Why can I no longer copy/paste from Photoshop into iChat or Adium?
For years I have been collaborating with people by designing things in Photoshop and often copy/pasting screenshots into iChat for discussion. This week, I suddenly can't. When I paste, I just get the error tone and nothing happens.
I can, however, use Firefox extensions like ScreenGrab! and paste from the browser. Just not from Photoshop.
Any ideas why this function would suddenly be blocked?

Are you copying something with transparency? I can see some applications not knowing what to do with that.

Response by poster: Check preferences to see what format you're copying in?
Aaargh. That's it. I was following a 'how to speed up Photoshop' tutorial last week that told me to uncheck the Export Clipboard option in Preferences. Checked it again and it's fixed. Sorry guys.
