Hi! i am embedding an illustrator file into my photoshop file but whenever i place the image it looks completely different from the original file and i do not mean the colors i mean the shapes are on completely different layers. Ive had this happen to me multiple times now but i dont know how to fix this. it just fixes itself after some time. Does anyone know a fix or what's causing this to happen?

@Marcella371813886v00 Check your Illustrator file by going to outline mode and see if there are actually objects in those areas that are showing when you place in Photoshop. Also how you place in Photoshop makes a difference. What settings are you choosing when placing the Smart Object?

When i go into outline mode and click the object it is indeed filled and i have no clue what could be the problem right now

@Marcella371813886v00 try choosing Crop Box as your option. Bounding box is going to show everything in your AI file including objects off the artboard.
