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.

I have the following graph:
It was in fact a police originally, but I converted it to paths. I wonder what is the best way to go to fill it (if I can put between the black contour color)? It seems that when I change the fill, the outline of the image is what changes. Sorry if this is obvious, but I searched and could not find a reasonable answer (maybe I'm phrasing it bad?).
Try the live paint.

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.

Looks like you have Anti Aliasing, the None value in the options bar. The other parameters will make a huge difference, if that's what is happening.

Hello
I am new to writing plugins. I want to implement the funtion Layer.applyPreset script using the AEGP_ methods. I can already run the sript by using AEGP_ExecuteScript. But wonderging if there is a native method to do so.
Kind regards
Victor
Hi VicCollabWorks!
Welcome to the forum!
as far as I know, there is no method of the C API to apply a pre-selection of an effect.
AEGP_ExecuteScript is the way to go.
(Bravo for catching that)

What are the requirements (s) I'm missing to fully run Photoshop?
I just installed Photoshop CC and got a message saying that I might not some of the minimum requirements to run all the features of Photoshops. When I open Photoshop, some sectors, such as 3-d effects, are gray. I got another message saying update my graphics driver may solve the problem, although the most recent driver is already installed. These are my specs:

I would greatly appreciate your advice.
Use the align palette and define an object as a key object. Choose align to: and that is defined on the object key (if not already set)
