usaradark Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Whenever I change the canvas size of my image, my layer gets cropped and all I have left to work with is what's inside the new canvas size. I've found a way around this where I just copy the original image, changed the canvas size, the pasted the image, but the problem comes when I have multiple layers to work with. Is there any way to unlink canvas resizing and layer size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Have you tried using Resize instead of Canvas Size? Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

usaradark Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Resize also adjusts the layer size, warping it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJW Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) I don't understand what you want. The canvas size is the size of the layers, so naturally if you change the canvas size, the layers will be cropped. I'm not sure what you expect to happen, EDIT: I think I now realize what you want. You want the visible image size to change, but the layers to be unchanged, so you can still move them around within the image boundaries. Unfortunately, that's not the way it works, and I very much doubt it ever will be. Edited January 7, 2016 by MJW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably create a box inside of an enlarged canvas so I can separate what's seen and what isn't seen. Thanks for the reply! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJW Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) Someone asked about a similar problem some time ago, and I made a plugin to draw such a rectangle. You can read my comment where I posted the plugin to understand what it does. It might be useful. One of these days I'm going to make a more finished version.
