• 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.

• 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!

  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.

• 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.

• 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'));
        }
      }
    } 
  

• 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 :-)

• Develop Lightroom and raw Photoshop smart objects

  I understand the function develop that Lightroom and Photoshop raw adjustments are the same.  So I adjust in one or.  I can then open the image as a smart object in photoshop. I can then perform other settings as an adjustment layer. I think it's the same as a function to develop Lightroom and Photoshop raw adjustments?  I understand the dynamic objects allows to edit not destructive and dynamic filters.

  SO my questions are: when you would not open the image as a smart object? Surely that I should always open the image as a smart object?  If I want to make objects not allowed to smart edition as Clone Stamp I can then create a new layer and then apply the Clone Stamp to the layer, I can't?

  Then, should I also convert all layers to smart layers or leave them as a normal layer.

  Or third, I'm away from the track?

  Check that the size of the file of this image saved under Camera Raw smart object... make sure that you ALWAYS want to use THE? Hope you have big hard disks...

  Camera Raw Smart Objects are indeed useful especially when you want to melt renderings ACR 2 or more in a single file. But Smart Objects are a lot more limited than files regular pixel. Use them when it makes sense...

• Quickly download/modify a group of new smart object

  Hello! I have a file in photoshop with a 5-10 + images, each of them different East. It is protected by a kind of model.

  Is it possible to do it in 1-2 clicks? Not just manually edit each image smart object, but simply download new file, then it will be done automatically?

  Sorry for my bad English and I thank you!

  You use Photoshop CC? If I understand you correctly, you can use dynamic objects linked to simplify things:

• 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.

• Cannot open photo in lightroom 5.7 as a smart object in items 13

  Tried to reinstall and update of lightroom and elements without success (using Windows 10); online search found messages with the similar problem, but no real solution.

  You must have version FULL of Photoshop to use the command 'open as Smart Object in Photoshop... ».  This does not work with the elements.
