What wrong with image rectangle bouding

[thuydts]

Hi,

I am a newbie photoshop. I do the following:

1- I create Clipboard like 1.png

2- Then I drag an image to that, It showing large bounding

3- Then I click to layer item in the right box

4- Look, now it's showing small bouding

So, now what's different of them?

5- When I drag more image to that Clipboard, and select on layer on the Layers box, it just showing small bouding? How can I disable it? I just want to show large bouding like step 1.

Thank you

Hi @thuydts when you place an image with a transparent background - the entire canvas is read for the original placement. Once it is placed, Photoshop clips the excess transparency to fit the placed pixel data.

How can I show real bounding when click to layer item?

Temporarily set the Move Tool to »Show Transform Controls«.

You are seeing a real bounding box in your second image - transparency doesnt existing when making selections.

View > Show > Layer Edges should circumscribe the pixels that are not completely transparent, even for a Smart Object.
