Dear all.

I'm usually always place some object outside of canvas when i doing edit in Corel, Indesign, or illustrator.

Unfortunately, photoshop doesn't support that feature. We can not edit or place object outside of canvas.

To do that, i do Image -> Reveal All.

But, how to go back to my previous view? What is opposite of Image -> Reveal all?

i want to go to previous view before i click Image -> Reveal All. But i don't know where to go.

Thanks.

I was looking for the opposite of Reveal All too. 

 

The changing of the Canvas Size seems to be more of a side effect than a feature. It's not expected or intuitive to change the canvas dimensions.

 

However, it is in the same group under the Edit menu. (not that I initially noticed based on a search via Help).

 

Perhaps the function or naming that we are looking for is Display Overbleed. It shouldn't change the Canvas dimension. But that would probably be a function that is under the View menu, rather than the Edit menu.

 

New Artboard creates a bit of a mess to start off with. It changes what is visble with respect to layering and transparency. Don't have time to fix this. Thank goodness for undo via History.

 

The scenario in my case is that I'm working with artwork designed by somebody else and I'm cleaning up graphics where there is content outside the canvas that is displaying in a downstream process. I definitely don't want to change the size or aspect ratio of the artwork. There is only the original default artboard.

Would artboards work for you?  I never use them myself, but it appears that we can park objects outside the drawing area.

Image > Trim is the opposite in some ways, however, what you are referring to in this case is Image > Canvas Size.

Doing Image -> Trim doesn't take back to my previous view.

My previous view was 1080px x 1350px. A portrait size for instagram.

Here my canvas size after i click image -> Reveal all

No it doesn't do exactly what you want. That's why I said "in some ways". Reveal and trim are opposite. What you want is something different.
