• Vector Illustrator to Photoshop Smart objects is more editable...?

  I've just updated my CC and experiencing some weird behaviors between Illustrator and Photoshop. I always start in Illustrator to make my designs (logos, etc. for the vector art) and then build in Photoshop for brochures and other media. I always copied and pasted as smart objects (from Illustrator into Photoshop) and production wise, this is a quick easy workflow - I can go back and change my smart objects by clicking twice if necessary changes.

  However, after update CC two days ago, I feel something I've never seen. When I paste the graphic Illustrator (such as a smart object) I can no longer double-click the layer to edit in Illustrator - I am panic and need help! What they have done or what has changed? It's ruining my workflow and I would really appreciate the help. The alert script error I get when I double click on the vector smart object is "this element is not directly editable in photoshop, but it can be placed in a document. To move the item, drag it into an open document. "Why I'm doing this and why they would change?

  Help, please

  The interest to place the vector in Photoshop is not hunting for the dynamic object - it is much too long and then go back to Illustrator. It is a step in the wrong direction, and I can't believe that others are not upset. I would not have updated if I had known this - now my production is at a standstill immensely. Is there a way to express my concerns?

  Your first message is at odds with your last. You said in your first post that you double-click to edit a vector pasted in Photoshop into Illustrator. Then you say you want to go back to Illustrator and "hunt for the object."

  As long as you have the option "add to my current library" unchecked when pasting, it should work as before. Is there something I'm missing here?

• RE: Camera Raw and smart objects

  Hello everyone.

  I have a question please.

  Inside of the 8.1 camera raw workflow options, I checked the box to open in Photoshop as smart objects.

  I noticed inside the Camera Raw, open the Image box to turn to, the open object box.  I clicked open, and he opened the Image as objects inside Photoshop the Smart.

  If I make changes to the Image, and if I Double click on the smart object, it will open in Camera Raw again which is good.

  I also noticed that if I make changes to the Image inside the Raw to the dynamic object camera after clicking Open Smart Objects I see the changes inside the Photoshop too.

  But if I make the changes to the Image inside the Photoshop, and later I Double click on the Image, the Image opens inside the Camera Raw, without modification.

  Here's my question: still The Smart object Image is a Raw Image?

  My next question is:

  I don't know if I open a Raw Image Inside the Camera Raw and if I click on fact, the image is always a Raw Image, which is good, and if I click on Reset low, will reset back. If I change only the White Balance and click on go back the Camera Raw and I chose as shot, the Image goes back to the Original Raw file.

  But if I do other changes such as exposure, any color change and click on I did can never return to the original...

  Last month I was in collaboration with the Lightroom and I noticed if I open a raw image inside the Lightroom and modifications to make the Image, any time I can click on reset and the Raw image dates back to its origin.

  I don't think that we can do this with Camera Raw can us?

  Claire removes the settings in camera raw completely. You will not see the setting on the thumbnail icon in Bridge

  By default Camera Raw will display the icon and double click on the thumbnail will always open in Camera Raw with the default settings.  The default value is "As Shot", that's why you see no difference. It is when you select a default Custom you want. He will stay with the Camera Raw file.

  See this article by Julienne Kost.

  http://blogs.Adobe.com/jkost/2009/10/setting_new_camera_raw_default.html

  Another difference is with JPEGs. Open a JPEG in ACR, making an adjustment, click 'done '.  Select 'Default Camera Raw' and it will always open in ACR instead of Photoshop.  Select 'Clear' and it's a normal jpeg which is still open in Photoshop.

  Basically it's all I know, I normally don't use ACR much.

• CS5 is the opening of the raw files as smart object files im working

  I just new branch CS 5 and find this big mistake. When I open the raw file in Camera Raw and I opened a jpg in CS5, it always open as a dynamic object to this small jpg I opened before. The same is my CS 5 when I drag a file on the desktop, it has always finished as long as a smart object to the file im is currently working with. Normally it should open a new file, not as a smart object in this file im working already with.

  If you do not want to open images as smart objects when you drag them in Photoshop then go in Edition-> Preferences-> general and uncheck the box 'Place or drag Raster Images as smart objects'. As for Camera Raw, the button open so-called in the Camera Raw dialog box? Open a picture or an open object? You can switch between the two on the fly by pressing the SHIFT key, or you can change the preference among the workflow Options (click on the link button - like from the bottom of the Camera Raw dialog box)

• Layering with smart objects for the architectural atmosphere photos in PS

  Help...

  I was wondering if anyone has had experience working professional architectural photographs in PS?

  I'm interested in Help and learn how to use the technique of what architectural layering of many photographers use to produce different exhibitions, an Interior into a single image.

  Many pros prefer this method tells me, because it offers more control and flexibility than the use of HDR.

  A photographer, that I talked to said:

  "I also support different exposures and use under or above the exposures for extreme areas needing adjustment." Dynamic objects simplify things by using a single RAW file whenever in range".

  I don't understand this; Anyone got any links to the Web sites, etc., I can learn more about this method?

  Thank you...

  From your post, I think that what they say is you using a raw image, you can change the exposure in camera raw. This can be done at any time by double clicking on the icon of the layer that should be a dynamic object, so that you can go back to camera raw at any time change the exposure.

  You can set a camera raw default to open an inphotoshop of the image as a smart object. In the lower right in camera raw, you will see either a button called open an image or a button called open object. This can be changed in the options of workflow that looks like a link html below the image in camera raw (this location may have changed since CS3). A shortcut is to press and hold the SHIFT key, it will change how this button.

• Citing the free transform on the smart object place encompassing top left

  I've got something weird going on in PS CC 2015. It runs on a computer Windows 10. I placed a psd file of a company in the active document logo. I shot it, scaled and added some layer styles. Then at some point I had to resize it again, so I called the free transform command, but now the framework encompassing loads in the upper left corner of the document. Any changes to one of the settings in the Panel Options F. T. causes the logo to disappear completely, even if I can go back to the default values. This occurs only after I added a mask to the layer. Without the mask, everything works fine - add the mask, and I get this oddity.

  No idea why?

  

  the dynamic linked object should update its content

  window-> properties: update of content

  something more I would say... Double-click on the smart object and use the crop inside tool

  

• All my smart objects pixelated

  I am past all recently to a new job with access CC, so I barely started to scratch the surface after migrating to CS5. There are a lot of things, even simple tasks, I am not aware of. At work, I have the last Photoshop, but at home, I still run CS5. When you work in Photoshop/Illustrator, I always import the dynamic objects in my workflow. After opening a document Photoshop CC full of dynamic objects in CS5, all my smart objects became pixilated. It's pretty useless to me. I opened PS CS6 documents with smart objects before and was able to open them in PS CS5 with dynamic objects intact. I don't know why is this now different in CC? I'm supposed to save a particular way to avoid losing my smart objects?

  The new version can open existing files,

  While the older versions of CS5 could open new files created with CC, but some features will not be supported.

• copy the smart object, paste in the new doc is smarter

  Here's the relevant part:

  app.activeDocument = backArt;
  var backDesign = backArt.activeLayer;
  backDesign.copy();
  app.activeDocument = backTemp;
  app.activeDocument.paste();
  

  If the layer I copy a dynamic object, it is no longer when stuck.  Is it possible to change this option or if not actually copy paste a layer which is a smart object?

  Both pis.  I was able to solve the problem using two copies instead of copy.

• Could not complete your request because the smart object is not directly editable

  Well, I'm trying to simply remove a background but photoshop won't let me do. It comes up with the error:

  Could not complete your request because the smart object is not directly editable

  I read on the internet, saying that I should "rastize" my diaper. I googled rastize, but I couldn't find a good answer is that rastize. Also, I tried to translate rastize into my mother tongue, but it also says rastize. However, my photoshop is in Dutch. I couldn't find the option 'rastize '. What should I do? Here is a screenshot:

  https://postimg.org/image/enzf7mah3/

  Rasterization is to flatten just this particular layer. Since you are using is a smart object, you can double click top in the layer panel and edited directly, or you can rasterize it. It is always better to do a non-destructive editing, so you really need to use a layer mask to remove the background rather than delete it. However, the position of pixelation here is a layer in the menu:

  

• Batch export smart object layers

  Hello.

  At work, I need to make a few models of covers of DVDs, magazines, books, etc.. Sometimes, I have several options to do both, as 20 magazine covers. Usually, I'm doing 30 layers within the smart object that I use in my comp and go by turning each on, update dynamic object and saving with a different file name.

  Is there a way to make an action that:

  1. Light (visible) has layers within a dynamic object.
  2. Save the smart object.
  3. Update in the main image.
  4. Save the image under a new name (if can be the name of the smart object layer, better).
  5. Turn on the next layer in the smart object and repeat.

  Does anyone have an idea?

  Thank you

  Luiz

  Why so many composite of layers files.  I think that everything you need is a PSD with layer comp that would save different versions of the DVD covers in the form of flat jpeg files.

• 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.

• vector collage as smart object

  I use CC 2015. I used to be able to copy a vector object from Illustrator and paste it into Photoshop as a smart object. So if I wanted to edit the smart object, double click on the layer it would open in Illustrator, I modifier edit in Illustrator, save it, and it updated in Photoshop. This workflow seems to be as gone with the wind. How can I get Photoshop works like it used to - double click on the layer and the opening automatically in Illustrator vector?

  Hi jayfresno,

  Please see the underside of the discussions related to the same question.

  Reference: Re: I update photoshop today and when I drag an object from illustrator to photoshop, the object doesn't turn into a dynamic object why?

  Let us know if the above can help.

  Kind regards

• 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,

  Refer to this article to the layers of filter based on the lack of linked smart objects: working with objects in dynamic in Photoshop

• Making smart objects in items 14

  Is it possible to make a layer into a smart object so that no matter how I change (distortion, graduation etc) it does not change the quality of the image?

  Interesting question...

  You can retrieve features "smart objects" with the elements Add on affordable +:

  http://elementsplus.NET/

  The default whan you drag another picture opened in the photobin in your working file is to create a smart layer.

  If your layer already has been simplified and modified,

  I think the following workflow might do what you want.

  -make the source layer the one selected in the layers palette (Alt click on the eye)

  -File / duplicate

  -back to the original file and display all layers

  -from the photobin, drag the new copy to the original file, it will appear as a smart layer.
