Text Box is automatically filled with text

When I draw a text box in Photoshop cc 2019, the text box is filled with text in a foreign language (not English). The text box has not done this in the past. I have tried resetting the Horizontal Type Tool and that did not fix the problem.

It sounds like that's the placeholder text (lorem ipsum). If you want to turn it off, go to Edit > Preferences > Type... and uncheck Fill new type layers with placeholder text.

In 2024 CC , the type settings mentioned below are now under : Photoshop 2024>Settings>Type> unclick "fill new type layers with placeholder text.

Not quite.

It's not Photoshop that made the change; it's macOS, which changed "Preferences" to "Settings" starting with macOS Ventura (but not in the previous ones.) It's still in the application menu on macOS.

On Windows, it remains in Edit menu > Preferences

Thank you Myra Ferguson - I didn't have this problem until Photoshop 2022 on my mac but it was definitely frustrating. I found your fix by going to Photoshop [instead of Edit] >Preferences>Type then I unchecked the placement text box. Anyway, thanks again!

Windows always puts Preferences in the Edit menu; macOS always puts them in the Application menu (in this case, "Photoshop".)

I found on my mac click Photoshop CC -> preferences -> tools -> TYPE -- under type options - uncheck -fill new type layers with placeholder text.

I don't know why the headings/directions are different but this is what my mac shows to get to the result of removing the text Lorem Ipsum.... from automatically showing up when using the horizontal text tool.

Useful? In what world could that ever be usefull? By default, it should be off, and whoever did this should be fired.

Especially since the "Lorem ipsum" did not always disappear for me.

Hi,

As Myra said, it can be turned off. Otherwise, the text is selected, so just start typing to replace the text or press delete and then start typing.

It’s the Lorem ipsum dolor dummy text that you are seeing:

Lorem ipsum - Wikipedia
