I'm making a digital mock-up of my house so I can pre-layout picture frames I want to hang. I've been using perspective warp on literally over 30 images of walls and frames taken on my phone to straighten them. It's been going swimmingly, no problems. Suddenly, when I click "warp", photoshop automatically started cropping the image to the frame. I'm using Edit>Perspective warp. I drag the corner pins to align my landmark edges, change the mode to "warp," and before I've even moved anything, the image has been cropped to an area around the box. I'm still able to drag my warp corners around before I finalize the warp. Any ideas how this got changed? How do I fix it? I'm on Windows, using Photoshop 21.0.3.
I got around it somehow. I had another smart object warped in the document I'm working on which I suspect was causing the glitch.
What I changed: Illustrator: make the artboard of the smart object huge + save > Photoshop: Prior to warping: Scale and rotate smart object as close to the intended shape as possible. + Change the layer stacking order so the smart object I want to warp is on top of the other warped smart object. > Perspective warp. No crop!
I'm not sure if all those steps are necessary, but it seems to me like there is data from the other smart object bugging out. I have work to do, but just thought I would reply with a potential fix.
A few days later... same project. Different side of vehicle I'm working on. Same issue... Same fix.
Deleted the clipping warped object. Expanded the artboard in Illustrator and centered the object - I feel like this step is superstition but I'd rather use the extra time right now to leave this comment...
Pasted the illustrator graphic in as a smart object. Moved it close to the area I needed it warped to. Scaled it down a little. Rotated it so it was close to the space it needed to occupy. Then perspective warp worked as intended.
