P: Ability to access iPadOS clipboard

If I copy text from outside Photoshop (i.e. another iPadOS app), I can’t paste it into a text layer inside Photoshop. The reverse is also true.

In my case, I wanted to copy chunks of text from my resume (developed in Photoshop), into an online spellchecker — but can’t do so.

Just started using PS on iPad today, and one of the first things I went to do was copy and paste from another app. This seems like a pretty big feature to miss!

Text is crucial, but being able to copy and paste images from other apps is also very important.

Not to be a dick but whoever made the call to roll out photoshop on mobile without copy and paste I hope got fired.

My Mac is getting work done andI thought I would be able to make do with PSD on IPad but I guess not. Back to Procreate it is seeing as Photoshop for iPad is worthless.

 It seems like a joke that cannot be copied and pasted from another app

Am composing a children’s book featuring both illustration and text and that it’s impossible to paste text into text boxes is seriously disappointing.

This is one of the most basic must haves.. I can get it free on countless other apps so shocked I couldn’t copy/paste. I am really losing my patience with this app it has been a big let down for me so far. I have not found any use for it I just go back and forth between Lightroom and PE. I don’t have a computer anymore just an iPad. Couldn’t afford both so I had to choose.. hoping for a big update soon!

First thing I tried to do was add a block of text over an image. I kinda shocked it doesn’t work. Very basic fail guys

Hello,

I am using Photoshop on my iPad Pro. When I want to copy some text (for example some paragraph from safari / notes, ...) and paste to exist text layer, in Photoshop it paste the same text which I have in layer. When I have there nothing, so it works like I didn't make any copy., 

But in other apps works Copy/Paste correct. It is only in Photoshop.

 

Have anybody same problem? Or do you know how fix this problem? It is really annoying.

 

 

Thanks.

I thought I was the only one. I’m creating a comic book series using Fresco but since they don’t have a text option, I used Photoshop Mobile but I couldn’t paste the text from my script over to Photoshop. I had to manually type it all out. Considering moving this project to Procreate 😞
