I get an out of memory error if I try to load Photoshop into a container, so I don't think that is possible.
Attached is some code (LV 7.1.1) to open and close Photoshop with LabVIEW. I do not know how to cut and paste images into it via Active X. I can read in a file.
The ActiveX object can be found in 'Adobe Photoshop 9.0 Object Library Version 9.0'. It is the 'Application' object. At least on my PC.
