Photoshop CS6 opened new images from the clipboard with the resolution of the previously opened image. Can I do that with CC? It's a pain to prepare images for Retina by copying files from InDesign and then having to resize them in CC, when CS6 does that easily.
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
