P: Relative Canvas Size can't be 0

In the Canvas Size dialog, with “Relative to current dimension” checked, the width nor height can be set to 0. This is a big problem if you only want to change one dimension.

Also, I will say that it is very annoying that the up and down arrow keys no longer increase and decrease the value by a whole number.

Yes, this is wrong and clearly a bug. I seem to remember there’s been a thread or two about this before, but I normally never use Relative, so I haven’t paid attention until I tested it now.

If you set 1, even with the anchor to a side so that it should add a full pixel row, nothing changes. In other words, 1 = 0.
But 2 still = 2.
So the net result is that you cannot add one pixel row. It has to be two.

If you uncheck “modern user interface” in preferences, it works correctly.

I think for this and many other reasons, I will be very excited when a few projects are wrapped up and I can leave Adobe products behind for the better, cheaper competitors 😁

Well, good luck finding complex software that has no bugs ;-)

I have to say that of all the software I have ever used, Photoshop has been the most stable and consistently reliable. New code is often buggy, but usually in Photoshop a legacy option is kept around - as it is here.

The most serious one for me so far is the Export module - but as long as Save For Web is still around, I’m fine.
