Cropped image - Spherize effect centred on entire image

Question

Hi folksSo, I have a cropped image which I want to distort with a fish-eye type effect.  The problem is that the centre of the sphere is being set relative to the full image area, not the cropped version.  This means that the effect is not symmetrical on my cropped image. I have cropped it with the "delete cropped pixels" option enabled, but this doesn't seem to be working - after confirming the crop, I can still reveal the original image by editing the crop area.  I thought that deleting the cropped area would be the solution to my problem, but since this isn't working I can't confirm this.Any ideas?

Ah - yep, it doesI guess the easiest thing to do in your case is Rasterize the Smart Object before cropping and then run the Spherize filter.Right click to the right of the Smart Object Thumbnail in the layers panel and then click on Rasterize Layer.You can read about smart objects and smart filters here and see if that's something your interested in using.https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/create-smart-objects.htmlhttps://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/applying-smart-filters.html#applying_smart_filters

What version of photoshop and operating system are you using?Are you working with a layer that was turned into a smart object before you did the cropping?
