P: Create new window not reflecting right dimensions from clipboard

Hello, I am having an issue with photoshop where File > New > is not auto-inputting the clipboard size into the canvas size for the new document. This has worked on every version of photoshop until this point. I sadly ended up on version 23.3.2 (photoshop just updated itself in the last couple days I guess without me noticing, and I am pretty sure I had that auto update turned off since I reverted back to 22.2 a couple weeks ago, sigh)

 

Have you guys considered testing your product before launching updates? I reverted back to 22.2 because of all the bugs I was experiencing with the latest versions. Seems turning auto update off cant even save me.

Meanwhile, photoshop team will preach "Continuity" when destroying everyone's workflow "so its the same across platforms!" 🤦‍♂

I'm sure that the development team are fixing this. Until then you have two workarounds, totally disable the "new" new doc interface by enabling the "legacy" prefs option, or use a script to create new from the clipboard while retaining the new interface for everything else.

Thanks for the simple workaround! That worked for me. Takes me out of my normal keyboard workflow,  but good enough for now...

Which of your posts (or part of one) are you thinking is "spam"?

Today is 26 June 2022 and I noticed this problem yesterday.  I did switch to the legacy version it works as a workaround this evening, and it works.  But this afternoon it really slowed down my productivity today.   I hope this get fixed fast and correctly.
