Smart objects mask layer

I converted the background image to a smart object, the sharpness filter applied, and then clicked on the smart object layer mask.  It is supposed to be filled with black and painted white so the smart filtering turns.  However, the layer mask is white, not black!  How can I get the fill either black and non-white.  Thank you.

When you add a layer mask by clicking on the layer mask icon at the bottom of the palette add layers, it will default to reveal all the active selection as a mask or a white layer mask. However it you hold down the ALT or Option Mac clicking on the layer mask icon add default is a layer mask to hide all black or the selection inverso active as a layer mask.

When you add the first smart filter at one end of the dynamic object a mask with filter will add. The mask will be the additional smart fill effect also the is only a filter mask.  The default filter mask is a mask to reveal white or an actress as a mask selection.

Once you have a mask, you can target and change it using the tools in Photoshop.  So if you have a reveal all mask and you want to be a skin all the mask mask targets and use Ctrl + I or CMD + I reverse.  So if you have a mask for dark tones, you can target contrast of the mask it and willingness to hide what's not shadows.

  • Each smart filter separately on a single smart object masking

    1. is there a way to mask each smart filter separately on one single smart object... other than the nesting of a dynamic object in the other?

    2. is there a way to remove the dynamic object created previously?

    I mean, let's say I have a dynamic object that contains four layers. Can I remove dynamic object of these layers?

    Thank you...

    1 #, nesting is the only way.

    2. Yes. Open the smart object. Drag the layers in the original document. Now you can remove the layer containing the smart object.

    Photoshop: Possibility of applying masks on smart filters

    Why can we not have a mask filter separated for each dynamic filter applied on the same smart object?

    Quote from Robert Ardill:

    I got a response from Adobe and it seems that the main difficulty is one of the performances. If the dynamic filters are all present and you paint on one filter masks then they have all updated in real time... that would clearly be very consuming and probably very slow.
  • 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

    Warren

    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.

  • To apply the edges of the poster to a smart object layer, but the filters Gallery is greyed out?

    Work a Photoshop tutorial on an image.  I want to apply the edges of the poster to a smart object layer, but the filters Gallery is greyed out.  Gallery of filters is also grayed out for all other layers in this project.  (PhotoShop CC)

    Hi filter Gallery,

    Please, click on the tab of the image above and choose 16-bit/channel to 8 bits/channel mode.

    Then check if the filters Gallery is always grayed out.

  • Format of smart object layer

    Hello

    in the previous discussion you helped me open a dynamic object. It works, but I have another problem.

    Survey script 'error General photoshop", because the smart object layer format cannot be opened in photoshop.

    So I want to ask you how to get a smart object layer format?

    Thanks Domaneni

    Know not if that's all you need to fix the error, but the function below returns the content type of active dynamic object.

    //
    // returns either "vectorData" ( AI ) or "rasterizeContent" ( PS or ACR ) if smart cbject layer
    // or undefined if not smart object layer
    //
    function getSmartObjectType(){
        var ref = new ActionReference();
        ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('Lyr '), charIDToTypeID('Ordn'), charIDToTypeID('Trgt') );
        var desc = executeActionGet(ref);
        if(desc.hasKey(stringIDToTypeID('smartObject'))){// is smart object?
            var desc = executeActionGet(ref).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID('smartObject')).getEnumerationValue(stringIDToTypeID('placed'));
            return typeIDToStringID(desc);

  • Photoshop smart object layer does not open in ACR when I double click

    I have a file open in photoshop raw, it reproduces, is smart, when objects I click on the smart object on the file icon, I get another copy of the file in photoshop, the file does not open up in acr, is there a setting I'm missing?

    Post edited by: Rodwf

    This is because the smart object is a raster layer image not a raw file.  If you want a smart object RAW you must do the ACR. Instead of clicking the image open in Photoshop button. Hold down the SHIFT key the key will change to open the object in Photoshop.

  • PS smart object layer to HAVE. How to use?

    I have successfully work vector objects HAVE in the form of objects that are placed in the PS by copy paste or file/place in a layer to smart object in PS, I find value in modified my dimensions of vector object in artificial intelligence and to see updated in PS,.

    but I don't know how to do the opposite, which means a jpeg to PS on a layer to HAVE as smart object, I pick a picture on its own layer in PSCS4 and convert to smart object, I have (right click) export content under jpeg dynamic object and then back in I go file/location of the jpeg smartobject, when I make changes to the PSsmartobject in the PS as a change of SHIFT or dimensional color nothing don't is past in artificial intelligence,

    I wish I had a picture pasted to PS in there by which I can change colors and dimensions or add pixels like paint on this layer smartobject in PS and then got updated it in artificial intelligence...

    Just to clarify, when you edit an image in photoshop, you must save the file in order for Illustrator to know that it was published.

  • Converted to the Smart Object layer

    When a text layer is a dynamic object, is there a way to remove the smart object so that the type becomes again a layer of regular type?

    Drag the PSO (the 'open' smart object) text layers in your original PSD doc. Don't know how to do it correctly.

  • Bug or feature: opacity and blend-if values wiped out when convert to smart object layer

    I had unexpected results in an action that I put in place. As I was browsing through, I found that the conversion of a smart object layer reset the opacity to 100% and removed everything if mixture adjustments, if the blending mode has been retained. This is certainly an unexpected effect - is this a bug?

    Dynamic objects are always created at 100% and wipe any other mixture, mixture still exists within the object itself. It is the most logical way and reasonable so that it works - you will realize this if you think that it is through. Blend modes are however sometimes copied the layer source or group, it is possible and it is a kind of shortcut.

    To get the original mix in the smart object layer - open the smart object, do a right click on the layer with the bending choose 'copy layer style correct. " Now return to your master document, you can 'paste layer style' in the smart object layer.

  • 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.

  • Citing the free transform on the smart object place encompassing top left

    I've got something weird going on in PS CC 2015. It runs on a computer Windows 10. I placed a psd file of a company in the active document logo. I shot it, scaled and added some layer styles. Then at some point I had to resize it again, so I called the free transform command, but now the framework encompassing loads in the upper left corner of the document. Any changes to one of the settings in the Panel Options F. T. causes the logo to disappear completely, even if I can go back to the default values. This occurs only after I added a mask to the layer. Without the mask, everything works fine - add the mask, and I get this oddity.

    No idea why?

  • Could not complete your request because the smart object is not directly editable

    Well, I'm trying to simply remove a background but photoshop won't let me do. It comes up with the error:

    Could not complete your request because the smart object is not directly editable

    I read on the internet, saying that I should "rastize" my diaper. I googled rastize, but I couldn't find a good answer is that rastize. Also, I tried to translate rastize into my mother tongue, but it also says rastize. However, my photoshop is in Dutch. I couldn't find the option 'rastize '. What should I do? Here is a screenshot:

    https://postimg.org/image/enzf7mah3/

    Rasterization is to flatten just this particular layer. Since you are using is a smart object, you can double click top in the layer panel and edited directly, or you can rasterize it. It is always better to do a non-destructive editing, so you really need to use a layer mask to remove the background rather than delete it. However, the position of pixelation here is a layer in the menu:
