Question

Layers dupicating outside of artboads

When I duplicate a layer in Photoshop cc 2019 it falls above the artboard rather then on the layer that I'm duplicating. Any ideas?

Thanks

Amy

There are a number of ways to duplicate a layer in Photoshop. Can you describe precisely how you are duplicating your layers? By that, I mean the exact gestures you are using?

There are two known bugs with layer duplication within an artboard. A fix is in the pipeline for both:

  • Layer Panel: Dragging a layer cell to the new layer icon at the bottom of the Layer Panel.
  • Duplicate Layers Dialog: selecting a layer and then using the main menu or context menu. If you duplicate to the same artboard (e.g. Artboard 1 to Artboard 1), the layer may duplicate to (hidden) canvas coordinates instead. Auto-nesting into another artboard may follow.

In the meantime, try Option-Drag to duplicate the layer, either on-canvas or in the Layer Panel.

I have the same problem as described and my workflow is:

- Right click on the layer

- Go to Duplicate Layer

- Use the default options (same document, same artboard)

- The layer is duplicated to outside artboard, instead of auto-nesting from actual artboard.

With a little tests here, I find that this problem just occurs with a updated file (from 2018 to 2019). If i try to reproduce in a newly created file, nothings happened.

Info: Photoshop 2019 (20.0.0)

Edit:
I uploaded a file that you can reproduce this bug, in PS 2019: PS_Bug.psd - Google Drive

Just to be clear: Your steps reflect a known bug which has been fixed in development builds. A fix is in the pipeline.
