PS 27.4.1 Mac

When recording actions, canvas size gets ignored and does not work.

repro:

create an action that resizes an image
start recording.
change image size from 4x4 inches at 300 ppi to 5x5 inches at 300 ppi
open canvas size (set to inches)
resize canvas from 5x5 to 9x9 (any color background will do)
stop recording

Now run that on a new images. Canvas size appears in the action but is ignored.

Hi @bellevue scott

I’ve seen you post in the Photoshop forum, but this post landed in the Adobe Aero forum. We can’t move posts (yet), so can you repost to Photoshop?

Hi Jane

I was in the Adobe PS forum and added a new post. But the drop down only had AERO and one other thing I can’t remember and PS wasn’t an option. I thought I had made a mistake, so I closed the post without saving, renavigated to the PS forum and did it again, twice. Each time same thing. My only option was the Aero forum.

So, unfortunately I can’t post it to the PS forum because the site won’t let me for some reason.

That’s very strange @bellevue scott! Does this link take you to Photoshop?
