If I use InDesign CC. Select an image, right click and select copy, then switch to PS CS6, create a new document, the resolution is 72ppi. - regardless of the resolution of the placed image If I instead take a screenshot of the image and create a new document in PS CS6 the resolution will be 144ppi. This is the same behavior in PS CC 2019. 20.0.1 However, if I emulate what I believe you are doing (regardless of the reason why) and set a specific resolution for one document, the next document will be the same resolution in CS6 but you are correct, the result is not the same in CC and there is no way to maintain the resolution from the previous image. Now the good news. If you know the resolution you want AND it is always the same then you can create an action that will run prior to pasting your copied file. In my example I created and action that would a. double the pixel dimension via percentage (200%) b. change the resolution to a specified amount (144ppi) This would give you the same result as what you have been getting in CS6. So your workflow that you have become used to doesn't change. To make the action run upon creating a new document use File > Scripts > Script events manager... The action Note that this will double the size and change the resolution for any new document unless you uncheck the "Enable Events to Run Scripts/Action" button ... View more

While you could save a preset style to apply the same "effect" the result will always be dependent on the underlying image - that to which it is blending. If your intention is to preserve a rasterized version of the text you have without the background image you can achieve it by essentially erasing the background images data. Using Image > Calculations you can make a new channel. Then apply that channel as a mask on a merged text and background layer. Invert it. Most of the image will now be transparent. Apply an amount off levels adjustment to the MASK to increase the contrast. Then carefully on the mask use a black brush to "erase" or hide the remaining areas of the background that are not part of the text. The result is the text on a layer with the included degradation. This can be placed over any image if the image is below it. Note that this is not editable text and will always have the distressed look based on the original blue boarding you show. ... View more

Its still a curves layer. The icon you are seeing indicates that it is an adjustment layer. When you click on it you will see the curves panel.
