Linked smart object layers

• Linked smart objects nested within the smart object, not automatically update

  I notice that if I have a smart object bound or smart, group with other layers in a new smart object feature updates of content updated the stops working and has to be done manually.

  This would be the creation of a mobile application by saying where I need the same key throughout all my 10 files.

  Say I have a button throughout several documents and would like to be able to easily change the color in all documents. I'd create an object bound and intelligent color sample. Then in my paper, I put this object linked above my shape of button and create a clipping mask. Then create a dynamic object out of these 2 layers.  I place this same button in all my documents. In my mind, I would always open the object bound and smart (color chart), change the color and it should be updated for the buttons in all of my open documents.

  This is not updated in the document all. Need to go in the dynamic button object and update updated content.

• 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.

• How to add metadata to a linked smart object?

  Hello

  I would like to add metadata custom linked smart objects. This metadata should not be visible in the Photoshop application but should only be accessed from javascript in extensions CEP. Also it must be registered with the PSD file so that when it is reopened I've always read. How can I do? Thank you!

• How to place a linked smart object?

  Hello

  It is possible to place linked smart object in photoshop document uses Photoshop plugin SDK or CEP extension sdk? Thank you!

  Yes. Here is the JavaScript code to do this via the extension of the CEP.

  // =======================================================

  var idPlc = charIDToTypeID ("Plc");

  var desc11 = new ActionDescriptor();

  var idIdnt = charIDToTypeID ("Idnt");

  desc11.putInteger (idIdnt, 2);

• Display linked smart object problem?

  I was really kissing linked smart objects recently. However I found on a few occasions, there are cases where a linked smart object seems to strangely, and I see pixels rounded curiously - almost as if she started scaling the picture a bit.

  

  The smart object linked above is correct, but the one below (linked the same file) is rendered differently. Two smart objects have been placed with identical dimensions, any scaling that occur here. Whenever I for now, place this file in the PSD I have this display problem. Around him, my only way is by duplicating that rendered correctly.

  Has anyone else encountered this problem?

  I worked on it.

  Essentially, when you insert the linked smart object even if I was seized to display 100% width & height (by default, that it has been globally as the source PSD has a smaller width/height), I had to then move the smart object after setting width & height 100% in order to then render correctly.

• Where are my linked smart objects linked too?

  So, I spent an hour looking online for what I thought was going to be a simple answer. Did not find.

  I work with a large team and we use linked smart objects. Us link to change some of the smart objects related to others. Normally I the old version of archives and solve the problem when I noticed the broken link, but I can't take the risk of a person including bad assets before that he go to dev.  Y at - it a simple dialog box or something that tells me that it is other files my linked smart objects linked too?

  I think that a Scripting solution is possible, but no default option for that comes to mind.

  Edit: An approach to script can use the filePaths listed in the XMP metadata but that gets refreshed only to save, it seems, so if the files have been placed as connected or associated SO deleted since the last save those not translate correctly.

  Including registration in the Script might however, make much of time and with 'Save in the background' it could still be problematic.

• You can extract higher resolutions of Smart Objects or linked smart objects?

  When I design at resolution of x 1, can I retrieve assets of smart objects and smart objects related to 2 x or more? If so, how they evolve upward?

  Yes, with reservations.

  PSD and Illustrator smart objects are also a new made and scaling smoothly to the requested resolution.

  Other dynamic objects (including those with filters) are only intensified since the resolution they are running in the Photoshop file. If you want to perform a new rendering, you can paste 100% resolution in a linked smart object and get the scaling smoothly.

• 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.

• 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.

• Linked smart objects scripts

  Does anyone know a way using available for Photoshop, preferred AppleScript script languages, to convert a smart object embedded in a dynamic linked object?

  Use only registered by ScriptingListener.plugin such action handler code.

  But you can use JavaScript if you're serious about automating tasks with scripting Photoshop.

• location of linked smart objects

  I have several PSD with a bunch of smart objects linked files that are organized in different folders. I am trying to replace a bunch of them (they all share a folder) in all my PSD and I that this change of name the chip original object file location to something else and by creating a folder with the name of old and new smart objects would automatically do this. It turns out that my PSD is still tied to the old smart objects despite the change in name of folder!

  I am very confused about what rename files has always broken links to files in other software (for example: indesign)

  How is photoshop followed by my folder name change? I even tried to move the location of the entire record without result, he still finds the photoshop.

  Is there a simple way to do what I want?

  It is finally worked after the addition of ' ~ ' at three levels of different folders

• No linked smart objects are loaded in the RAM of the Scratch disk or storage?

  Building a computer and I need to know where to invest.

  If a graphic artist made use of the dynamic in a file objects, and then when they "open" one of these smart objects, will be that load into memory (assuming that it has enough memory allocated), the disk scratch or - given that the dynamic object is 'stored' in the original file - the file work constantly read and writing directly from the drive the main file is saved to?

  I'm certainly not an expert but I understand that Photoshop has always the image in RAM to be able to work on it. (SO or something else)  If this RAM is not enough then Photoshop uses the drive working to "expand" the RAM. But even if it is enough will always be used the drive working. That's why most people use SSDS for zero and regular hard drives for storage.

  Remember that Photoshop is not the only one who is eating your memory. The operating system and a myriad of other programs and background processes all want their share...

• How to find info for Missing Linked Smart Object

  I received a file from another vendor, and they have a layer of dynamic object bound within the photoshop file that is missing.

  Is it possible to determine the layer file name/path/owner? In Illustrator and InDesign, it's possible, but I see no way to determine any info on the link. I need to communicate to the seller, what lack us.

  Hello

  You do not get the missing link dialog box?

  

  Another place to look is in the properties panel with the targeted layer.

• Copy a project with many levels of linked smart objects

  Hello colleagues!

  Expected Of OBJECTS INTELLIGENT LIES have become available as soon as I started again to use them in all of my complicated projects. And really improved workflows. Thanks adobe for this feature!

  But here's the question: How can I copy my PSD master which has several level of connected SO both? This PSD master linked PSD they have also linked PSD and so on...

  Looking at the structure of the file I don't know what are the files to take (there are lots of files which are not connected or that they have never been) and I need to copy only those that are important the integrity of my project from my PSD master.

  Photoshop does not provide us with a few cards of link, which can be traced back and show us all the necessary files...

  Any idea?

  Perhaps only the script will help...

  Use the package command to group all of the linked files.
