Non-destructive crop and resize

Aspose.PSD Product Family
1

Hi! How can I accomplish non-destructive operations?
I tried the following code, but the smart object seems broken when I open the PSD in Photoshop… if I try to interact with the smart object I always get an error like “the source rectangle is empty”.

using (var psd = new PsdImage(300, 100))
{
    psd.GlobalLayerResources = [];

    var graphics = new Graphics(psd);
    graphics.Clear(Color.Black);

    var soLayer = new SmartObjectLayer(getImage());
    psd.AddLayer(soLayer);
    var width = soLayer.Width;
    var height = soLayer.Height;
    soLayer.Resize(width / 20, height / 20, ResizeType.HighQualityResample);

    psd.Save("myResizeTest.psd", new PsdOptions());
}

@gonzalo.gatti.ethofy I checked this code in 24.10 and 24.11, it seems to be working correctly.
What version of Photoshop do you use? Do you run this code in Windows?

I’m using Aspose.PSD v24.11 running Photoshop 26.1.0 in Windows 11.
I’m attaching two files, one done with the sample code (“myResizeTest.psd”) and the other one I’ve done it manually with Photoshop (“expected.psd”).
Notice in “expected.psd” I can resize the image in the layer, but in “myResizeTest.psd” I cannot.
Maybe you can send me the result you’re getting in your end?
