When I copy and paste a jpg image from Excel to Photoshop CS2 or CS3, it looks like a grid is coming through the photo. This is not the case when I copy the photo to any other application such as MS Word or MS Paint. Any ides?

Peter:
I’m having difficulty with your idea of having to copy a .jpg image from an Excel spreadsheet and pasting it into a Photoshop document.

Instead, I would try to find the .jpg file somewhere outside your .xls spreadsheet and open it using Photoshop.

I know that when one saves a Word or Powerpoint document as a "web page", a subdirectory is created that contains the full-resolution original images in the document, which can then be pulled into Photoshop; copying and pasting from the Word or Powerpoint document does not get the full-resolution original image. Perhaps you should try doing this to see if the same is true of Excel.

Copy only the image object in Excel – don’t copy the cells.

Or turn off the Grid in Excel?

Johnny,

In Excel select the image then hold Shift before going to the Edit menu. You will see a new menu Item: Copy Image (or something similar, I have a Dutch Excel).
Then try the different options for best results.

Hope this helps…

That did the trick. How did you find this out? Any good explanation why Microsoft is "disguising" the copy image command in another hidden key sequence?

Thanks again.
