Image Layer Disappears When I Move It

Tue Oct 06, 2020 7:41 am

So, on all types of layers if i click it with the move tool :move it goes invisible. i can move it around turn it whatever as if it's still there, and it shows the outside box so ik how big/where it is. However it's extremely annoying :gaah bc it's not a perfect outline of what i've drawn/the image i imported just a box around the object. Also every time i move a layer it goes down in quality becoming more and more burly every time i move it! Please let me know if you have any fixes for either of these problems. Thank You Bunches :heart

I actually went to go get screenshots and fixed it mostly, it doesn't happen when i use the move tool :move it only happens when i use "Unified Transform Tool". Idk if that's meant to happen, but it fixes my problem bc i don't need to use that tool. thx 4 ur time tho
also if it's not meant to happen idk how to add screenshot on here

Tick the "show preview" button in tool options.

Unified Transform is a good tool, scale / rotate / move / ... etc all in one operation. This avoids multiple pixel interpolation between individual tools. However scaling up is the same everywhere. A big scale is a fuzzy scale. Use the best interpolation available, but do not expect great quality.
