I need to rotate/scale a layer around a specific point so I just set the reference point at the right position. The issue is that when I loose the focus of the layer, the reference point goes back to its default place (center of the layer).
For instance I have to lose the focus when I need to lock/unlock another layer during the process.
And I will need to repeat this operation many times.
Does someone know how to avoid the automatic reset of the position of the reference point ?
Exactly like After Effects for instance.
I would be very grateful if someone had a solution because I haven't found this question yet.
One effective approach to address this issue involves creating a shape layer that is larger than the layers intended for scaling or rotation, ensuring it is centered at the reference point. This shape layer can then be utilized as a null object for scaling the other layers. By doing so, Photoshop will consistently reference the anchor point of the larger layer, allowing for more precise control over the transformations applied to the smaller layers.
