How Do I Copy Text in Photoshop Without Formatting?

To copy text in Photoshop without formatting, use the "Paste Without Formatting" or "Paste as Plain Text" option. Here's how:

Methods for Pasting Text Without Formatting:

• Using the Menu:

  1. Copy the text from its original source.
  2. In Photoshop, go to the Edit menu.
  3. Select Paste Without Formatting or Paste as Plain Text (the exact wording may vary slightly depending on your Photoshop version).

• Using Keyboard Shortcuts:

  Operating System	Shortcut
  Mac	Cmd + Shift + V
  Windows	Ctrl + Shift + V

Explanation:

These methods ensure that when you paste text into Photoshop, it adopts the text formatting (font, size, color, etc.) of the text layer you're pasting into, rather than retaining the original formatting from where you copied it. This is especially helpful when copying text from web pages, documents, or other applications that have different styles.

Using "Paste Without Formatting" or the keyboard shortcuts strips away any rich text formatting (RTF) or HTML formatting that might be embedded in the copied text.
