      The type tool remembers the last size and font you use and will be used on copy pasted into photoshop. I recommend you change the font and size in photoshop to what you want before pasting the copy.

      Photoshop will adjust the size to fit the Area provided. Make sure the box area is the same size as the the text you are coping.

      It might be, but it's not the case this time. It doesn't matter what size
      the Paragraph Text box is - paste one word in place of 2 sentences if you
      wish, still transforms -, and the behaviour is completely alien to Point
      Text in Photoshop anyway. Sounds like something InDesign would do.

      Definitely a post-2017 behaviour. I recently upgraded my computer with the latest versions of everything and Photoshop surprises me with alien "features" for the third week now. Haven't found a solution yet, but copy-paste indeed picks strange font sizes like "2.92 px" coming from "36 px".

      But, I do know what causes it - it only happens with Copy & Paste from resized text layers. That includes global PSD file image size changes. It keeps some hidden ratio/starting point info. So if you have resized your text layers, they will be damaged. And setting a proper size for the resized texts with the dropdown won't reset them - copy and paste will still be scaled per the original ratio, in my case I can replicate it down ways.

        Hello, thanks for the add-on, it echoes what @jane-e was saying,  Maybe should there be a simple way to reset the transforms on a text layer, like it is possible on a smart object, or with the workaround shown in the last section of the excellent linked video she had added.

        I think it's not very intuitive to program text to maintain scaling if u copy text from scaled layer. Why would I want this as the default? So easy to just duplicate a text layer if u want same size.

         

        Just like how after scaling a type layer the fields reset to 100% and the only way to get it back 1:1 is to start over. Crazy.

        Try using CTRL +  Shift + V, It removes any previous formatting that might be getting picked up when you're copying text.

          Hi @defaultpl9y6q2a1grg 

          Please show two screen shots: one from each image

          • Type tool
          • Select a few characters of the text
          • Show this with the Character panel (Window menu)

           

          ~ Jane

          I am using the Text tool and CNTR X cutting some text from one line then using the Text tool and finding another spot and hitting paste.  The original font size is 90 and the new pasted font is 74.96

          Thanks

          I've moved this from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the Photoshop forum so that proper help can be offered.
