Group borders respectively handles

[maxen]

I have a group of masked adjustment layers. When I try to move the hole group to position it, the borders of the group don't represent the borders of the sum of the masks inside the group. In fact the handles are far outside the image and the group "area" is very small. (see attached sample)group borders.afphoto

Hi maxen,

Can you check the attached file please? are you able to open it? Seems incomplete.

Hi maxen

 

This is because you have objects masking the adjustment layers. The bounding box shows the area for the objects in the top of the hierarchy, which being adjustment layers are basically infinite so it seems to be confusing the app. I would recommend the adjustment to the object rather than the object to the adjustment, although this will change the visual so it may need some tweaking afterwards

Ok, nice to know it's possible the other way round.

Actually I use the masked adjustment layers to modify parts of a photo (applying graphics to a car) and create multiple version of it. That way I need the original picture only one time in my file, hiding or showing the layers I need.

It's a very nice way to adjust parts of an image an it's "nondestructable", so you can edit everything everytime over and over again.
