This happens to me quite often, where a layer will "disappear" off canvas and I spend precious time trying to "drag" it back into view. Its swimming around in the vast gray expanse somewhere.

The layer is set as visible per the layers window/list. Is there a faster way to locate where the missing layer is?

I don't have Photoshop, but I believe there should be a way to center a layer to the canvas. – iglvzx Jan 7 at 0:02

When this happens to me I zoom out, slowly locate the layer in the layers side-panel and then a dotty box around that layer appears, then I drag it back to the correct place. - Try to figure out what combination of events make you lose the layer and work out a different workflow to minimise the hassle.

Zooming really far out is a pretty straightforward approach, thanks for the tip. This usually occurs when I duplicate a layer from one document to another. – Banjer Jan 7 at 18:27
