Working outside the canvas in Photoshop.

[JPG-Dealer]

Hi all,

Is there a way to work outside the canvas in Photoshop? Much like you can in InDesign? You can quickly hide and unhide the objects or layers you move outside the canvas in InDesign. I desperately want this feature in Photoshop also. Is there a way to do this??

Thanks in advance.

Not directly possible, unfortunately. 

Objects hidden outside the canvas can be revealed with Image-->Reveal All. (I forgot about that option) It will adjust the canvas size, though, so not comparable to InDesign or Illustrator.

One other workaround would be to use a second (temporary) artboard while working.

As rayek.elfin said, not directly possible.

Before I temporarily enlarge the canvas, I first put in ruler guides so that I know where the original edges were.
