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.

Elk-Lady.gif

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.

  • How to duplicate a smart object and then modify it, without affecting the original?

    I have an element of vector illustrator that I am placed in a t-shirt mockup in photoshop. I have the provision essentially how I want, but I'm trying different color variations. I think that simply duplicate the initial placement and then change the color of the copy resulting, but this affects both the copy and the original. I looked into it a little further and found that I should try the option "replace contents" under smart objects, and that it would change the copy. Then I go back to illustrator, made a copy of the original vector and then the color change I had in mind and then saved as a separate document that I could use then by replacing the contents of the copy. However, still affects two smart objects!

    I tried this like linked smart objects and smart objects shipped without success.

    In the end, I just want to maintain the position of the original layer with the layer duplicated and edited. If you know a better way, please share!

    Layer > Smart Object > new Smart Object by copy. It forks a new, independent so (cut and paste or duplicate maintains the link between them).

    When you double-click the SO thumbnails in the layers panel, it opens the SO in the main application, in this case to have.

    Do Save your changes (not save money, unless you want to distribute the SO in a separate file, normal).

  • What is the 'best' way to copy a useful project again, so it can be changed without affecting the original?

    I'm pretty much a newbie to LavVIEW.

    I use LabVIEW complete edition on Windows 7 2012.  I copied a project using Save As duplicate in the Project Explorer.  He created an excessively long and complex directory structure.  He made "too long" (probably from the path being too long).

    The intention was to obtain a copy of the project can be used to freely modify it without damaging the original.

    I searched the Forum and knowledge base, do not see anything definitive.  I guess that information is already posted, but just, I have not been able to find.  A point in the right direction would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Mark

    Copy the directory of the whole project to a new location

    Delete the files .lvlps, .lvprog and the new .aliases copy

    Start LabView and create a new empty project

    In the project manager, add a new auto fill directory select the new copy of the project directory

    Save the new project in the new project directory

    Only caveat is that this does not all dependencies in your user.lib or inst.lib for the first time, you open a vi that you might find some of the dependencies that are not in the default locations.

  • 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...

  • Work on keyframes in copied sequence change the original sequence as well (first Pro CS5.5)

    Hello world

    Maybe it's a very basic question, but looking on the forum did not bring to the top of the related issues, so I'm going:

    Let's say I have copy a sequence in first Pro CS5.5 and paste it into the same project. I have a few textclips with keyframes in them. (I do, because the videos remain the same, I just write different things in them.) When I change the keyframes in the copied sequence, the way that I need them out there and then come back to the original clip, keyframes it changed as well. This isn't what I wanted.

    So my question is: How can I make a copy of a sequence and then work on it without changing the original at the same time? Why are they related in any way? What's a selection in my version of Premiere Pro or is it a general thing?

    Be great if someone could explain it to me.

    Thank you!

    When you open your title for editing, press the new title based on the current title in the title Editor button; It's one that looks like the film with the "T" in it. This will create a new title in the sandbox, but will not replace the current instance of the title. However, you can simply drag this copied to the instance title, hold the Opt/Alt key and drop it onto the animation instance, copied. This will replace the contents of the clip, but preserve the animation.

  • the files can be copied without overwriting the existing files?

    I want to copy music files from an external hard drive to my laptop without any duplicates. files can be copied without overwriting the existing files?

    Yes, you can.

    You can either use the simple method of drag - move or the right click move optionfrom context menu.

    Method of drag - move will have a copy of the music even external drive and one copy in your personal folder.
    Move To method will be "moving" the music file from the drive of the post to your personal folder. No duplicate.

    If you do not have CopyTo and Move To options in your right click context menu, use this tutorial:

    It looks like you copied a symbol from one image to another, then
    "gone in ' and edited this symbol... what you need to do is create a copy
    the symbol and change this one instead... IOW...

    step 1:
    'symbol1_mc' in the library is duplicated to create 'symbol2_mc '...

    Step 2:
    you copy your picture 1 on frame 2 of the timeline just as you did

    Step 3:
    Use the properties panel to switch on stage (and the second image)
    "symbol1_mc" with "symbol2_mc"... so that you now have 'symbol1_mc '.
    frame 1 and 'symbol2_mc' on frame 2

    Step 4:
    then edit "symbol2_mc".

  • How to delete a picture library "referenced" without deleting the original photos in the application which is used to compensate for my projects?

    I made the mistake of setting up Apple Photos on my Mac Pro using the library option "referenced" (which is where my computer file are not copied in the Photos). However, throughout the year, I started to do the 'projects' in pictures by which I copied some files of original photos in the Photos app. My library is now made up of a mixture of many referenced files and some originals copied into the app.

    Now I did some heavy reorganization and clean up the photos in my computer folder, but obviously none of these changes can be found in the photos referenced in the Photo app.

    My goal now is to started using iCloud Photos but I want to do with a clean slate (i.e. without using one of the current referenced library that I have pictures).

    I have two questions:

    (1) is there a way to Photos to delete ONLY the pictures that are files referenced and not the originals that are copied into the app?

    (2) if the above is not possible, then what happens to my projects if I simply delete all the photos I have in the app? I'll always be able to see the photos of the calendar, that I did for example?

    I'm afraid that if I delete my entire library I will not be able to access my projects more in the future. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can manage this?

    Thank you very much.

    A

    You can consolidate all of the photos that are referenced. If you have used photos referenced in the projects (calendars, books), select the photo in your photo library and use the command "file > consolidate."  This will copy the original referenced in your photo library.

    To find all the files referenced requiring consolidation of create a smart album:

    File > new Smart Album

    Set the constraint for the album 'Photo is referenced.

    Now you have all the photo referenced in an album. You can select the photos in this album and either use ' file > consolidate "to copy in the library or press the ⌘⌫ key combination to delete the picture from the library.

    Before you consolidate or remove a photo referenced, using ' file > reveal in Finder ' to view the original file.  This way you can remove the copy on your disk after you have removed the photo from your photo library.  If the referenced file is left behind, pictures will not remove.

    If you want to use your photo library with iCloud photo library, it is essential to consolidate the pictures referenced, because referenced photos cannot download on iCloud photo library.

  • A copied XPJ crashed the Original XPJ

    What I use:

    • Windows 7
    • 7 HR

    Problem:

    I got a job XPJ in a folder, I was original XPJ files and make a copy of it to apply a new CSS while keeping the original as a return to the top. The copied version is in the SAME folder as the original XPJ as not to spoil anything. I did this for multiple files without problem. I copied my last one and HR crashed after the copy. Now the XPJ original will open (you can see all the files everything) just to have Robohelp crashes shortly after, before you start working on it!

    I get the typicall that RoboHelp 7 has stopped working. A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. But there is no solution.

    I just hope that my fear became reality that I lost the orignal work!

    How can I fix the XPJ no longer planting robohelp?

    * I found an OLD OLD to the top of this project and I have nocticed is my current copy has an .ldb file (it looks like a Microsoft Access), while the old BACKUP does not have this file. This could be the reason why he used completely open?

    First RoboHelp 7 is not supported on Windows 7 and may very well have problems.

    I don't understand how you came to this situation. Why you copy the XPJ project file in the same folder or in fact why copy at all? Also, what is that has to do with changing the CSS?

    The LDB file is created when you open a project that the PCD file is a Microsoft Access database with a special extension. The LDB file is created when you open an Access database and should be deleted when it is closed. He night cancelled if left step. If the project is closed you can remove.

    Now how do get out you of this. Looks like your way of working with the XPJ is the first cause, then you will have to try to open the project with the HHP file after deleting the CPD and XPJ file. You will lose a few things, but see the projects on my site for the methods to recover.

    We know why you work this way, so that maybe we can find a better solution.

  • How can I place several smaller images of varying size on one page for printing without losing the original size.  Board contact option to resize my pictures

    Does anyone know how to place several small pictures on a single page, so I can print them out as a rather print over and over again.  I want to maintain the original size of the images that vary somewhat.  I tried to use the option of the Board-contact, but he seems to want to resize my images which unfortunately is of no use to me.  I tried to cut and paste on a new page, but I don't think that it is now the original size.

    Alternative applications sometimes can provide quick and easy results.

    It might be interesting to download the demo version of Photoline: it includes a simple Board-contact option that allows for images to be included without loss of resolution, i.e. the original is left intact and the proportions remain unchanged. Since Photoline also supports documents several pages, all the thumbnails are collected into rows and columns, the user can control and the end result can be exported as PDF.

    -Download the trial of pl32.com

    -Open Photoline, then open the browser (CTRL/CMD (B)

    -Navigate to your folder with the images you want to combine for printing.

    -right mouse click in the thumbnail view, and then select "Create image Catalog.

    -Select the page by Page size

    -under 'Size' define the number of rows and columns (there are here a translation error: "Spalten (COL) / rows (lines)".)

    -Uncheck "scale photos physically." This ensures that the original images are intact and incorporated in full resolution.

    And then click OK.

    Some of the other testing devices until you get a satisfactory result. Then export it to PDF.
