Question

Smart filters "turn off" whenever I transform a smart object.

Whenever I have a smart filter applied to a shape layer, any time I try to transform it, such as scale, the effect disappears even though the eye icon clearly shows that it’s enabled. The only way to fix it is to disable and then reenable the filter. This seems like a simple bug that can be fixed, rather than bloating the app with new AI features. Do better!

    Hey, ​@Mike32232381ugye. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I’ll help you figure this out. Please share a video of the issue and the system info from Photoshop Help > System info > Copy and paste into a text document > Upload and attach here.

     

    If this happens with Clarity and Dehaze (New Adjustment layers), this is expected, as discussed here: 

     

    Awaiting hearing from you. Thanks!
