Alfred Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 1 hour ago, Mark Ingram said: Changed the preference 'Import PSD Text As Text' to be enabled by default I’m curious to know the rationale behind this change. The explanation for the previous default of having PSD text imported as an image was that it guaranteed the text would look correct even if the font was unavailable, and that the user could simply change the setting and reimport the PSD file if editable text were needed; the downside to importing as text by default is that it’s too easy to overlook the fact that its appearance has changed.

I don't want to speak on behalf of the developers, but from a Technical Support view the number of tickets that we get from users who did not realise this was an option and cannot understand why their text is 'selectable' well outweighs contact from users whose text does not render the same as in PS - so setting this at default should reduce the amount of users who have to contact support regarding PSD text. There may be other reasons however, I just wanted to make this known too TDNT, mr.mare, Kokosz and 3 others 4 2 Please Note: I am now out of the office until Tuesday 2nd April on annual leave.
