CS3 New smart object via copy not working

1. I open an image in Photoshop CS3 from camera raw (CR) as a smart object.
2. I right click on the layer and choose "new smart object via copy."
3. I double click on the thumb nail to open the image in CR.
4. I make new edits on the image in CR.
5. I click OK.
6. In CS3 both the new layer and the original layer show the edits done in # 4.
I uninstalled and reinstalled CS# to no avail.
I am running CS3 on a Win Vista 64 bit.
If anyone can make a suggestion, I thank you in advance.
JB

I should say I am trying to learn this software and stumbling through Mr. Kelby's 7 Point System book.
I found my error.  I was highllighting the layers not clicking the eye icons off and on.
Thanks for all who look.

  • "New Smart Object via copy" via JavaScript?

    I'd like to know how to copy a smart object but, so every smart object is independent.
    I know you can copy layers via layer.duplicate() but that function just copies a instance of the object instead of creating a new object. So how would you do it?

    Install Scriptlisener Plugin and do menu layer>Smart Objects>New Smart Object via Copy
    javascript action manager code looks like this
    // =======================================================
    var idplacedLayerMakeCopy = stringIDToTypeID( "placedLayerMakeCopy" );
    executeAction( idplacedLayerMakeCopy, undefined, DialogModes.NO );
    Look quit a bit like Michael's above append one may execute faster the the other.

  • New Smart Object Via Copy

    Hello Everyone.
    I have a smart object, and, If I apply Control "J"    Or Drag It to the New Layer Icon, It will Duplicate the Layer.
    And If I Go to Layer-Smart Objects- New Object Via Copy, It dose the same thing.
    What Is the Different between Control J, or Go to Layer- Smart Objects- New Smart Object Via Copy.
    Thanks

    You can have duplicated smart object layers that share a common embedded object and you can have duplicated smart object layers with independent embedded smart object.  To get independent embedded object you need to use Layers>Smart Objects>New Smart Object via Copy.  There are several way to create duplicate smart object layer with shared embedded object.  Read Photoshop Help on smart Objects

  • New Smart Playlist Keyboard Shortcut Not Working

    Using iTunes 7.5/Leopard 10.5.1
    The shortcut for creating a new smart playlist (optcmdN) is not working. However, I can use the keyboard shortcuts for creating a new folder or a new playlist. Any of you have the same problem?
    Thanks!

    OK...this might be too simple to possibly be the answer...but is the number lock key down on your keyboard?
    EDIT: Well... no, that can't be it...or the new folder and new playlist keys wouldn't work either. Have you downloaded any widgets or third-party apps recently?

  • ACR4.2, Lightroom, CS3 and Smart Objects

    OK - here's something that's really bugging me and I just don't seem to be able to come up with an easy answer or solution although it might be staring me in the face. Hoping someone else can help here.
    Situation 1: I open an image in LR, do a few minor edits to WB etc and then click Ctrl+E (PC of course) to Export the image to CS3. My Export options are set as TIFF/ProPhoto/16 bits/no compression. The image now opens up in CS3 as expected. I then convert this image to a Smart Object which is so indicated in the Layers Panel. I then choose New Smart Object via Copy and now have the original Smart Object and it's copy in the Layers Panel. Here comes the puzzling part - if I now double-click on the Smart Object thumbnail I am presented with a pop-up window that states "after editing the contents, choose File > Save to commit the changes".
    Situation 2: If outside of LR I right-click on a RAW file and choose edit in CS3 it opens up ACR4.2 with the same edit sliders as in Lightroom. I now apply exactly the same minor edits as I did in Lightroom and upon completion I press and hold the shift key which changes the Open Image button to Open Object and sure enough the image now opens up in CS3 as a Smart Object. Up to this point both routes lead me seeing the same window. I now repeat what I did previously i.e. New Smart Object via Copy.
    The big difference now however, is that when I double-click on the Smart Object thumbnail it now opens up in Camera Raw as I want it to. There is no pop-up window as was the case when I followed the LR route into CS3.
    I am at a loss to understand why it should be different. There obviously doesn't appear to be a fault/bug with CS3 because things happen exactly as I expect them to. It's only when first going into CS3 via LR first does this strange pop-up window appear and I am not able to double-click on the Smart Object thumnail so opening it up in Camera Raw. Is it a bug, is it my Export settings or is it just me - frustrated?

    I know it doesn't make sense, but that's the way it is. Here's what I do in the same situation.
    First, I'm converting my raws to DNG files. I chose to do this so I don't have to worry about when to write out the sidecar files.
    I take an image in LR, edit it he way I want.
    I then go to Grid view, select the image, right click and select Show in Finder (or in your case, Explorer).
    I then right click on the file icon in Finder/Explorer and Open in Photoshop. This opens the image in the Camera Raw dialog with all my edits in place. I then open the file as a smart object.
    When I click on the smart object in PS to re-edit it, I go of course to the camera raw dialog. I then edit what I want.
    When I'm done with the file in PS, I save it out as a JPEG/TIFF/PSD, whatever is appropriate for that type of file.
    I close PS
    I then go to LR, in the Grid View, go to the folder holding the new JPEG/TIF/PSD image (in my case, the same folder as the raw file is in.
    I right click on the folder and chose Sync.
    Now I have two filed. My original DNG with the latest changes, no matter if they were done in LR or Camera Raw, and my JPEG/TIFF/PSD file.
    I do it this way because I like to use LR for printing.
    You can do all this without converting to DNG, but you have to remember to write out the metadata to the side car files when you leave LR.
    Hope this helps

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

    I have a raw file opened up in photoshop, duplicated it, made them smart objects, when I click the smart object icon on the file, i get another copy of the file in photoshop, the file doesn't open up in acr, is there a setting i'm missing?
    Message was edited by: Rodwf

    If you dupe that smart object layer you still have one smart object change one the other also changes.  If you want two smart object for the save image so you cab have two versions of raw conversions you need to use menu Layers>smart Object>New smart object via copy..

  • This page contains some SWF objects that may not work properly...

    Hello Guys
    I bought this menu made by f-source into my page:
    http://beta.asphalt-driveway-sealing.com/, it's working fine except I got this message each time I am opening my file with dreamweaver CS4: 'this page contains some SWF objects that may not work properly in the most recent versions of Internet Explorer. Dreamweaver cannot  convert them to the new SWF markups. Please delete each of them and insert again' and what I did but still got this message
    the developer told me that: "I previous versions of Dreamweaver you could disable the Active
    Content Converter http://f-source.com/before_insert/
    In CS4 there is no such option."
    Please let me know what can I do then.
    Many Thanks, T&T

    Hi
    CS4 uses a 'nested' type of object code to insert swf/flv files, which is more compliant than previous code. Obviously the f-source extension is not cs4 compliant if it is changing this, (the message indicates it is doing so) and is something you should pursue via there support department. However even though it is giving you this message it should still work on live pages.

  • I have updated my BRE with new rule but it is not working.

    Hi All,
    I have got a requirement to add one more rule into my existing BRE.
    Below are the points that I followed :
    1).Firstly, I created the new version for my BRE , and added my rule in that.
    2). Then I un-deployed the previous version of BRE and Deployed its new version.
    3). I did restarted host instances and Rule engine service also.
    3). Now, when I am testing the sample consisting of previous rule then it is executing,
    But on the other hand when i am testing the sample based on my new rule then BRE is not working.
    If BRE is Executing with previous rule then i believe it is working,
    Then why it is not working for my new Rule .
    4). When i am testing my policy then it is also working well enough .
    Note : The Schema path is also correct ,
    Any help and suggestion will be appreciated
    Kind Regards
    Rishi Gaur

    Hi Shankycheil,
    1). My policy version 1.0 was having 10 rules.
    2). Then i copied version 1.0  and added it to my new version 1.1 .
    3). Than i added my rule to it only.
    After all this I Undeploy version 1.0 and deployed my new version 1.1.
    In Admin console I am getting error like you mentioned   somewhere about policy not found?

  • HT204053 I have different icloud and iTunes id's and I want to do homesharing for all my devices. I'm trying to set up a new iMac but homesharing is not working. SHould it be the itunes or iCloud id?

    I have different icloud and iTunes id's and I want to do homesharing for all my devices. I'm trying to set up a new iMac but homesharing is not working. Should it be the itunes or iCloud id?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Preferably your iTunes account, but it shouldn't really matter for getting homesharing turned on, as long as it's a valid ID.

  • TS3989 New MacAir but  photostream does not work.  Message though everything is on. "In order to use Photo Stream, you have to be signed into your iCloud account in System Preferences." And,

    New computer but Photostream does not work.  I am signed into my account but get the following message:  In order to use Photo Stream, you have to be signed into your iCloud account in System Preferences.  I go to system preferences and then get a message that says that my account cannot be accessed.  However, I am using my icloud account for email and other items and it works fine.  Any thoughts?

    Are you getting this messages in iPhoto? If so try the following (again?):
    Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.  Then log back in and re-enable, respectively.  That should jump start Photo Stream.

  • TS1702 i am using iphone 2G, i have updated IOS 3.1.3, but i am not able to use whatsapp. the newer version of whatsapp is not working in my phone. please give me the solution.

    i am using iphone 2G, i have updated IOS 3.1.3, but i am not able to use whatsapp. the newer version of whatsapp is not working in my phone. please give me the solution.

    As newer iPhones and iOS versions are made, apps start to drop support for the older versions of the iOS. It looks like you have fallen victim to this. I commend you for sticking with the original iPhone until now, but it looks like it's time for an upgrade if you want to use apps that have dropped support.
    Also the new iPhone provides hundreds of new features and spec upgrades from the original. Check it out! http://www.apple.com/iphone/
