I have met this situation, and because I just learn photoshop so I don't know how to solve this.

I have a psd file contains some layers. Those layers have grouped together. Then I draw a graphic (in my case is an eclipse). AFAIK, when I draw a new graphic object, photoshop will put automatically new object in new layer. I have checked but doesn't see any new layers. I also test by disable each group (click on the eye on the left of the layer) but I always see that graphic object on screen. (So it means this object doesn't contain in any layers, right ? )

The only solution currently is closing document without saving and redo work again.

My question is: where does this graphic object store. And how can I know which layer of some object when I don't know where it come from.

Thanks :)

use shortcuts
ctrl + click the object to find the group in window and same for mac opn + click
These shortcuts to find the object on which layer or group.

For path just click on the path tab which is their on right panel where you see layers. you'll get your path of the shape.

Photoshop puts new drawing onto a new layer only when:


you are creating a vector shape (not "path")

and existing layers are neither empty nor locked


If you still see your ellipse when all the layers are disabled - then you've drawn a path. Undo this and pick "Shape" tool mode from a dropdown near the ellipse icon when Ellipse tool is selected (as shown above).
