All my smart objects pixelated

• Smart object pixelation problems

  Hello

  How is it that some logos that I bring in Photoshop as smart air well while some other look pixelated? Is there anything I can do to improve it?

  Thank you!

  Select the smart object layer, starting a free transformation (don't change in reality the transformation), in the options bar turn anti-aliasing, then validate the transformation (again, without changing anything, but the anti-aliasing checkbox).

• Is there an easy way to find all the missing smart objects in your PS document?

  I have a file which is quite large with many layers and I can't seem to find the missing linked smart object. I usually just get Red? Select this option. But I looked and don't see that anywhere, but always get the message "could not document X.psd package, because it is missing a file linked smart object.»
  In InDesign at least we could see a list of all the links and just click it to redo the link. I was wondering if there was something escapes me? If this isn't the case, PLEASE add this feature. It's really one of the biggest mistakes when kind of forcing the users to use the cloud objects from the library.

  Hi toolsalesman,

• Smart object problems, AI to ch = pixelated

  Hello and greetings,
  
  I'm new here and looking forward to get help and I hope that advice. How is everyone today?
  
  OK, my problem is:
  
  I am designing a site Web is an Illustrator and it ended in photoshop (as is the requested web developer file) I have made head design, buttons and panels... -
  
  so I copy the object I want to AI PS as smart object. The web doc in PS is set to 72 dpi, which is fine - it seems 100% ' clean'. However when I do this process on the PC the result works is very good example - looks 'clean' 100% -.
  
  I got my job at home to finish on my Mac and when I did the same process was really pixelated boggles the mind! This is not good! NOT GOOD! I compared one of the buttons of the doc to work at one of the buttons on the dome of doc even on my Mac and the difference is terrible.
  
  HELP - is there some settings, I am more looking? I checked the 'Clipboard' settings in Illustrator to recommended that I could find on the web and nothing has changed? I have to close the program for preferences to work? Please please help
  
  Thanks a lot Elles.x x
  
  PS: I am under CS4 to work on a PC or home CS3 Mac

• Change of image when converting to smart object

  Well, that's a new one on me.

  I have a simple image with a layer and layers of setting three on top.

  Mixer - with blue layer refused to 0%

  Posterize - 3 levels

  Black and white - no changes to the default values

  

  It gives me a black and white posterized picture-as I expect. All blending modes are normal and without layer effects are applied and there is no other layers on.

  

  However, when I change to a dynamic object - level poster borders move (see example cut the corner of the picture below)

  

  If I open the smart object - everything is as before, if I close (save the object) and discovers the smart object in the main image, change the posterization.

  I work in 16-bit and image and the dynamic object are in Adobe RGB. I get the same effect with the GPU acceleration on or off

  I am at a loss to explain why I see a change while creating a dynamic object.

• Smart objects - copy without referencing the Original SO?

  A question from me

  If I copy a raster layer several times for an animation to image, then it makes sense to do than the smart object layer.  What I do, but I'm missing something.  For example, there is a video going around on photo blogs today, a lady in charge by an elk, but missed the guy with the iPhone, so I quickly put together.

  

  The video has been radically challenged in the Department of pixel, so I made the Lady layer one OC and formulated a number of copies.  Same thing with the Elk (from a different source), where I used Puppet Warp to simulate a bucking motion.  In both cases, Free transforming the PW YES, or using copied, caused the original SO layer to reflect the changes.  Not good at all. And it's something that's happened to me before.

  Then a little later, Google I found this old threadand tried his advice to slide SO the layer to the new icon of layer instead of using Ctrl j.  But that's where it weird, because now I could use Ctrl j and PW as before and modify a copied SO layer without affecting the original.

  Someone has a good understanding of why my SOs don't always work in the same way for me?  I guess I should man to the top and RTFM, but I was using what I thought exactly the same workflow in different documents and get different behavior.

  Working with smart objects in Photoshop

  I don't see this problem in PS CC 2015 (Mac) with copy/duplicate methods. Are you sure that you not open the parent (SO) and the transformation (Puppet Warp or free transform) running on the child (content)?

  Application of puppets Warp to a smart object layer apply PW as a dynamic filter that is only attached to this layer (you will see in the layers), and if none of the other layers will be affected by PW. But if you run PW on duplicate content, clicking on a smart object to see the child record, then all layers will be affected.

  Looks like you know what you're doing, but the PW behavior as a dynamic filter is specifically designed for the layer that the smart filter is applied.

• Objects vector smart object - file format

  What is the best file format to save a photoshop file that has a number of vector smart objects that will eventually print? File can be placed in illustrator or indesign prior to be expelled to the printer either as direct files or on the PDF.

  Danny is correct: smart objects are STILL pixelated in resolution of the PSD, regardless of the format that you save it in.

  If you want to print any dynamic objects with imported objects vector (illustrator?) to setter image max resolution, you must extract these objects in the PSD file and rebuild the design in Illustrator or InDesign.

  It means that the smart object in question, which opens in Illustrator, and then save the file as a file HAVE editing. Remove the smart object in the PSD in Photoshop, then save a new version. Note the exact dimensions and positions. Open the file in InDesign and rebuild the original.

  If the layer effects have been applied in Photoshop to a matter SO vector: no chance. You will need to generate layers separated in the best of cases, or begin to recreate the effects in Illustrator in the worst case scenario. Or a combination of both.

  Vector shapes and the Type that were generated in Photoshop with effects applied to him may be problematic if the resolution of the PSD is insufficient. However, the outline remains vector while recording in Photoshop PDF format. Import the PDF into InDesign retains the sharp vector contour. Just make sure that the native resolution of the Photoshop document is high enough to produce a strong impression for effects (which will be pixels).

  The problem is that a lot of designers decided to convert their photoshop vector shapes and text in smart objects - and this will rasterize the result, no matter what. And there is no easy way to "unsmart" a dynamic object.

  A method (far from perfect) is:

  • Double-click the smart object to open it in a new window
  • Select all the layers in the .psb (dynamic object) that opens
  • Choose Layer > Group the menu
  • Hold down the SHIFT key and drag the window of smart objects to your original document with the move tool window.
  • Drag the icon fx the dynamic object for the new group of layers layer you just drag over
  • Remove the smart object layer.

  The only caveats to this method are scale and positioning. You may have to reposition some groups according to their interaction with the edges of the original document. And if you scale the smart object layer, you may need to scale of the group as well.

  Here is a script that automates some of this: http://blog.kam88.com/en/expanding-smart-objects-script.html

  This will ONLY work with SOs that were created in Photoshop.

  Dynamic objects are bothersome creatures indeed. Much too easy for designers unknowing to destroy the intent of vectors and difficult and potentially very tedious to undo in a news environment.

  The problem is that a lot of users tend to abuse of Photoshop as a request to print 'all-in-one' layout

• Photoshop CC on CS6 to open and maintain smart-objects

  Hello!

  Is it possible to open a Photoshop CC file linking psb files it contains on Extended CS6?

  I tried this and apparently all smart objects are somewhat pixelated automatically.

  There is a warning tho and he says 'this document contains unknown data that will be scrapped to keep editable layers. To keep the original appearance instead, choose Flatten to load composite data as a flattened image. "to keep the layers, cancel and flatter to choose buttons

  And when I click the button keep layers, I found that all smart objects are pixelated.

  I see tho on the file .psd files.

  Please advice.

  No, CS6 isn't the feature to link smart objects, so they are pixelated. You have to open them in a CC version that connects SOs then incorporate him bound in order to be able to open them in CS6.

• If I'm smart object then rasterize it then smart new ojbects

  Hello

  I hope you are all good. I wonder that something with the smart object in photoshop. So if I do a random object layer intelligent then rasterize it (and make some changes may be beush or a few small changes) then turn to smart object again. I'll lose any resolution or size problems?

  If you have an information about it pls know me.

  Nice day!

  You do not have either of these problems when working with dynamic objects. If you rasterize the smart object and then change the size of resolution or image via the size of the Image, you will have the same results as you normally would. Switch to smart objects by pixelation will change all that.

• Vector smart object inside another dynamic object with loss of quality suite scale

  Hello

  I have 6 icons created in Illustrator and imported as vector smart objects.

  Then, I select all 6 and create another object of Smart from there.

  If I resized now this dynamic object, it loses it s quality, as if the icons are raster in the first place.

  This is not what happened in PS CS5.

  It s a bug or "novelty"?

  Rodrigo C.

  You must realize that Photoshop makes pixels for the embedded object then when you resize the smart object layer it evolve as and layer rasterizes by interpolation not reduced with vector graphics. His work of the layers the way smart object. His is a very old thread on the topic

• convert to smart object resolution problem

  Hello

  I work for the video game UI and because of that, my photoshop documents always needs to have a resolution of 72 dpi.

  My current problem is that when I convert a few layers to a dynamic object by using the launch of "convert to smart object" menu, Photoshop always gives this new file a resolution of 300 dpi.

  It is very annoying and I don't find in the preferences a way to define a specific resolution of the dynamic object.

  Changing the resolution after the creation of the dynamic object is not a solution (it's a slow process, I need to repeat each time a new smart object is created and the smart object is expanded in the parent document)

  Create a new document with a specific resolution and drag it as a smart object to my parent document is also a slow process, that I can't use as my work files contains many of these intelligent objects.

  So, is there a solution, I'll be very happy to know.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  I work for the video game UI and because of that, my photoshop documents always needs to have a resolution of 72 dpi.

  Why is that game and poster that matches are played do not follow the ppi. Billboards is manufactured with different PPI and none that I saw the card to have a resolution of 72 dpi. Why the 72 DPI is so important in your workflow?  Are you sure you all image files are recorded with a resolution of 72 dpi setting?   I think the number of pixels you have images and objects, it is what would be important for the games.

• "Bleeding" colors during a resizing smart objects

  Bit of a strange, that. In Photoshop CS6, whenever I create a dynamic object with the intention of resizing, whenever I reduce it, where a flat color collide with one another, it creates a really ugly "bleed" - kind of the same effect you get when you take a little picture and try to enlarge:

  

  I zoomed in on this part to show how bad it looks. Especially on the upper part of the forearm, see how he got some kind of 'halo' white before the black outline? It now seems that I drew a slightly darker outline around all levels of shading, and it seems really bad, almost like a raised/carved effect.

  Of course, it is not as noticeable when zoom you out, but this is. If it helps, I noticed the same thing happens when I just resize the image using "automatic bicubic", but when I select "bicubic / nothing else", the purge does not occur. Kind of makes the tool once incredibly useful dynamic object little pointless now.

  This never happened with any other previous version of Photoshop which were dynamic objects and I barely got hands on CS6 a few days ago so if there is a preference/really obvious setting or something that I'm missing, please let me know

  Thanks in advance x

  Resizing of the smart object uses the method of interpolation image defined in preferences > General. The default value changed between CS5 and CS6, and many people don't like change.

  CS5 has by default the bicubic.

  CS6 is by default set to automatic bicubic. Auto translates Bicubic Sharper when reducing the pixel dimensions and bicubic smoother at the pixel dimensions increase. Bicubic Sarper tend to oversharpen and create ugly artifacts like the halo that is plagueing you.

  Set preferences in CS6 to simple to make as CS5 bicubic.

  CS6, free transform now also has an independent for interpolation control when pixelated layers are being targeted. He is set to bicubic automatic by default, so simple that bicubic value, too.

• Try to paste from Illustrator as a smart object

  Is there a trick to paste an image vector pixelated from Illustrator into Photoshop as a smart object and not introduce a bunch of smoothing that wasn't in the original file? My images are perfectly aligned with the pixel grid in Illustrator, and displays correctly rasterizes preview.

  This page is useful to deal with vector shape layers, but the techniques he talks do not work for dynamic objects. Strangely, he says that it is not a problem with smart objects, but I do.

  Here's an example of what I'm talking about: a simple image of pixel of 13 x 13 in turn shit in Photoshop Illustrator when pasted as a smart object (I know not a picture that is as simple as it could be pasted as a shape layer, but the I work with real images are much more complex and cannot be pasted in the form of simple shape layers).

  

  I'm using Photoshop CS4.

  > How to use these tools documentation could be improved so that when someone tries to do what wants to do the OP above, it can really accomplish its purpose?

  I'm not sure. It seems to be expecting behavior that should not. So I don't know what he thinks is happening, or what part it misunderstands.  I can document how the mathematics and applications work, but not all average people incorrectly assume that they work.

  Nod to the pixel grid option vector will manage the outline of the shape-, but maybe inside aliasees according to the position and size of the shape as well as the definition of the original form of vector.  Most of the time, vectors do not align with the pixel grid, but we can force the outside edges to align. Inside edges usually cannot be aligned with limits of pixels without deforming the wrong form (in the case where it is possible at all).

• vector smart object in photoshop

  I swear im not a fool, but here I am with another problem...

  OK im with illustrator, but not good at all with photoshop.

  I'm illy card and you want to put in photoshop to add the final texture.

  It's the standard business card size, effect of mosaic type with type. not very complicated.

  I have copy and place it in photoshop as a smart object vector and it comes out pixelated beyond belief.

  I rechecked that anti-aliasing and AICB/PDF are checked on. If I save it as PNG file it seems to work, but that seems like an unnecessary step...

  I use Illy CS5 photoshop CS4, if that matters.

  any ideas?

• Develop Lightroom and raw Photoshop smart objects

  I understand the function develop that Lightroom and Photoshop raw adjustments are the same.  So I adjust in one or.  I can then open the image as a smart object in photoshop. I can then perform other settings as an adjustment layer. I think it's the same as a function to develop Lightroom and Photoshop raw adjustments?  I understand the dynamic objects allows to edit not destructive and dynamic filters.

  SO my questions are: when you would not open the image as a smart object? Surely that I should always open the image as a smart object?  If I want to make objects not allowed to smart edition as Clone Stamp I can then create a new layer and then apply the Clone Stamp to the layer, I can't?

  Then, should I also convert all layers to smart layers or leave them as a normal layer.

  Or third, I'm away from the track?

  Check that the size of the file of this image saved under Camera Raw smart object... make sure that you ALWAYS want to use THE? Hope you have big hard disks...

  Camera Raw Smart Objects are indeed useful especially when you want to melt renderings ACR 2 or more in a single file. But Smart Objects are a lot more limited than files regular pixel. Use them when it makes sense...
