Copy the properties of the dynamic object

Hi people.

As it is Christmas time, I thought I'd do a nice picture of Christmas with snow.

It was ok until I tried to make a new layer by dragging my 'Smart Object' layer to the new layer icon, and not using 'Control-J', as by dragging to the new layer icon must copy the properties also.

The layer copy very well, but the properties do not copy with it, which would be a pain I want to make a number of copies and do not want to change one by one.

Any help people.

Hi BigDingus,

When you use the standard shortcut command + J (PC: Ctrl-J) to duplicate a smart object, the changes to the smart object will affect both copies. To avoid this, Ctrl-click (PC: right-click) on the smart object, then choose new Smart Object Via Copy. Now two smart objects can be edited separately.

  • Transparency of the dynamic object created in Illustrator

    Hi guys! Someone smarter than me?

    1. I created the vector Illustrator object with opacity masks:
    2. I inserted the .ai file saved {by dragging BR} in Ps as smart object.

    But look at the Sun. below: you can see, that the area hidden by using Ia - mask opacity is 100% Demasquee have, but don't you understand, the same area what when .ai file is converted to the dynamic object in Ps? Do you have any ide what may cause this difference in the rendering of the same object?

    Thank you in advance!

    Make sure you use the same color space in both programs and create your mask in the destination color space. It's a problem of color management. This problem is because you use different color spaces in Illustrator and Photoshop.

    Most likely, you have created the mask in a CMYK (text) color space into Illustrator and your Photoshop document uses an RGB color space. Indeed you will have the same problem in Illustrator if you convert your document CMYK to RGB using the file > color mode of the Document or copy the work of a CMYK document and paste it into a document RGB. Having in mind that the problem is not limited only to the conversion between the RGB and CMYK color spaces, you might have the same problem when converting between the two areas of different color using the same color as RGB, for example sRGB template in Illustrator and Adobe RGB in Photoshop.

  • disable the dynamic object

    Hello

    Whenever I open any photo in camera raw in photoshop, it opens as a smart object in photoshop cc2015.

    How can I disable that?

    Already when I opened pictures in camera raw, it will open in the background instead of the dynamic object.

    You check the settings for camera Raw workflow.

  • Add anchors to the shape of the dynamic object?

    I'm trying to change a shape into a smart object, for a model of an open book. I want to use it to generate images of our book pages (page/design spreads layout).

    Using the single warp and skew transformation tools are not enough. The form, I need has a pinch in the middle. I want this kind of spread:

    WWUA_Chaptrspread12x9_144dpi.jpgScreen Shot 2015-08-17 at 3.38.56 PM.png

    to comply with the pages right and left (top and bottom, mounted soft on each side).

    BUT

    When I create a dynamic object I can't add anchor points (can I?). Can I use rather naïve transformations. I can try a mesh of puppets (action hard to remove all small distortions of external form).

    Is it possible to modify a rectangle (add/manipulate anchors), after you HAVE created a SO (in order to keep the flat rectangle of the PSB)?

    I tried to add points BEFORE I created the statement of objections, but they disappeared in the main PSD after I creqated the OS.

    I think I'm missing something obvious. Help, please. Makes me crazy.

    Greg

    You cannot add points of anchorage, but with what you want to do, you must break your text in a separate page and convert each page separately. You could probably make a page and then make a new smart object via copy, is SO independent, then back horizontally. Then open it and put the second page of the text. Just be aware that you will need flip the text inside the SO, so it's good to read again.

    Thank you, Warunicorn, I do understand that you lose the benefits of dynamic objects, I guess what I'm trying to ask is to make you lose the appearance that smart objects gave you when you group documents? For me if the image looks still even with objects with or without smart objects their pixelated it does not matter that smart objects or they aren't. I seek only the general appearance, is he always looks good as he has done with smart objects. ?

    Thank you for your help,

    When just flattening? Of course, they look alike. It's when you go to register in a particular format is where things start to get sticky. (As the backup format JPEG.)

  • How to open and copy the smart object

    Hello

    I read some topics on smart objects, but I have not found a solution to my problem.

    1. I need open the smart object layer

    2 copy all the layers of the smart object to another file

    Thank you

    Let's say you have two open documents. The first open doc is the one you want to fool the layer to the second doc is active and the layer you want to dupe is the activeLayer.

    app.activeDocument.activeLayer.duplicate(app.documents[0]);
    

    Of course, you can change the document references and layer as needed. However the layer not fool must be in the activeDocument.

    Thank you.

    the 2nd issue is somewhat lttle confusing, is there a link I see from this demonstration?

    There is no link that I know; I think I discovered this method on my own. :-)

    I'll try to explain once again.

    Start by placing your unfinished Illie Photoshop file.

    Draw a slightly colored rectangle.

    Break it down in a corner of the imported Photoshop file.

    Copy/drag to the corner opposite and turn it.

    Position the object that you want to copy in Photoshop correctly compared to the placed image.

    Copy it with the 2 smaller rectangles.

    Go to Photoshop and paste.

    Your Illie stuff will stick in a new layer with the small rectangles in the corners of the canvas.

    All you need to do now is delete the rectangles.

    Like this:

    Here's a placed image (grayed out). Copy the A and the rectangles.

    dzedward is right on target here Moses - and in addition there are a few things you can do here that will make you more fluid system work. If you pass the object instead of a string, you can use this reference to cause the reaction you method without having to 'check' all instances (which I think is what you go here) so you can simplify all using something more like the following:

  • Dynamic objects in the disconnected model?

    Hello! I have a problem with the connection between smart objects and hope that someone can help me!
    A book-mock up I bought, contains a group of "Items" - layer - base, containing several dynamic objects.

    Those who are then used in different preview-layergroups (eg; before you book, inside the book, etc.)

    In this way, I can import/pages cover rear cover of my book-drawings and models in dynamic objects in the items-layer group, and then they are automatically changed in various layergroups. Or that's what's supposed to happen.

    However, somehow, a couple of smart objects was disconnected of the Basic smart objects, so rather than change all layers at once, I still spend several layers, one by one.
    Check the picture below

    In this way the dynamic object has lost part of its use... How to fix / reconnect the smart object?

    I got appriciate the feedback! Thank you!

    Try this (on a working copy, so you don't break anything, as if this works also depends on how the rest of the document is built)

    Click the object FLY Original layer, that you marked as a basic form of object and drag it to the new layer at the bottom of the palette icon.

    This will create a copy of the child of the dynamic object on a new layer

    Move this new layer of child in the same position that the layer with the broken link. Make this new layer visible and her broke the previous layer invisible by clicking on the symbols of 'the eye '.

  • Thumbnail of the smart object not to launch Illustrator

    Hi guys,.

    I have noticed what seems to be a bug on my PC, when you use CreativeCloud. "When I double click on the thumbnail of the smart object in Photoshop instead of him launch Illustrator (the place of the dynamic object was created), Photoshop displays a window titled" PDF "Import '." " The process of making works perfectly on my Macbook, but on my PC, it appear this error.

    My process is: Illustrator open > creative vector > copy Vector > paste into Photoshop > paste it as a smart object > find layer > Double click on thumbnail of the smart object... After this step, it will normally begin Illustrator but it currently opens the 'import PDF' UI, which then opens the file in Photoshop as a file rasterised.

    Any of you have a fix for it?

    Thank you
