Hello, when I scan something on a4 and I make a mask, the box around the object stays a4. this is kind of cumbersome when I want to transform/rotate/scale the object (see screenshot). I know, I can go back and crop the whole thing but isn't there another way to change the box size afterward? thank you c
Your screen shot does not give us enough information. We need the entire workspace with at least the layers panel showing as well as the document window.
You don't want to crop, as cropping is for the entire document. Instead, destructively delete most of the pixels on the "m" layer, keeping a large enough rectangle around the mouse that you can still edit the mask.
First make sure you have the full size image on a layer by itself and lock it so it never gets changed. Then you can copy that layer again if needed, and move or copy another mask to it.
Thank you jane! That means, this is one of the few things you have to do destructively right? There is no way to scale the box down in a non destructive way, correct? Cheers
In your case you are using the same image on all the layers and masking different areas, so yes, delete a good chunk of the layer to get the smaller Transform bounding box, BUT keep a pristine copy of the image on a locked layer and also in another document so you can go back to it if when you have to.
