Question

Image shifts position after rotating canvas

In Photoshop 2020, the rotate canvas tool is acting up.  When I finish the rotation, Photoshop automatically shifts the position of image.  When zoomed in, the section you were working on in no longer visible due to the image shift. Every time I rotate the canvas, I have to pan back to the area of canvas where I was working.

 

Has anyone have this problem and have a fix?  Thanks.

Hi there,

 

Sorry that Photoshop 2020 shifts the position of the image when the canvas is rotated. 

 

Which exact version of Photoshop are you using? (Check under Help> System info)

 

A similar issues was addressed by the 21.1.1 update.
 
To update, see https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/uptodate.html

 

Thanks,

Akash

I have 21.1.2 on Mac.  Problem started a couple of days ago.  Persists even after manually moving my Adobe Photoshop 2020 Prefs.psp file to the desktop and relaunch.  My 2019 Photoshop is still installed and it rotates properly.

 

Rotation works properly if application frame is used.  I prefer to use without the frame.

 

Thanks in advance

Are you using a tablet to rotate the canvas? 

 

Also, you can try to reset the preferences of Photoshop using the steps mentioned here: https://adobe.ly/2Qzc0K3
Please backup your settings prior to resetting the preferences. You can check: https://adobe.ly/2vNz6FG
Let us know how it goes. 

 

Thanks,
