I have a Photoshop file where I have a text layer with a very long paragraph. I woul like to copy and past the text to the editor where I write XHTML markup instead of rewriting it. How can I do that? Control + C and Control + V doesn't work. I have Photoshop CS 4. | |||

Find the text layer in the layers list. Double-click layer icon (with the "T" on it). This will automatically select the text in the layer. Then you can use the copy and paste functionality (Control-C to copy). **You can only do this if the text is not rendered into pixels yet. So as long has you haven't done this, it will work. | |||

You should the Text tool (shortcut 'T') then photoshop will give you the hand to edit the text, making it possible to copy/cut/paste. In case, it doesn't give you the hand, then it's probably not a text, and you won't be able to do that. | |||

First select the text layer in the layers palette. Then Ctrl-A to select all. Ctrl-C to copy. | |||

A roundabout way to accomplish this is to save the file as a pdf, then copy the text from there. To be safe, select Preserve Photoshop Editing Capabilities" in the save options. | |||

Make sure you have the clipboard turned on in Photoshop. Go to Edit > Preferences > General. In the General box area make sure that "Export Clipboard" is checked. | |||
