Question

Layers get cropped when moved to other artboard?

Hi

 

I've got a document in Photoshop 23.2.2 and I'm seeing some perplexing behavior.  I don't know if something's corrupt or there's a setting somewhere that I should know about.

 

I've got a document with several, differently sized artboards. If I duplicate a layer from one artboard so it appears in one of the others, it appears there, as intended. But however the layer appears cropped in the new artboard, it treats it as really cropped. Like if I move it, it won't show the full object on the layer, just the part that had initially appeared, cropped. Missing the part I'm trying to bring into the artboard. I can overcome this by moving the layer up or down in the layer stack in the layers palette. Then the full object on the layer appears again. This is a klunky workaround. What am I missing here?

 

Thanks if you've any clues!

 

best,
kurt

Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible? 

Does this also apply to Smart Objects?

sure. I duplicated an artboard, and on the lower one, I moved the art up. And you'll see in the first screenshot how it appears cropped at the bottom. But in the second screenshot you see the lower artboard's art be uncropped.

 

You know what fixed it this time? Taking the screenshot! It's like it's not refreshing unless forced. it's weird.

 

I'd mention that this is Day 2 of me using my new Mac Studio M1, which in general has been behaving wonderfully with Adobe apps, very very fast. But i wonder if this is a bug.

ps yes, it happens equally with smart objects and rasterized objects. In this example, they're all smart objects.
