not sure what the problem could be then... i frequently use layer comps and haven't noticed any issues at all. Maybe it has something to do with redraw/cache? If you zoom in/out or move things around does the layer comp eventually catch up? There was a thread not too long ago where someone was having issues with layer visibility not working in certain situations.
I'm getting a strange bug, may be related. I have 14 Layer comps using visibility only. I updated one (intending to do all eventually) to use position as well. Without having done anything else (no moving ANYTHING), a few of the layers in some of the other comps have jumped around
This issue is caused specifically by using "Transform" (Command T) to move any objects from one position to another. You can move by the arrow keys. You can move by clicking and dragging but you CAN NOT use "Transform" to move anything in layer comps for positioning purposes.
Thanks. Now it's time to re-post the resolution in the 700 other forums I've seen this issue reported. If I can save even just one other person from the headache this was for me then my suffering was worth it.
Layer Comps comes from the 1990's state-based model in ImageReady for creating rollovers and animated GIFs.
Transforms couldn't be animated between states (e.g. making an elements animate from small to large) because the state prior to transform couldn't be preserved - and the states between two transforms couldn't be generated "tweened" - so it wasn't recorded as a state change in the model.
We could consider a modernization/new feature effort - to record states of newer things we can preserve and potentially tween/interpolate their state (e.g. Smart Objects and Smart Filters post-date the model)
I'm having these exact same issues in photoshop 2024, especially when i'm working on moving images within a masked area. Could this be related to the size of the overall document? Or number layer comps in the file? The latest file i've had this issue with has 64 layer comps.
