Can I turn of "vector smart object" copy-paste into Photoshop?
When I copy from Skitch and paste into Photoshop I get a "vector smart object" layer, which I then have to rasterize to do anything with. When I drag it to the Photoshop icon, I get a new document that is already rasterized. I'd LOVE to have a setting or something where it would copy-paste in a non smart-vector format.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Hey Tony.
I know the issue yeah... I need to do this sometimes too.
There isn't such an option and I doubt we will add it unless we find its a issue for a lot of people. We can't add an option for everything :) Annoying I know, but I hope you understand.
What I'd suggest is making a keyboard shortcut for rasterize layer so it speeds it up a bit.
What is your workflow for this need btw? Maybe it can be solved another way. -
Inappropriate?Generally, I'm taking screenshots for web sites. So I'll grab a snippet with Skitch and drop it into photoshop via copy and paste. Once there I generally want to futz with it (crop, maybe even shade a bit), so rasterization is required.
I get that I can drag-drop the Skitch pane to the Photoshop icon-- but I HATE drag/drop UI-- it's SLOW. I really prefer the snapshot, control-c, alt-tab, control-v. Kinda weird, don't you think that the drag/drop results in a rasterized new file, but the copy-paste results in the vector option? And I can't drag the Skitch pane into an existing Photoshop document at all.
Anyhoo-- it's an annoyance-- but not a big enough one for me to ponder punting Skitch-- you guys have an outstanding product!
I’m meh

Inappropriate?Glad you won't punt it :)
Copy/paste supports multiple formats in the clipboard and different apps can decide which to take. eg, if i copy a full web page, images and text and paste into something that supports rich text, it can take the images but if you paste into something that only does basic text, it just takes the text only part.
Similar thing in this case. Photoshop is probably taking the pdf version.
Hope that explains what is happening
