Illustrator CS4 smart objects?

• 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.

  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).

• Photoshop: Edit a linked smart object in Illustrator

  I've created a few vector shapes and text in Illustrator and paste in Photoshop as a vector object smart. I re - uses these elements, so I the converted to a linked smart object. Awesome. But now, when I double-click items in Photoshop to edit in Illustrator, the linked file just opens preview (I use Mac OS). It is possible to manually edit the linked file by double-clicking it in the Finder and selecting open in Illustrator. It is possible but not very effective. Converted into a dynamic linked object removes the ability to quickly open/edit my Photoshop vectors?

  Yes, it removes only the ability. To be able to do what you want, you must integrate the smart AI object in your file. It is inefficient.

• The Vector Smart Objects open in Illustrator

  This was good work but after recently update to Photoshop the connection "Photoshop > Illustrator" together seem to be broken. Whenever I try to double-click a vector smart object in the layers panel, I get this (instead of automatically open in Illustrator as before):

  

  Very annoying. I'm on PC. Help!

• 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?

• Smart object layer launches cc photoshop illustrator 2915

  in previous versions, I could double-click a smart object layer to open it in illustrator. Now, I get an error message:

  This is the message appears if it is flax or incorporated.

• Why my Illustrator smart objects distort in PS when I press T Apple?

  Hi all

  I'm placing an Illustrator file linked to a Photoshop document.

  I position the dynamic object and you press on enter.

  So I decide that I would still expand and slightly rotate the smart object. When I press Apple T (turn) it distorts juest.

  Why this is happening please?

  Correct image:

  

  Distortion when I press T Apple to expand or slightly rotate object

  

  Any help would be greatly appreciated,

  Thank you very much

  It seems that the object adapts to complete the jury of art it contains. The Board of the art to the limits of the work of culture solves this problem.

• Is it possible to change the text in a smart object in illustrator?

  Is it possible to change the text in a smart object in illustrator? Thank you much for the help!

  And can anyone recommend educational resources for someone (me) who is a user HAVE ten years who need to work in PS for web models? Anything other than a basic PS tutorial. Something this specific task-oriented. I'm not a beginner PS - but especially used for the correction of photo so far.

  Truly - thank you! BTW - I'm in the Suite of 6 CS and CC will not be at my disposal.

  If you double-click on the smart object icon in the palette layers in Photoshop, it will open the original illustrator file in illustrator to be able to change it.

• 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

  It seems that the operating system does not associate with Illustrator .ai files correctly.

  You will need to set the OS for files association I launch Illustrator.

• 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.

  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

• 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 salvation,

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

• 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.

• Photoshop - artifacts on Vector Image smart object

  Hi people,

  This is my first post. There may be a response to this somewhere on the forum already, but I can not just understand the search terms to use because the question is so specific.

  I have an image that has been live traced in Illustrator, then placed in a Photoshop document. The photo was traced to the highest possible fidelity in order to maintain the good detail. It was traced from an image of 72 DPI in order to raise the quality of a print run of 300 ppi. The problem I have is with the anti-aliasing in the dough or the place function (it happens to be) in Photoshop. I copied the part of the vector image and moved the opposite side of the object, as it was necessary for the design and then grouped it upward with the main object. In the image below, I circled the part copied in red:

  

  All sounds good in Illustrator, but when I paste or place it in Photoshop with active anti-aliasing, then a plethora of imperfections arise as wavy lines grey in passing a copy of the vector image, which I hope you will see below:

  

  If it is difficult to distinguish, simply compare the flowers duplicated on top left of the image of the original on the right of the image.

  If I turn off anti-aliasing at the image collage/placement, then these grey imperfections disappear, but the mix of colors and the edges of the leaves and flowers become jagged black background. To this end, I need to have the anti-aliasing feature enabled at the time of the image in Photoshop to maintain high image quality I'm after. The final image below shows what happens to the color of fusion when I do not use anti-aliasing:

  

  I hope someone can tell me what I'm missing here. The problem affects only the part a copy of the vector image. I guess this is where lies the answer, and so must be something that I have to change/do with the original in Illustrator vector so that it copies all information correctly; I don't know what it is that I need to change.

  Thanks in advance, people.

  Ben

  Update: I managed to find a solution, even if I can't always work on what caused the problem in the first place.

  The solution was to duplicate the vector smart object containing the flowers (circled in red in the first frame in OP) I duplicated originally from extended trace. I suspect it's just a quirk with anti-aliasing when you work with vectors in Photoshop. I can't be certain if.

• 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
