Copy between applications

You can use the Cut, Copy, or Paste commands to copy selections from Photoshop and paste them into other applications, or to paste artwork
from other applications into Photoshop. The cut or copied selection remains on the clipboard until you cut or copy another selection. You can also
copy artwork between Photoshop and Illustrator by dragging and dropping.
In some cases, the contents of the clipboard are converted to a raster image. Photoshop prompts you when vector artwork will be rasterized.
Note: The image is rasterized at the resolution of the file into which you paste it. Vector Smart Objects are not rasterized.
Paste PostScript artwork from another application
1. In the supporting application, select your artwork, and choose Edit > Copy.
2. Select the image into which you'll paste the selection.
3. Choose Edit > Paste.
4. In the Paste dialog box, select from the following Paste As options:
Smart Object Places the artwork in a new layer as a smart object.
Pixels Rasterizes the artwork as it is pasted. Rasterizing converts mathematically-defined vector artwork to pixels.
Paths Pastes the copy as a path in the Paths panel. When copying type from Illustrator, you must first convert it to outlines.
