Hi @vladv45790149 — welcome to the community! 👋

This thread’s been quiet for a little while, so it might be a good idea to start a brand-new one with all the details of your issue. That way, your question won’t get buried, and you’ll likely get help much faster.

Thanks a bunch, and glad to have you here!
Cheers,
Alek

Here's a video on how to do it on Illustrator https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zRlc2KcW9w.

But I'm not able to find how to do it in photoshop. It's crazy this is actually normal for people lol. Who designs like this? It's crazyy> I want previous photoshop

Would using the Crop Tool to see the whole layer outside the document bounds work?

You can move the object around while Crop is active.

 

 

 

Looks like photoshop cs4 thru photoshop cc 2015 were the versions that could display selections outside the canvas bounds. Maybe someone from Adobe will see your post and provide an explanation for the change.

 

Or you could make a feature request here on the forum.

View > Show > Layer Edges.  It shows a blue outline around selected layers, but does not show the shape of the item outside the document boundry.   There is Image > Reveal All, but that does not show selections outside the canvas either.

No, not the box, sorry. I need to see the actual shape of the layer when you ctrl+click on it and the selection goes around it. (marked green on the pic)

    I wasn't aware that this was ever possible in Photoshop.  Are you saying that this used to work for you in previous versions?  You could Add Canvas if that helps, but you will have already thought of that.   Is there a particular problem that you could maybe come at from a different direction?

    Try enabling show transform controls while using the move tool.
