Misplaced bounding box after Shrinking a rectangular selection


Recommended Posts

This happens with either the retail or beta versions of Photo. It seems to occur only with a rectangular (non-square) image. In my experiments so far it has always worked with square images, but I suppose (given my recipe) that it might be related to the shape of the selection not the shape of the image.

  1. Open a rectangular image.
  2. Unlock the background layer.
  3. Switch to the Move Tool.
  4. Ctrl+A to select all.
  5. Select > Grow/Shrink...
  6. Specify -50px or -100px as the amount to grow/shrink, and press Apply.
  7. The bounding box is now offset, rather than matching the outline of the layer.

With a square image, the bounding box matches the outline of the layer after step 7.

Some examples of the offset bounding box:

Here's one with aimage.png.9303c7037db83d8679e2686f60e9dd14.png square image, where the bounding box is correct:
