Hi, I have been having this issue for a while now...it's been an issue on Photoshop 2020 and now on 2021 as well. Bottoms of emojis are being cut off, I have tried changing the baseline shift and other Character settings but nothing seems to fix it. I am running the macOS Big Sur public beta (11.0.1) and Photoshop 22.0.0. From what I can tell a solution used to be turning on Legacy Compositing under Performance settings but it seems that option has been removed. I appreciate any help!

Any progress on this issue? I am still having it.

I don't know the answer as to why but have found a workaround (for now). I've been saving the emojis out of keynote as a PDF and opening the file in AI to use in Adobe. Hope that helps!

I am having the same issues. It only happens with Apple Emoji.

Does it happens with both AppleEmoji and EmojiOne fonts? If it happens only with AppleEmoji, Apple might have updated the font recently.

Yep. Can confirm. I'll have engineering take a look. Thanks!

Same behaviour here on 22.0.0. Catalina was fine, this only happened after update to Big Sur.

Very strange. On Catalina, when I open the file it wants me to update the text and the cut-off goes away for the text layer. Installing the final release of Big Sur on my other Mac presently. Will check it when it's done.

Can you post a .psd (dropbox, CC files) that exhibits this behavior?

I wasn't able to repro.
