Hey there,

I just opend a PSD file (which was saved with PS 2019) in the new PS 2020 and I get cut off dropshadows. I turned off hardware-accaleration but the issue remains. Removed the shadow and made a new one, issue remains. Looks like a bug for me... - screenshot attachend.

Working on iMac 5K late 2015, macOS 10.15.1, 32 GB

It was unchecked, I checked it and it worked 😊

Thanks a lot!

The ability to do this was removed so this fix no longer works just to update you.

Can you share your file? Have you tried creating a new drop shadow?

Hello Melissa,

yes I created a new shadow. Nothing changes. Here the .psd file: https://adobe.ly/2X2GGFs

I found a similar problem with PS 2019 which was solved due to an update. -> https://adobe.ly/34UjBrp – However it seems to reappear.

I don't know why it's happening, but I found a workaround. Place the drop shadow on the group and it works fine.
