P: Create new window not reflecting right dimensions from clipboard

Copy link to 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.

Hi everyone, 

 

The fix for this should be available to all now and will come from the Creative Cloud desktop app, and not through a Photoshop update. 

 

To update: 

  • Visit the Creative Cloud Desktop app's "Updates" tab, and click Check for Updates. 
  • If that doesn't resolve it, try signing out of Creative Cloud desktop app, and signing back in.

 

If you performed this workaround, you may need to revert those workaround steps to receive the updated plugin. 

 

If updated successfully, you will se

Just switched to Legacy "New Document" Interface and it works fine that way.

Hi,

I'm User for Win 10.

 

Peinjung_0-1655431250953.png

Open the image, specify the size with the Marquee tool, copy it with ctrl + c,

 

The size of the clipboard that I did ctrl + c in File > New Document screen is not applied to the preset.

How can I Do?

Phosothop won't automatically open new document with the same size the image from the clipboard has.

Now I'm forced to click on some other size and then again click on the clipboard box (left) so the preset details give me the same attributes:

I didn't need to do this before.

What is going on here?

@Titanuim – You have filed a bug report, however, you have neglected to mention your version and build of Photoshop? We know you are on Win 10.

 

Perhaps try resetting your preferences. You should have the option as below:

 

new-from-clipboard.png

 

Here it is in a scripted form:

 

#target photoshop

try {
    // New Doc from Clipboard - Courtesy of the late Michael L. Hale
    var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
    var desc1 = new ActionDescriptor();
    desc1.putString(stringIDToTypeID("preset"), "Clipboard");
    desc.putObject(charIDToTypeID("Nw  "), charIDToTypeID("Dcmn"), desc1);
    executeAction(charIDToTypeID("Mk  "), desc, DialogModes.ALL);
} catch (error) {
    alert("The clipboard is empty or does not have suitable content to create a new document!");
}

 

Change  DialogModes.ALL  to  DialogModes.NO  if you don't want the interface.

Since a few days I have the same problem.
I discovered a workaround:
After closing the new document screen with <escape> and restarting the new document screen, the preset details are corrected.

It looks like a bug in a recent update.

Just to clarify - 
What I used to do:
Copy image > File > New > Clipboard is selected and the canvas size is automatically adjusted to the Clipboard item

How it works now (bugged)
Copy image > File > New > Clipboard is selected but canvas size not adjusted > I now have to select Custom > then back to Clipboard > NOW the canvas size is adjusted properly.

I'm having the same issue and it's frustrating...I do a lot of cut and pasting into new documents and this change has slowed me down because now I have to look at the sizing each time to select the right document size.

Just so everyone experiencing this issue is aware there is a workaround:

 

WORKAROUND:
Copy Image > File > New > NOW Select Custom (change from Clipboard) > Then re-select Clipboard > Now the auto-size works. It's a gimpy workaround but it works.

Just to point out in case it helps the devs, it does not matter if A) i create a selection in photoshop > Copy , or B) if im in the web browser and right click > copy... i will get the same result where the clipboard does not auto adjust its size to the clipboard item (which it has always done)

I do wonder if the Photoshop team would be better to slow down on the updates, and roll things out more methodically. It seems like they are in some kind of race to just put out as many updates as possible, but [seemingly] without any follow through planning or testing, because it amazes me that every. single. update. a foundational tool or function of photoshop no longer works or ruins a workflow for the day(s)(weeks) until its fixed (if it does get fixed at all).  You need people who actually use the tools you are changing to do the testing. 

  • Save As > JPG/PNG (fixed, after a huge debacle).
  • Legacy Line Tool (doesnt exist, but I hope im wrong).
  • Paste function (not fixed).
  • New Clipboard function (not fixed, granted this is only a few days since its happening).
  • Shape anchors transforming glitchy (not fixed). 


These are all things that have worked flawlessly for generations, and then suddenly started torturing users. I really hope its not on purpose. This isn't a social experiment, is it? Maybe we are just the lab rats and they want to see how much they can poke and prod us 😅

 

It's also SUPER TRIGGERING that you merge our support tickets into one huge thread (without even a notification!!). My advice to photoshop is to just slow down. Go back to your roots. Stop going so far into the 'progressive' wormhole. Please. For the love of photoshop users.

P.S. I still love you

Sorry @SimplTrix and all with the merging... it helps the team to have all the threads in one spot so any info that one post has that can help another is here... it isn't our goal to confuse, but the team is on it.

 

Thank you for your patience,

I'm not sure this is a workaround, but rather a condition for it to work.

First time I experienced this, I too noticed this option had been changed by something, but I had always assumed it should be visible. This doesn't solve all the problems we are seeing, but I think it's the first condition.

Hi Cory, I understand why you guys do it - but you should really send out notifications every time you merge someone's thread. It would still be highly frustrating, but at least we'd know what happened.

Not sure the best way to express this, and I believe it's a bug because in previous months, I did not experience this problem. I even did a recent update today and the issue still exists.

Reproducing the issue:
I draw a Marquee selection around a section of an existing file/image, copy it, then Ctrl+N for a new file.

Under the default YOUR RECENT ITEMS tab, Clipboard is selected by default. I hit ENTER and it Creates a new canvas for me to paste my copied image from.

But recently, instead of the current Clipboard's dimensions, it seems to be retaining the previous Clipboard dimensions so as a result, I get a canvas with different dimensions and when I paste, it gets clipped or there are margins due to size mismatch.

A temporary workaround is to select a different preset, then select Clipboard again and then I will see the details on the right match the Clipboard dimensions.

I've attached a screenshot showing how the Preset Details don't match the Clipboard dimensions.

Is anyone else experiencing this or doesn't anyone else use Ctrl+N new file like I do?

This didn't happen till a couple of weeks ago.

Same issue here. The extra steps of having to click on a random custom size then back to the custom clipboard sizing works, but obviously not ideal when dealing with a lot of images daily. I haven't tried the Legacy workaround mentioned.

 

Anyway, details...

Thanks for responding Cory (I hope I clicked on the right "Reply" button!)
Wouldn't have been intentional if it was but I just had a look and "Use Legacy New Document Interface" is not checked.
