Question

25.5.1. In Rotated view, path disappears when zoomed in, shows when zoomed back out or view reset

Hello all. 

Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this (and if there's a fix).

I'm drawing a path around an object (harmonica) for an extremely precise cutout.  If I zoom in and then rotate view, the path I've been creating disappears (no longer visible, but still there).  Hide/unhide doesn't help.  This seems to be when I've used the 'R' (rotate view) tool, and I'm some angle other than default.

If I reset the rotated view back to default, my path reappears and I can zoom in as much as I want.

And, if I'm zoomed in, and then rotate the view, the path disappears again, forcing me to work with no view rotation.

Is this expected behavior?

Win 11, PS 25.5.1.

Thanks!

    Hey, @JerryandLoisPhotography. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll help you figure this out. Before troubleshooting, update Photoshop to the latest version (v25.6) via the Creative Cloud desktop app & check if the issue exists.

     

    If updating Photoshop does not help; please share the system info from Photoshop Help > System info > Copy & paste into a text document > upload & attach here. 

     

    Does this happen at a specific zoom level? I'll move this to discussions for now. Try this:

    Go to Photoshop > Settings (CTRL + K) > Technology Previews > Enable 'Deactivate Native Canvas' & check if it helps.

     

    Let us know how it goes. Thanks!
