Question

Looking For That Lost Pixel!

While working on a character... I got an extra large bounding box showing up! I knew someone had mentioned this before and said it could be a problem with some stray pixels being left in a layer, so I went looking and couldn't find anything.

I went back to a simple psd... 1 group and 1 layer in that group, in an attempt to try and find out what was going on.

Now when I  selected the Group and moved it in the Puppet Panel, the related Group Handle moved with it.

If I selected the Layer within the Group and moved it, the Group Handle didn't move.

When I then clicked back on the Group.. the bounding box covered the around the area I had moved the object.

I tried moving the handle back to the central position in the object, but this had no affect on the bounding box.

Right clicking the Layer inside the Group and then, Reset Layer... does return the layer back to its  pre-moved position and bounding box returns to its correct size.

So, the expanded bounding box seems to be related to moving the layer inside the Group!?

Not sure if this of any use to anyone, but it kept me busy for a bit... sad... I know!

    Yes, this is how it works currently - the group and layer are separate entities, we have to account for the group and its origin even if you move something inside of it. In general I'd recommend doing your layout in PS or AI as it's not CH's greatest strength right now - it can be slow going.

    Is it possible to share a .puppet file with the puppet you've made pre-error message? That sounds like a bug.

    I do as you suggest and work in the original file. It's only when I read the threads here that I start looking deeper... The Reset Layer works well with Layers, it was only when I started trying it with Groups. i thought as it was there... it may reset all the layers withing the Group.

    I've just told Dave that I don't keep my working/tutorial stuff... not really a project... I clear my system and start afresh each day.

    Next time it happens I'll export the Puppet file and send it to you.

    What does... Right Click - Make Sharable do and would this be of any use?
