How to detect smart objects in Photoshop?

Hello

I need to detect the smart objects files related to local level to specific JavaScript locations in the HTML5 extension. How can I do this?

Consider this pseudo-code:

  if (app.documents.length)
  {
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    for (var ilayer = 0; ilayer < doc.artLayers.length; ilayer++)
    {
      var layer = doc.artLayers[ilayer];
      if (LAYER_IS_LINKED_SMART_OBJECT(layer))
      {
        var localFilePath = GET_SMART_OBJECT_REFERENCED_FILEPATH(layer);
      }
    }
  }

Here, I need implementations of two functions:

1 LAYER_IS_LINKED_SMART_OBJECT()

2 GET_SMART_OBJECT_REFERENCED_FILEPATH()

Thank you in advance!

Here is the final solution (with no error checking):

  if (app.documents.length)
  {
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    for (var ilayer = 0; ilayer < doc.artLayers.length; ilayer++)
    {
      var layer = doc.artLayers[ilayer];
      if (layer.kind == LayerKind.SMARTOBJECT)
      {  

        var ref = new ActionReference();
        ref.putIdentifier(charIDToTypeID('Lyr '), layer.id );

        var desc = executeActionGet(ref);
        var smObj = desc.getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID('smartObject'));
        var localFilePath = smObj.getPath(stringIDToTypeID('link'));
      }
    }
  }

How to edit smart objects?

Hello:
I searched on Youtube, etc. manual Adobe for tutorials, information and basically how to as Smart Objects.
First of all, I would like to know how to change a smart object. I read that you can change them if so far I could not find anything that will teach me exactly how I go on a smart object editing and how and then reinsert it into the work.
I made a calendar icon where a single layer is a dynamic object. Later, I wanted to change the color of the layer. Then, I clicked on the smart object layer and it opened in another window but when I chose a new color and tried to fill it out I was unabel to do.
So, if you are already aware of a place where I can learn more I'd greatly appreciate links that you may have.
I'm still not very good with key words to find what I need, but I'm learning.
As always, thank you for your time

In photoshop, double-click the thumbnail in the layers panel. It will open the smart object, so you can change it. Be sure to save to update. More info on photoshop, feel free to create a new post to the thread in the forum of photoshop, this c.pfaffenbichler kindly posted for you.

What is the best way to manipulate the shape of a layer to smart object in Photoshop?

I have a smart object in photoshop which is a rectangle, and I want to deform slightly so it looks it was filed on the ground (basically, I need to change the position of the corners to make it look in perspective).
If I did that to an object in Illustrator I was going to just use the direct Selection tool and drag the anchor points in the corners of the rectangle. I know there is a direct selection tool in Photoshop, but my smart object doesn't seem to have all the anchor points on it to manipulate (v. new Photoshop user, sorry).
I know you can use a mesh of string objects, but as this is just a simple rectangle I was hoping that it would be a less complicated way? That it's just the positioning of the corners that must fit.
Thanks for the tips!
Alanna

Alanna salvation,

You can use Edition > free transform or Ctry/Cmd-T, to reshap the smart object.

LR4.1: 'Edit In' > 'open as Smart Object in Photoshop... "function. "does not work with 32-bit

Hello
I am running LR4.1/CS5/ACR6.7 on a Win7 64 bit system.
The function 'Edit-In' > 'open as Smart Object in Photoshop... '. "works Ok with raw files (.) (NEF).
However, when I try to use the same functionality with 32-bit. TIFF files (which came out of the LR4.1 'Edit' > 'Merge to HDR Pro in Photoshop...) ("another feature), nothing happened (the Photoshop windows application opens but out of the picture I have just chosen).
I used engines research and Adobe online help to see if there was any limitation preventing the use of this feature with 32-bit. TIF files but could not see this note.
Thanks for your help!
Albert

Have you tried convert your 32-bit Tiff in a DNG (could save first...)?

The new DNG specification is supposed to manage higher-bit images. Maybe the DNG format you will get beyond the issue.

How is changing Smart Objects function?

I resized one of my smart objects (which already isolated action at this particular file) but found that the same dynamic object in other files have also been affected. Change something? How all untie them? They are the same smart object that I placed in different files in different sizes.

It sounds like you using a linked smart object, old version of Photoshop only had the embedded objects. You menu file > Place new version of Photoshop's file menu > Place incorporated and file menu > related site

How to use smart objects to make models?

Hey guys,.
I was download a few models to use in my wallet and I want to start making my own for some I can not find on the web. I managed to do an asset realistic looking for what I want, but I don't know how to add text and other things. Usually, when I open a downloaded PSD mockup I double-click on the smart object, edit the content, press on save and BOOM it is perspective for whatever I change.
However, I made dynamic object and I am trying to edit the content, so when I double click it just opens the new and all purpose that I created ad, but it does not save the prospect. If that makes sense... (see the screenshots)
So my question is,
How to make a dynamic object to change the content (text, images, logo, etc. etc.) on a plain PSB and PSD so it registers in the corner or point of view I want? Is there something different that I do. Can we make a step by step guide?
It's my design until I double click on the smart layer
Here is the image when I double click on the active layer (not exactly what I want).
Here's a mockup I downloaded when I double click on the next show pictures of what I want.
That's what I want to do in my design of the original, but how do I get the text to do it with a smart object? I want to change the text in my design and apply (not necessarily this design, but my own) to my dynamic object (first image), I created in photoshop. How can I do this?

Make the text of the same size or larger and put it into a smart object: filter > convert to smart object. Without it, you can turn the text, but you do not have as many transform options. Once you have the text in the dynamic object, select Edition > transform > warp. Then you can drag the corner of the text points to fit the shape of the card.

smart objects in Photoshop

My Pixelize dynamic objects with the resizing. When imported in EPS, placed directly vectors of GOT it, my smart objects Pixelize with resizing. Also, my dynamic objects are not make hi res when exporting to PDF, however they have the thin air in photoshop and design. Im confused, that's the first time in photoshop has already done that for me.
Please note that my anti-aliasing button is checked when objects are placed.
Thank you!!!
Alanna

If you create your pdf to 72 dpi, then this is where I think that your problem lies. You can it not output at 300 PPI? This way your result would be much better.

Paste a vector smart object in Photoshop

I was wondering if anyone knew a way to paste a vector smart object from illustrator into photoshop without the forthcoming dialog box which you accept the size/place of the object.
I am able to do this using the code of the scriptlistener plugin spit but not without it. Unfortunately, I do turn a few problems with the help of the code the scriptlistener spit so I was wondering if anyone knew a way to do without that.
Thank you!

The only other way I can think of is to use...

app.activeDocument.paste ();

Call an external program to send an enter in Photoshop.

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?

You can I think to score your own answer as the answer, so people will notice the thread.

where can I find smart object in photoshop? Not the button but the actual location of the file.

Could someone tell me where to find the file saved to the dynamic object? I need to change my mac and all move to the new machine. I want to make sure I have everything, I'm missing all the PSB to smart object files. Where is he? and please don't tell me that I need to copy one by one to the temp folder that appear ONLY when I open the smart object.

Unless the dynamic object is a dynamic object-related, they are stored in the master file. There is no separate file. When you double-click and edit the file SO, it opens the PSB file in the OS temp directory and deletes this file once the main file is closed, unless you save it in another location.

Transform will not work on a smart object in Photoshop CC 2015

I can't to scale the smart object. I take the transformation handles and pull it where I want, but when I let go of the handle the transformation box disappears and the image returns to its original size. He will not keep the transformation.
It's been a while, but I know that I've done it before. A suggestion that I read was to rasterize the smart object. Who does not use the transformation, but it removes the ability to open the smart object and make adjustments in Camera Raw. When I'm compositing, I want to use the smart object to quickly set things like the color temperature.
Anyone know the solution?

Try to reset your preferences: ctrl/cmd-alt/opt-shift at the start of the PS.

Cannot change a smart object in photoshop cc HAVE 2015

It's a 'novelty' or am I missing something? I know there are now 2 types of dynamic object and tried to change the content both via the properties panel where I get a warning "cannot open the application". I can't - with a link, not a shipped - open the AI file and change it but it was easier in the old way, by double clicking on the icon in the layers panel

I also noticed this... but I think the answer is simple... When you import it uncheck Add to my current library.... and it should behave as usual :-)

How update you the location of linked smart objects?

The new feature of the linked smart object has a discrete function but it fundamentally changes our workflow for the better!
Quick question, is possible to update the paths to the linked smart objects or Photoshop it will work to? I can't see a links under window or file panel so do not know how do you sorry.
I am about to change these files at home and want to make sure that Photoshop can find the links - but also find everything when I copy everything back on the server and work.
See you soon
Ben

If a link is moved from its location, when you open the file that contains the link, you will get a dialog box asking to located the missing file.
