@c.pfaffenbichler Sorry for the delay........ Below is my parent document (a cropped S, but the rest of the S exists outside the visible area)
When I open the Smart Object (below), I want it to match the crop above, not the crop of the whole canvas (although I wish to retain all exist pixels)
The reasoning behind this is that I won't be the 'creator' of the initial Smart Object. I may not even work with the creator. They could come from a different agency from which I have no control.
We do have workarounds but when files are 10/15gb, they involve multiple opening and saving.
Obviously the Smart Object may be scaled so there is another difficulty. Surely Photoshop knows the co-ordinatess of the canvas outside of the visible area (as in the first image), so even with scaling, a crop area could be worked out?
