Nigel, members,

Since my last update (11 to 13.6 and 14) all my saved files as multi-layered .PSD files appear to be having a Clipping Mask. I noticed this by saving as .PSD and then opening that file in CS5 and CS6. Even the background layer has this Clipping Mask, which can only be released by swapping with any other layer of the .PSD file. The layers typically contain images with different size and position as the background layer, and have transparent areas.

It was never saved with Clipping Masks in my version 11. Perhaps I missed update notes, and digging in this Forum didn't help me either find the reason, or better, the solution to avoid Clipping Masks of all layers in .PSD files using .SaveToFilePSD.

I would appreciate if anyone can explain how to avoid Clipping Masks when saving as layered .PSD files.

Thanks,
Sybren

Hi Sybren

Thanks for confirming.

It is not the default option because sometimes users have no background image (layers only), so by default, they would see no content.

Thanks Nigel, that was my missing insight.

I added one line of code, enabling cropping for all layers:
for var i := 0 to ImageEnView1.LayersCount - 1 do ImageEnView1.Layers[ i ].Cropped := true;

Perhaps a suggestion, without thinking of the consequences, should layer cropping not be enabled by default?
Apparently it's set to false by default, leading to this situation.

Thanks again for your quick response,

Sybren

Hi Sybren

Do you have layer cropping enabled?
