Paste a paragraph in Photoshop

I am trying to copy and paste a paragraph and only get a single line and not the paragraph here are the steps I take:
- Copy text
- select text tool
- drag text box
- paste text
I get all the words but bunched in one line. I have tried selecting the text layer and selecting Convert to Paragraph and it does nothing. I am sure there is a single option or button I am missing. I can only type titles not a wrapping paragraph in the box like I want please help.

It wouldn't need carriage returns. It should auto wrap according to the size of the text box.
One way that would prevent it from wrapping would be if the font size was too small for it to reach the right edge of the text box. If that is the case, double click the type layer to select all the text, and increase font size.
If still not working for you, upload a screen grab. If using windows 7 or 8, the Snipping tool is an easy way to do that

Paste from Illustrator to Photoshop, I cannot see the pasted object

Sorry for this dumb question but I have tried everything I can think of before asking this question. I have a single grouped object in Illustrator and I select the object and "Copy". Then I open up a new photoshop project and choose "Paste". Then I get four questions:
Smart Object, Pixles, Path and Shape Layer to choose from. No matter which one I choose I get a large box with an X. I cannot see the object just the box that is x'd out. This must mean something but I cannot figure it out. When I place it dissapears.
Please what is the secret to pasting objects into Windows Photoshop CS4?
Thanks, Brent

Magically, pasting started working. Maybe, my computer was running out of memory or something.
Thanks for your helpful answer.

In the past I was using Photoshop 7 to make Web Photo Gallery. My friend could right click on the pictures from my website and save it in their computer.
Recently I have bought and registered your Lightroom 5 and have updated it to 5.6. But can not program it to create Photo Web Galleries that after uploading to my website would allow my friends to down load the pictures from the album to their computer. How could I do it? Please step by step. Thank you M. Mehdi Akhavein

Are you producing HTML galleries with Lightroom (not Flash galleries)?

Copy & Paste From Illustrator to Photoshop not matching document size

I just recently reformated my computer and I've been having an issue with copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop. Before I could copy a 2"x2" vector box from Illustrator into photoshop making a new document and the size and resolution would match. That is the new document would say 2"x2" at 300 ppi in photoshop and the preset would read "clipboard". I would then hit ok and paste and it would match perfectly. Now since I've reformated, photoshop always creates a new document with the wrong size regardless of the settings I enter in Illustrator or photoshop. I have document raster and effects set at 300 ppi in Illustrator and I have the new document set at 300 in photoshop, but it always transfers the 2"x2" box as some other size no matter what resolution I change it too. Again this used to work before so I'm assuming there is some setting I forgot about. Does anyone know? The main issue is the clipboard preset is not matching the document size, its almost as if Illustartor is telling photoshop it's a different resolution when it's not. Copying to 72 ppi seems to have no issue, which makes me think Illustrator just isn't sending it out at 300 ppi, but I don't know why as I have the document set at 300 ppi.

Have you found an answer that wasn't posted here yet? I have the same issue.

Pasting from Illustrator to Photoshop doesn't maintain aspect ratio

I have vector artwork that is not aligned to a pixel grid in Illustrator. In CS5, I would be able to paste the vector object as a smart object into Photoshop file that was larger than the illustrator image and resize larger while holding shift to keep the ratio the same.
However with Creative Cloud, if I have a square in Illustrator that happens to be 17.3px by 17.3, then paste to Photoshop in a file that has a larger canvas than the paste, I get uneven horizontal and vertical ratios (width = 18; height = 17). It seems to overestimate the width and make it appear fatter horizontally (which is the wrong aspect ratio). This is very noticeable when vector objects (like perfect circles and small icons) get scaled up in Photoshop.
I have tried unchecking and checking "Snap Vector Tools and transforms to Pixel Grid" but this doesn't seem to fix it.
The only way I've been able to get this ratio to be kept is to create a new document with the size automatically changed to clipboard dimensions (which are the desired 17x17). When you paste as smart object, it now uses the correct aspect ratio.

When you paste an object into Photoshop take a look at your options bar to see if the Maintain Aspect Ratio button is checked. I'm guessing that it isn't which is why Illustrator objects are being pasted at different heights and widths. As you can see in the image below, a perfect circle from Illustrator is being placed in Photoshop at 100.05% and 99.44%. By checking the link button between the two percentages the numbers get locked to the same percentage so that the object is pasted in at the correct dimensions.

Can't paste a paragraph into Dreamweaver code

Hi there,
Big thank you to whoever can help with this one...
I am trying to paste a paragraph of text I have copied from a website, "Lorem Ipsum" in fact, but when I paste it within paragraph tags - or code view general - Dw returns the data as one long line with no paragraph formatting!!
Bit of nightmare. I have tried pasting special - to include paragraph structure - but no luck fixing the issue.
Would really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Josh

Does your Lorem ipsum contain paragraph tags? If not, it's just plain text.
Paste this into Code View:
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Mauris vitae libero lacus, vel hendrerit nisi! Maecenas quis velit nisl, volutpat viverra felis. Vestibulum luctus mauris sed sem dapibus luctus. Pellentesque aliquet aliquet ligula, et sagittis justo auctor varius. Quisque varius scelerisque nunc eget rhoncus. Aenean tristique enim ut ante dignissim. </p>
Paste this into Design View:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Mauris vitae libero lacus, vel hendrerit nisi! Maecenas quis velit nisl, volutpat viverra felis. Vestibulum luctus mauris sed sem dapibus luctus. Pellentesque aliquet aliquet ligula, et sagittis justo auctor varius. Quisque varius scelerisque nunc eget rhoncus. Aenean tristique enim ut ante dignissim.

Is it possible to preserve the layer name when I copy and paste from Illustrator into Photoshop?

Is it possible to preserve the layer name when I copy and paste from Illustrator into Photoshop?
At the moment it just appears as "Vector Smart Object" in Photoshop and I have to take another step and change the layer name.
Thank you!

Not that I know. PS doesn't care for these kinds of things and uses its own naming system.

nope... this is a known issue for users. Hopefully will be resolved soon (not holding my breath though). Some people have suggested resetting pram, uninstalling flash, quitting Safari, updating java, installing third party mouse driver software etc... but for me nothing has worked yet.
I have 2 monitors and this happens quite a lot, but ONLY on my iMac monitor. If i move the mouse cursor to my second screen it's visible there, move it back to my iMac screen and it disappears.
My workaround is to hover over the dock to claim my cursor back, but that is really just an annoying thing to do every 5 mins.
I am convinced this is a OSX issue but the two companies are just pointing fingers which will not result in any fix any time soon.
Thinking about selling my two Apple machines because of this bug.

Pasting illustrator object in Photoshop causes lines to change color

I've never had this problem before, but today when I cut and paste from illustrator to photoshop, the lines aren't black anymore, they're a shade of grey. When I double click the smart object to go back to illustrator, they show correctly as being black. The opacity of the smart object is 100% so I have no idea what's going on or how to fix it. Help!

I'm a moron. A MORON!!!!
I just noticed today that even though my black on white illustrator lines looked black, they were, in-fact, not black. Therefore, when I transferred them over to PS, of course they weren't black! They were a dark grey, same as in Illustrator.
Thanks everyone for entertaining an idiot, but the problem defintiely is solved now.

Is there a reason why I can't copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop

Before the last update, I was able to copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop, and now I can't. Which really suck. Is there a new way I would have to do it?

I'm not privy to what impact the latest update my have had, but I believe Photoshop still has "its own" clipboard, and there may still be a tendency under certain conditions for it to become inaccessible from/to the rest of the system. Reboot everything and try again.

Paste into option for Photoshop CC

Paste into option for Photoshop CC...When the image is pasted, it is not to scale for the selected area. How do I change this? I have adjsuted the size of the image being copied but it does not help.

Paste into doesn't auto scale the image to fit inside the selection, you usually have to scale the pasted image manually using Free Transform.

When I copy/paste a paragraph from a PDF doc, it pastes with no spaces between words. How can I fix this? I've searched everywhere for the solution but didn't find anyone had this issue.

When I copy/paste a paragraph from a PDF doc (onto Facebook status bar, for example) it pastes with no spaces between words. I.e: "The manhadajugofcoolwaterand offeredmeadrink." How can I fix this? I've searched everywhere for the solution but didn't find anyone had this issue. I'm new to Apple so any help will be much appreciated. Thanks!

I can't speak about this occurring with FaceBook since I don't use FaceBook, but I see the same type of thing when I copy and pasted from websites. It doesn't always happen and I cannot find any particular set of circumstances under which it occurs or does not occur.
I am merely responding to let you know that it happens to me as well and I have seen no way to correct it. I'm not so sure that there is a way to correct in in that it may have something to do with how the original text is formatted in the PDF or on the website and how it eventually "fits" into the text field or the area in which it is pasted.

Images pasted into mail from photoshop are drastically reduced in size.

At work, I am constantly sending previews of artwork through email. I CmdShiftC in Photoshop to copy merged (this essentially takes a screen shot of your current selection in a Photoshop document, then I Cmd+V to paste it into mail.
I have been doing this exact process for over a year now, it works every time, the images are pasted at actual size and are not modified in any way regardless of how huge they were.
This morning they suddenly started showing up as dinky, useless thumbnails.
There is no option in mail I can find to control this, and the multitude of other posts in this forum about the same complaint mention a little popup in the bottom right when you have an attached image. I do not have this popup, there is nothing in the bottom right of my window.
Why is this happening, and how do I fix it?

it's not a popup, it's a little scroll button. and you should be getting it when you attach images. however, in my experience, sometimes this button doesn't show up for whatever reason. the following method works for me when I run into this problem (which happens with some regularity btw). start a new blank outgoing message and attach an image to it. don't do it from photoshop. just drag some large image from finder to the message composition window. hopefully, the scroll button will show up. adjust it to "actual size" and close that message composition window. next time you attach an image to a measge it will use the same setting to display the image, i.e. 'actual size".
I do not have this popup, there is nothing in the bottom right of my window.

Copy and paste stopped working in photoshop CC

I've been using Photoshop CC since march and this is a new issue. Not previously a problem until today.
When I select and area to copy, from a JPEG or photoshop PSD photograph, and make a new file to paste it into, the new file comes up the same size as the clipboard contents, as it is meant too, but photoshop will no longer allow me to paste. The selection EDIT, Paste is still there in black, not greyed out. I temporarily fixed it by restarting my computer and it worked until I closed Photoshop down again and reopened it, problem is back...what is going on?
Is it to do with preferences and how do I change them to fix this?
the only thing I've changed recently was telling JPEG files to use photoshop as the default programme to open up in my computer. I changed this because Bridge was no longer showing photoshop as an option when you rightclick an image and chose which file to use to open it. The fix was to close Bridge, chose a jpeg and change the default to photoshop to open it.
I'm running windows 7 home premium 64 bit.
any help recieved with thanks....

Thanks again,I did manage to delete the preferences using your method above. but again, copy and paste using PSD files still not resolved.
Copy and paste works for PNG GIFF JPEG files but not for PSD
OK thanks to Curt Y, I suggest the solution is to do the preferences first, then the purging.
I went back and purged the clipboard again after resetting the preferences and now it appears to be fixed.
thank you
