Sometimes I use keystroke combination Cntrl-C and Cntrl-V for copy and paste. Sometimes I use the menus to select 'Edit-Copy' and 'Edit-Paste'. I do not use them in any systematic way rather I randomly try one and if that does not work I try the other. What are the circumstances that govern which commands work? It may be that these command sets are identical and I am doing something else that keeps one or the other from working but I do not know what it is.
Thanks,

The only possibility is that you are occasionally fat-fingering one or both. They are the same.

Yes, my Photoshoping is still very clumsy. Not as ugly as my first day at the driving range but I still need a lot of practice. I would like to see a real expert at work. I wonder who the Michelle Wie of Photoshop would be. Their photos would be so-so but they would take your breath away by how they made them.

I think the issue here for me has been the distinction Adobe makes between having a mask active and having it selectable. Also it is pretty easy to have a marquee that looks like it contains a certain set of information but it actually contains something else. So when things start behaving unexpectedly I just start fumbling around at random until something works.
Thanks,
