Slightly different issue and alternate solution...   I have had a similar issue with the canvas *apparently* not extending equally on all sides. I can't reliably reproduce the issue, but it most frequently occurs when I have extended the original image using generative fill and somehow cropped. (There is one image that exibited the issue without having been extended.)   I say "apparently", because when I enlarge the canvas, I discovered that Photoshop is somehow retaining the precropped data and filling that in when I expand the canvas. This goes unnoticed when there is little significant detail in the filled in data.    The solution is to crop the image (at the full size of the image as loaded) before resizing with the Canvas Size. The example below is of an image expanded using generative fill and then cropped (at an earlier time). I opened the image (2400x1513 pixels) and then created the red blocks at the 4 corners. I added a background layer, then increased the canvas size by 440 pixels in height and width with the anchor point at the center. I made the background blue for contrast. The resultant image shows where the "hidden" image was displayed. (Ideally, in this case, I would want the blue border to start at the outside of the red blocks.) ... View more

The functionality is already old, so I suppose it may be part of the Photoshop-code itself or be a plugin, the internal workings of which we have no access to.  And while I suspect it makes the determination of the relevant snippets’ positions and angles in a clever way, it could employ an outdated approach by today’s standards.    I would recommend that you post a Featuer Request (mark it »Idea« instead of »Discussion«).  That would be bound to register at Adobe (even if you should get no feedback).  But please try to explain (and accompany with sketches/mock-ups) what you would actually want to get – a dialog/Panel with customizable settings for padding of the isolated elements, just one menu item that rotates an image (if so what should it do if more than one »clip-worthy« element is identfied in the image), …?  ...

It's only an idea. Check if your GPU support is enabled and if you have installed the recent version of the graphic device driver. If you have installed a NVidia card make sure the you have installed the Studio version of the driver and not the Game Ready version.   You can alos try to reset the preferences of Photoshop using the steps described here: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#reset-preferences It's recommended to backup your settings before resetting the preferences.

Swift update, I have updated Photoshop to 26.3 and its still the same.

@patricktheart  If you lose your preferences in minor dot updates, something's wrong, like not having full administrator privileges in your user account.   With a major whole-number version update, preferences do not carry over, they never have. There is an option to migrate preferences, but I don't recommend it because of the high risk of accumulated errors carrying over as well.   As for actions, brushes, anything that can be saved out - save out and keep it in a safe place. Then it can always be easily reloaded. ... View more

Appreciated for your help, is this a screen recording ? If yes, would you share the video with me ? By @Calvin21914323wi10   There isn’t any more to the original video, it was done in one take and not edited, just converted to GIF. If you want to be able to stop it and play back specific sections, or look at it frame by frame, you can use your web browser to download the GIF animation from this page and load it into any app that can play back a GIF animation.   For example, you can drop an animated GIF into Photoshop, and if you open the Timeline panel (Window > Timeline), it will provide playback controls. ...

You can try using Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator with the halftone effect to convert the image into dots. Photoshop’s halftone pattern under the "Filter Gallery" can help you cluster the dots while keeping the same size. Illustrator also has similar effects for more control.

This happens with floating layers, but not a flat Background layer:   I've known about this "forever", so I've always been careful when resizing layered files.

You could use the Vanishing Point filter. I would isolate the subject on a separate layer, and feather the top edge of he paneling.
