vector collage as smart object

• 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.

  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.

• Objects vector smart object - file format

  What is the best file format to save a photoshop file that has a number of vector smart objects that will eventually print? File can be placed in illustrator or indesign prior to be expelled to the printer either as direct files or on the PDF.

  Danny is correct: smart objects are STILL pixelated in resolution of the PSD, regardless of the format that you save it in.

  If you want to print any dynamic objects with imported objects vector (illustrator?) to setter image max resolution, you must extract these objects in the PSD file and rebuild the design in Illustrator or InDesign.

  It means that the smart object in question, which opens in Illustrator, and then save the file as a file HAVE editing. Remove the smart object in the PSD in Photoshop, then save a new version. Note the exact dimensions and positions. Open the file in InDesign and rebuild the original.

  If the layer effects have been applied in Photoshop to a matter SO vector: no chance. You will need to generate layers separated in the best of cases, or begin to recreate the effects in Illustrator in the worst case scenario. Or a combination of both.

  Vector shapes and the Type that were generated in Photoshop with effects applied to him may be problematic if the resolution of the PSD is insufficient. However, the outline remains vector while recording in Photoshop PDF format. Import the PDF into InDesign retains the sharp vector contour. Just make sure that the native resolution of the Photoshop document is high enough to produce a strong impression for effects (which will be pixels).

  The problem is that a lot of designers decided to convert their photoshop vector shapes and text in smart objects - and this will rasterize the result, no matter what. And there is no easy way to "unsmart" a dynamic object.

  A method (far from perfect) is:

  • Double-click the smart object to open it in a new window
  • Select all the layers in the .psb (dynamic object) that opens
  • Choose Layer > Group the menu
  • Hold down the SHIFT key and drag the window of smart objects to your original document with the move tool window.
  • Drag the icon fx the dynamic object for the new group of layers layer you just drag over
  • Remove the smart object layer.

  The only caveats to this method are scale and positioning. You may have to reposition some groups according to their interaction with the edges of the original document. And if you scale the smart object layer, you may need to scale of the group as well.

  Here is a script that automates some of this: http://blog.kam88.com/en/expanding-smart-objects-script.html

  This will ONLY work with SOs that were created in Photoshop.

  Dynamic objects are bothersome creatures indeed. Much too easy for designers unknowing to destroy the intent of vectors and difficult and potentially very tedious to undo in a news environment.

  The problem is that a lot of users tend to abuse of Photoshop as a request to print 'all-in-one' layout

• 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?

• Vectors in the shared library now appear as a "smart object" when you drag a PSD document in 2015

  When they added the library I was overjoyed but now with CC 2015 when I drag my vector objects from my library in a PSD document they no longer drop as a vector but a variant of a dynamic object (has an icon of cloud beside him). It is very undesirable because I need to be able to use these vectors in sizes very easily without having to edit a smart object each time. Is it possible outside decommissioning to 2014 to change this behavior in the libraries?

  All my libraries were created in 2014 CC photoshop vectors. I use all of the other CC apps with libraries.

  Dragging an asset library creates a linked smart object that can only be changed if you open the assets of the cloud. If you hold down the Alt/opt, you get the old way and a local copy of this asset which can be edited in PS.

• How to make the placed images/vectors remain within the boundaries of a smart object?

  Hi all.

  I have a question which I think has a simple solution, but it is difficult to find.

  I have a photo from a greeting card with rounded corners. I made the greeting card in shape a dynamic object... I want to drop my vector art of cards in the smart object to create easy shots for a website (model model style).

  My problem is this: when I stick my chart in the psb to smart object document, it remains within the limits of the object dynamic when I save it and return to the document .psd. for example if I fit my larger vector art, there will be a great vector art saved in the original psd rather than inserting in this "round card window. What I am doing wrong, that my account will be not cropping correctly? Same thing with if I try to add textures, they do not stay within the smart object... I'd appreciate your help with a simple solution. Some pictures below.

  Thank you

  Image 1. The shape of the dynamic object.

  

  2. the vector art. I paste in the dynamic object of psb document... Yet when I save the smart object and check related DSP, graphic design is great and not cropped within the smart object.

  I have resorted to copy my smart object layer, drag it to the top and deleting a selection reverse... but there must be a much easier way!

  

  3. what happens when I save the smart object...

  

  Well,'re missing you a layer mask or a clipping mask to crop the content of coverage.

  I would use a clipping mask, which makes life easier than a layer mask. As follows:

  

  To create a clipping maskor click on the border between the two layers.

• Vector smart object inside another dynamic object with loss of quality suite scale

  Hello

  I have 6 icons created in Illustrator and imported as vector smart objects.

  Then, I select all 6 and create another object of Smart from there.

  If I resized now this dynamic object, it loses it s quality, as if the icons are raster in the first place.

  This is not what happened in PS CS5.

  It s a bug or "novelty"?

  Rodrigo C.

  You must realize that Photoshop makes pixels for the embedded object then when you resize the smart object layer it evolve as and layer rasterizes by interpolation not reduced with vector graphics. His work of the layers the way smart object. His is a very old thread on the topic

• Vector smart object is rendered wrong.

  Has anyone cross a problem when pasting of the complex vector smart objects in Photoshop CC?

  I created a form in Illustrator CC, it adds an extrude and bevel effect and then pasted as a smart object in Photoshop CC. The first example of what it looks like in Illustrator CC, the second is that it sticks like in Photoshop CC.
  As you can see, it's making it very difficult and totally unusable as a smart object.

  

  I've recently updated to CC, and it never happened in CS5. Is there a new CC preference that can reproduce the vector objects? Maybe something I cut by accident?

  Thank you

  Mike

  Photoshop is made just as Illustrator in the PDF or EPS file.

  And the rendering quality has greatly improved since CS5.

  But Photoshop can use Illustrator puts in the PDF or EPS file (written Illustrator it's own private data of institutions - which is what it works with for editing).

• 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.

  .......  Because of dough does not create a Smart Object layers...

  You can paste the items copied from Illustrator into Photoshop as smart objects - just choose this option.

  

  Magneticbear: When you place your object in Photoshop, you have the Antialias checked (in the options bar) before commit you the transformation?  Without it, you would get the result of type you specify.

• 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.

• What happened to the automatic editing vector smart object function?

  Photoshop has been recently updated,

  in Photoshop previous app when the layer double click on a dynamic object that were made with copy/paste from illustrator, illustrator open editing automatically, now I get this message:

  

  Windows 7 operating system.

  How can someone drag a layer to illustrator?

  It does not work

  bring this function please... :-), this feature is necessary

  is it something to do with the preferences of the application?

  Thanks in advance

  :-)

  If you pasted as a smart object with the option 'Add to my current library' enabled, I think that Photoshop will use the version of the library.

  Uncheck the option 'Add to my current library' to get the old way back.

• 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.

• OMG WTF Adobe! -Part 1: Smart objects have an IQ of zero

  I used the online support chat, then I called support and still no help from Adobe... They took my number and had to call back me with help/solution.  Nothing... just let hang me... beautiful Adobe, a faithful service customer CC failure!

  OK, then all of a sudden (last week) none of my smart objects (normally the vector illustrator files) will update automatically in Photoshop.  No error messages, nothing!  He killed my workflow.  My productivity has been largely paralyzed.

  
  Adobe needs to find a quick solution!  If anyone knows a solution please share.

  Part 2 to come...

  There is no general alert, like a dialog box that appears. There is a warning on the layer icon.

  

  Then you can update this layer or all the layers by right clicking on the layer in the layer panel.
