: Photoshop copy css for transformed text that respects aspect ratio I'm really exited about the copy css feature. It helps me, a web developer, to get most of the font styles, gradients and

It seems like once Photoshop locks onto a transform, it never lets go of it (at least in the currently released versions).

The CSS starts with the original font size, and Photoshop reports the effective (post-transform) font size, but you can't clear the transform from the CSS by reverting the type to its original size (as reported in the CSS), then manually assigning it the final design point size. For no reasonable reasons, this retains the transform matrix and now reports a scaled-down "original" size.

Since Photoshop has no way to clear transformations, the only real workaround is to copy the text, create a new (point or area) text field and paste, then change the size to the reported point size of your original. Move the new text exactly over the old and delete the old layer.

And tell your designers "Don't do that."

This really is a bug, and I've reported it as such, although I suspect it's "as designed" because of the way Ps handles its data internally.
