of a video in most download sites.

    I had this same problem - driving me nuts. And I don't want to have to download yet another program for something it should be doing natively.

    So I came across this: http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17177&page=3&pp=10

    So try closing windows media player and see if it works. It did for me.

    Kudos to M$ for this little "feature".
