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?

  • Illustrator to Photoshop Smart vector object

  • Try to paste from Illustrator as a smart object

    Is there a trick to paste an image vector pixelated from Illustrator into Photoshop as a smart object and not introduce a bunch of smoothing that wasn't in the original file? My images are perfectly aligned with the pixel grid in Illustrator, and displays correctly rasterizes preview.

    This page is useful to deal with vector shape layers, but the techniques he talks do not work for dynamic objects. Strangely, he says that it is not a problem with smart objects, but I do.

    Here's an example of what I'm talking about: a simple image of pixel of 13 x 13 in turn shit in Photoshop Illustrator when pasted as a smart object (I know not a picture that is as simple as it could be pasted as a shape layer, but the I work with real images are much more complex and cannot be pasted in the form of simple shape layers).

    I'm using Photoshop CS4.

    > How to use these tools documentation could be improved so that when someone tries to do what wants to do the OP above, it can really accomplish its purpose?

    I'm not sure. It seems to be expecting behavior that should not. So I don't know what he thinks is happening, or what part it misunderstands.  I can document how the mathematics and applications work, but not all average people incorrectly assume that they work.

    Nod to the pixel grid option vector will manage the outline of the shape-, but maybe inside aliasees according to the position and size of the shape as well as the definition of the original form of vector.  Most of the time, vectors do not align with the pixel grid, but we can force the outside edges to align. Inside edges usually cannot be aligned with limits of pixels without deforming the wrong form (in the case where it is possible at all).

  • I'm updating photoshop today and when I drag an object from illustrator to photoshop, the object doesn't turn into a dynamic object why?

    Update photoshop today and when I drag an object from illustrator to photoshop object market not turning into a smart object why?

    OK - think I have this sorted out now.

    When you copy and paste an Illustrator file in Photoshop, you get the dialog box PASTE.

    You can paste as smart object, Pixels, path and shape layer. In the past, you would select depending on what you want (in my case for most Smart Object) and viola - you have your dynamic object. However, in the newly revised version, there is a checkbox in low called "Add to my current library" If this box is checked, it becomes a library file that displays with a 'cloud' icon in the layer. If you uncheck the 'Add to my current library' it won't matter as a regular smart object.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • vector collage as smart object

    I use CC 2015. I used to be able to copy a vector object from Illustrator and paste it into Photoshop as a smart object. So if I wanted to edit the smart object, double click on the layer it would open in Illustrator, I modifier edit in Illustrator, save it, and it updated in Photoshop. This workflow seems to be as gone with the wind. How can I get Photoshop works like it used to - double click on the layer and the opening automatically in Illustrator vector?

  • 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.

  • 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:

    RGPUe49.jpg

    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:

    YO8isvP.jpg

    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:

    xv0DXfw.jpg

    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.

    Ben

    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.

  • The Vector Smart Objects open in Illustrator

  • 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.

  • Illustrator CS4 smart objects?

    Hello
    I'm creating a vector illustration of an ipad or similar. I want to be able to retain the scale vector and have the ability to change the image of the screen of the ipad to a different image. The layer of the screen image is currently using a mask to define the area of the screen and there are a couple of top containg light layers that overlay the screen image.

    I tried to select the current image and 'place' a new image, but I just get a new layer with an image caught on top of the previous image.

    Can someone suggest a simple method to add the new image to the screen. The final file will be provided to people with even more limited knowledge of illustrator than me.


    I also tried to export the image in photoshop and then transform the image screen in a smart object layer. Then clicking on the smart object to open the layer, drag and drop the new image on the smart object open and then saving it. This method replaces the image, but when I tested the scalability of the last image in photoshop by changing the size of the image to 10% and then back to the original size image has fuzzy edges. Maybe because some live effects in illustrator (e.g. blur, inner glow) are not not vector in Photoshop?


    Thanks for any help you can provide
