[@adnanmalik9543]

Thanks, Buddy it is awesome, be smart use smart

[@JitendraSingh-gp8ry]

That is quite important for everyone..i like it and shared

[@robinalcorn5140]

If you open up the smart object of the rug you can apply a different pattern. When you return to the main file the new pattern will appear with the perspective transformation intact. You can actually create a whole library of rug designs within the smart object while you look for the perfect one.

It's very good! Thank you!

[@SusanneGeert]

Very great tutorial - thanks for taking the time to create this I have a question: How do you replace PART of one image with PART of another image using smart objects? Example: I have two images of a product (candy bag) in a styled setting on a table. The light on the product is better in image B but I want to use image A as my starting point and add image B's candy bag to replace the candy bag in image A. I need to tweak it since the shape is a bit different between the two images. How do I do that? I guess my biggest struggle so far is how to save the image B (or that part of it that is the candy bag) to then be able to place it as a Smart object in image A? Thanks a lot in advance 🫶

[@hardiksolanki4908]

Sir please can you make a video on how you manipulate this ordinary photo to an amazing interior ... I'm really surprised after seen the transformation

[@chrisredlich6546]

[@ihtishamulhaq7504]

really nice.. great

[@ptitejeanne]

Great vidéo I give u my tip to apply free transform tool to vector smart objects Import or paste your Vector in PS and chose the option 'paste as a pixels' Make a smart object with this New layer than édit it and paste the Vector in it as vector Close Now you have a smart object in a smart object You Can apply free transformations with it Sorry for m'y english 😶

[@LauraEmpths]

[@GeorgetaBlanaru]

Great! Thank you 🙏

Waiting for the next tutorial

[@EPHONIC]

Here's one that may stump you! I have an image of a page of a brochure (from an imported PDF to Photoshop). I pasted it into Photoshop and then converted it to a Smart Object. I, then, scaled that down and used Free Transform > Distort to align the page overtop of a mockup image below. Once I was complete, the brochure text appeared sharp and chunky and wasn't clean pixels. I was thinking it was something to do with interpolation or bicubic reduction, etc. but I have tried everything to fix it. Still appears bad. Any clue on why and how to fix?

[@eartho]

and another mistake a few later when you say that file size doesn't increase when you duplicate embedded SOs. It most certainly does increase as Ps will duplicate the saved SOs file size for every copy. So if you have a 30MB SO, duplicate it will add another 30MB to your file size.

[@eartho]

You've made a pretty big mistake at 13:26 by saying that Ps has a good resampling algo when scaling up. This is only true if you've intentionally set the interpolator in the preferences. Unfortunately, the best algo they have, preserve details 2, isn't available for SOs.

[@fightlikabrave]

When you double click to edit a smart object and it opens in another window, what key/shortcut are you using to close that window and go back to the main window while making sure the changes save?

[@YesImaDesigner]

Fightlikabrave there is not a single shortcut for that. I press Cmd+S and then Cmd+W.

[@franktielemans6624]

Maybe you can create an action for it and define a shortcut.

[@joelprince6339]

What to do if we forgot to smart object

[@japple991]

I have a question I cannot find an answer to. After I create a design I like to make a merged layer of the composition and edit it in camera raw. However, the problem is that if I want to change anything from the original comp, even if the merged layer is a smart object and I can move around the camera raw effect, I still have to make the change, then re merge and apply the camera raw. Is there any way that I can have it so that if I edit the original comp. the stamp/merged layer automatically updates? Thanks

[@YesImaDesigner]

Combining your comp into a Smart Object and applying the Camera Raw as Smart Filter is probably the best way of keeping things non-destructive. I'm not sure why it doesn't work for you though, it wasn't clear from your comment. Make sure you save the changes in the smart object source file to see them update in the main comp PSD.

[@japple991]

@@YesImaDesigner This helped! Thanks so much! Love the tutorials!

[@user-kn5py7vg8h]

Is there alsow quality loss if you rotate something 90 deg.?

[@YesImaDesigner]

Migi Kigi very smart question (about Smart Objects 😜) I would think that in case of 90 degrees rotation there won't be any quality loss. Since pixels are square that would make sense.

[@ahivan]

Why does it have to be a mask, and why just not delete the white bg of the vase? Sorry, didn’t understand very well

[@toonwale3183]

i use this for my cartoon channel logo

[@user-kn5py7vg8h]

The bottle's background was white... The white background seems quite useless. If you make a good selection you could alsow delete the background

[@AmanYadav-fe1tk]

Sir

[@mr.k905]

Where are smart objets being saved??

[@larrydzemorsky1777]

I remember my first day in job in small company years ago. They got Photoshop CS, I started doing some simply things, but everything looked so ugly, cause i cannot find smart objects. I spent one day for reading manual, then i discovered smart objects invented in Cs3 version XDDD
