Export PSD with Smart Object??

In Lightroom, when exporting files in the PSD format, is there a way to keep the background layer as a Smart Object connected to the original RAW file? When I edit photos in Camera Raw 4.3.1, I always check "Open in Photoshop as Smart Object", but I can't seem to find a way to do this when exporting in Lightroom.

Can't yet.

  • Is possible to save a vector.pdf with smart object?

    Hi PS masters
    I am finishing a poster, fully created in shapes in illustrator. Due to customers request I was forced to do some color corrections so I decided to use my PhotoShop CS6.
    I imported vector files into my photoshop as smart objects, added some adjustments layer, few vector masks and I changed their layer style to get the finest result.
    When I finished my work in PS I tryed to save this as .pdf
    In my .psd there are shape layers, some groups and some adjustments layers with layer masks and changed Layer style to "color", one text layer and 3 smart objects imported from illustrator.
    I want to keep my image scaleable for bigger resolutions.
    ... So I was trying to save this file as Adobe PDF but I found that whole graphic in exported .pdf was converted to raster, besides the border, cut marks and that one text layer.
    I think that this is becuase of smart objects. (saving as .pdf without them works pretty good)
    Now finaly my question.  Is somehow possible to save this document from photoshop as vector.pdf? or is possible to import group of shapes from illustrator to photoshop as shapes in photoshop? no as smart objects.
    I am running out of time so I saved it as high res .Jpeg, but I want to know if this is somehow possible for future use or If I have to rather avoid that solution.
    Thank you very much for your reactions
    // I just thought if I can use InDesign for that. Will be included .pdf file as raster? or it will stay scaleable even with smart objects in it?

    I am sorry but I don't have vector files right now (I'm on another PC), but I can show you "old" version of a poster, where you can see parts of their structure

  • How to use data sets with smart objects?

    Hi,
    I have a psd of some mock-up boxes, and I want to apply different text to multiple versions. The solution here: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/creating-data-driven-graphics.html is good, but doesn't seem to work with smart objects?
    The file that I have has the box label as a smart object (which opens as a psb). How could I apply a data set to that, and have it pump out multiple jpegs?
    If I apply the data set to the psb layers, then go back to the main image, I cannot export the whole complete picture anymore.
    Thanks!

    What database and connection type are you using? Are you connecting the report directly to the database, or trying to assign the datasource to object data?
    It sounds like you might be trying to use a linked list, collection or other C# construct to pass your data in. This currently isn't supported by the Crystal Reports SDK. You can use a DataSet or a DataTable, and possibly also an IDataReader depending on which version of Crystal Reports you're referencing in your project. Of course you can also connect directly to the database, even if the database isn't on the same machine as the application.
    The way to show master records with detail information is through the use of subreports and linked subreport parameters. Linked subreports take their parameter value from a record in the main report, so that only the data appropriate to that master record is displayed. The guys over in the [report design|SAP Crystal Reports; forum can help you out with this if you have questions on the specifics.

  • Documents with Smart Objects - Very slow to open and Save - CS6 Photoshop

    When opening and saving documents with smart objects photoshop freezes the adobe PS loader (circle dots) is replaced and the system loader (multi colored wheel of death) spins for 30 seconds or more.

    Anyone got any ideas? This is making me go nuts!

    A solution!
    It turns out the problem in my case was in fact Suitcase. Previously, I'd tried turning it off, but that didn't fix the problem, so this time, I uninstalled it completely and the problem disappeared. I then began re-adding it (installed 15.0.1, upgraded it, etc.) and the problem resurfaced with the addition of the Photoshop-specific plugin. Deleting that plugin solved the problem. So it seems that "disabling" Suitcase by stopping the TypeCore doesn't seem to actually disable all of the tentacles it sticks into your system.
    You can find the plugin here: Applications / Adobe Photoshop CS6 / Plug-ins / Automate / ExtensisFontManagementPSCS6.plugin
    (After a restart, I also had to delete the font cache, as described here http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-fonts-photoshop-cs5.html but your mileage may vary.)
    Alternately, if you don't want to delete the plugin, disabling it from within Photoshop seems to work as well. To do that, go to File > Automate > Extensis, click Preferences..., then deselect Enable Suitcase Fusion 4 Auto-Activation.
    Fortunately, the plugin doesn't seem necessary at all to use the the core functionality of Suitcase (enabling and disabling fonts) in Photoshop. I didn't even know what these app-specific plugins did until researching this problem, and I still don't quite understand the point of them. I guess they allow you to let the apps for which they're installed do a little bit more of their own management (enable a font via Suitcase that isn't enabled system-wide), but that seems like more control than I need--if I'm enabling a font, I want all my software to be able to use it.
    Anyway, the problem seems to be completely solved on my system now, though I just did all this, so more testing over the next few days is required. I'll post here if any issues crop up. I'm interested in hearing if this solves it for anyone else as well.

  • How to save a file with smart object?

    I have just created a file from LR2, by choosing 'open as smart object' in PS.
    I then added a cloning layer and did my cloning.
    When I wanted to save the file, instead of PS turning it in into a PSD with the same name, I now suddenly got the 'save as' pop up screen and '-2' as the recommended name. The original folder where the file came from was not shown.
    I don't know what that's all about, but I'd prefer it would just save the file as a PSD and automatically show the file alongside the NEF in LR2, like it does when I don't use the 'open as smart object' feature. Is this typical for working with smart objects opened straight from LR2?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Marsel

    Well, like this you open the file s a smart object, so if you want to now clone on a layer but want it to be a part of the smart object then you go to the layer panel and click on the smart object's icon there to edit the smart object and you hit save (command S) and it will save with that layer to your original.
    then when you click the tab or the window that has the original opened as smart object those changes will be reflected, but you will not see your cloned layer active as that is a part of the smart object and you have to open the smart object to get to it.
    What you say! Yes that is what I say that is what a smart object is, you are using the smart object as a part of another document( that is why you are being asked to save as, as this new documents you can now make changes which will not effect the original which is the smart object unless you rasterize it which will make it no longer a smart object.
    What good is a smart object, well there are many say you are using this document or image if you wish in say five projects and the image has been retouched and it is determined it should have some more work done to it all you have to do is retouch the smart object and all five projects are updated.
    You see smart.
    And of course you can d things to all five projects that can be different from one another on other layers without ever destroying the work you have done to the smart object.

  • How can I export schema with all objects and few tables without data

    Hi all
    Verion 10g EE.
    I have to export schema with all objects but i need to ingnore some of the table data.
    There are 4 table those have huge data, we need not to export those tables data but structure should export.
    Thanks,
    Nr

    You can do this with a single command.  Run your export as normal and add query parameters for the 4 tables that you don't want any rows:
    expdp ...  query=schema1.table1:"where rownum = 0" query=schema2.table2:"where rownum = 0" ...
    It is best to put the query parameters in a parameter file so you don't have to worry about escaping any OS special characters.

  • Photoshop document with smart objects changed when I apply color profile. Why?

    I work in Photoshop with smart objects. When I apply color profile smart object are changed. For example change filter or change size. I dont now why?
    See image

    Yes, fortunately, I am a Windows user, but I don't want to start a religious war here And it is also possible to run multiple versions of Adobe products simultaneously under Windows - why shouldn't that be possible? Currently I have CS3 and CS4 and somtimes use CS3 when CS4 is just too buggy to get the job done. Before that I had CS and CS2 on the same machine.
    But I wouldn't keep all versions back to PS 6.0 or CS, that would be a bit too chaotic and I'd had to spend days of installing if I get a new computer. I expect those programs to be a little bit backwards-compatible, so I don't have to use many different versions. And for Photoshop, this is mostly the case. It's just very tiny details like Smart Object resizing that seems to work differently.
    Otherwise I'm really happy that in CS4 I can finally link Masks to smart objects and apply warp and perspective on them, that's a big plus!

  • Does Extract for PSD support smart objects?

    I have spent some time exploring Extract for PSD and so far it it fantastic. I can really see this being useful when passing on my PSDs to my developers.
    One feature that I would love to see would be support for smart objects. I use smart objects a ton in my web designs. For example when I create the footer I will make it a smart object so that it stays consistent throughout all my layer comps. currently in Extract for PSD all smart objects seem to be flattened.  It would be great if my devs could click into the smart objects and access the content within.

    You are right that we don't expose this right now. We do have plans to do this in the future soon!

  • Lightroom 2.7 or 3 unable to export as a smart object to CS3

    Hi All,
    I am having some strange problems. I am running a windows Vista 64-bit machine with the most current versions of lightroom (both 2.7 and 3beta2) with CS3. I just installed an update to adobe flash 10, which is where all my problems started. After the install I was unable use lightroom (both versions) to edit in photoshop CS3. I uninstalled Adobe Flash 10, and the regular edit in photoshop works, but edit as a smart object in CS3 no longer works. CS3 will open, but after that nothing happens. I have tried installing and uninstalling multiple times. The wierd thing is that opening as a smart object usually works for the first image, then when I try to open a second image nothing is transfered to CS3 to edit. It will also work to just transfer to photoshop (not as a smart object). I shut down both CS3 and lightroom, reboot and try to export to photoshop again. Photoshop will open, but no image is transfered. I would rather be able to transfer as a smart object. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Working with smart objects

    I've got a menu I built in Photoshop that uses smart objects to warp and give perspective to both button text as well as pictures in the menu. I built the menu at 300dpi, then resized it to 72 for working in Encore.
    That 72dpi menu then became a template for other menus in the project.
    Encore does not support smart objects, it converts them to shape layers. Since I had done additional design work on the menu in Encore/Photoshop, I saved a copy of it to be a template. I then opened my original of this file and dragged the smart objects back into it for my template, so that I could create new buttons, etc. for other menus.
    I've since discovered that if I create a NEW smart object in that template, the smart object is at 72 dpi. However, if I modify an existing smart object, it's still at 300 dpi, even though the file is 72 dpi. Am I making any sense? So when I double click one of the original smart objects to, for example, change the text to create a new button, I get a large, 300dpi file to work with. The result is that the original smart objects are creating much sharper, cleaner text, and all my new smart objects are creating soft text. I've also discovered if I open one of the new smart objects and change it's size to 300dpi before creating the text layer, I can save it that way and the text is sharper and cleaner.
    I'm not sure what my question is... I guess I'm just sharing :-), but also wondering if my workaround has a downside that I don't see.
    The logical question you might be thinking is why don't I just build all the menus in 300 and then resize, and the answer is that I did a lot more work on the template after I had resized it for Encore and don't want to go back and redo all of that on the original file.
    Julie

    I'll test it without the warping and see what I learn and let you know, but I suspect I won't see a difference and you're right that warping the text may be more dependent on resolution.
    I just created a 72 dpi file with 2 identical smart objects, except one is 72dpi and the other is 300dpi. I then put the same text with the same layer style on each. There is a difference in the appearance, with the 300dpi smart object yielding cleaner, sharper looking text. When I remove the layer style on both so they're flat, no drop shadow or bevel, there is still a very discernible difference in sharpness. Also, when I export the images to a NTSC monitor, the difference is apparent.
    So it appears if you plan to warp text in a 72dpi graphic, you'll get better results if you increase the dpi of the smart object.

  • Layering with smart objects for architectural interior photos in PS

    Help…
    I was wondering if anyone has had experience of working on professional architectural photographs in PS?
    I am interested in using and learning how to use the layering technique many architectural photographers use to produce different exposures of an interior in one image.
    Many pros prefer this method I’m told, as it offers more control and flexibility than using HDR.
    One photographer I spoke to said:
    “I also bracket different exposures and use under and/or over exposures for extreme areas that need adjustment. Smart objects simplify things by using just one RAW file whenever in range”.
    I don’t fully understand this; anyone got any links to websites etc I can learn more about this method?
    Thanks..

    Thanks Donald and Silkrooster,
    Yes I am using multi exposures (RAW) with a tripod around 6-8 of them (stop apart, from highlights to shadows), as I was just going to use a HDR processor like Photomatrix or PS, however I using PS CS5 the other day the images look too fake, even when I bring the values down.
    I need high reality & definition.
    What I'm looking for is a great exposure range in my images, which I know cannot be achieved using just one RAW file.
    The photographer I quoted at the start is a successful architectural photographer who uses multi RAW images in layers as smart objects (I guess so he can make adjustments back & forth without damaging the image quality?) and that he too found HDR too fake for his high end customers. He said it takes him a long time, I suppose he is creating layer masks it high detail of the section he wants the exposure to be different. This was all I could get out of him on his blog!
    I’m familiar with this old method of laying as I used to do this many years ago using scanned slide film of different exposures in PS2, however it took a really long time (due to big files and slow computers) and I used to literately erase the layer above in parts I wanted the other exposure to come through. These offend used to go wrong and also crash the computer.
    However now I understand people are using layer masks and RAW images (different exposures) as layers to have more control over the different exposures than if the different PSD files were imported.
    I don’t know how you would use a RAW layer to adjust and process, colour balance etc?
    My workflow at the moment is to produce the best image I can from a RAW image using Lightroom or Aperture 3, and import the different images as different PSD layers.
    I cannot believe no one has come out with layering software or a plug-in to help this process with masks, exposure, aligning images etc?
    Or have they but I don’t know about it yet??

  • Automating RAW file conversion to Photoshop with Smart Object Layer

    Hi
    Can anyone tell me if it is possible to automate an action (and the steps) to open a series of photos from their raw file state to a Photoshop file with a smart object layer. I have tried **** this... recording an action without success... it ends up creating a photoshop file with a background layer, no smart object layer.
    Am i missing something obvious? Thanks for your help!

  • Perspective effect with Smart Objects (SO)

    Hi,
    i would like to create a perspective efect on smart objects.everything i read so far was that perspective effect doesn't work (distort) on SO.
    everybody place the SO almost as they want but to create the perspective effect, they rasterize layer and finish perspective effect using the Free Transform tool.
    1. so is it really the only one way to do it ?
    I mean i have a lot of business cards design and i have a master design for their presentation... in this presentation i can change just 1 SO (the master one) and all other SO (representing business cards) are automatically updated...
    so it is really great for creating a new presentation of product. owever, if i must rasterize SO i loose this feature/possibility.
    2. So what is the best solution ?
    thx.

    Hi Conroy,
    at work we have CS6. I tried all kind of File > Preferences > General > Image interpolation, but nevetherless still the same issue. The bicubic is the best one for card border/edge but they are still to "stairs steps" and not clean line for borders.
    Here is my work.
    A) The top card is former verctor SO, rasterized and once again convert to SO (for later applying effects/filters)
    B) The bottom card is a standard Vector SO with content from a vector tool.
    there are 2 main issues.
    1. the perspective for the card B (vector) is not as perfect as for card A, as if you move individually a corner, other corners move also
    how to solve it in order to not have a destructive one ? i mean if i have on 1 artwork 3 visible business cards, i don't want to replace content 3 times + filters, etc.. i would like to maximum replace 3 contents and that's all... imagine if i have 100 business cards ready for that...i will spend months to recreate each perspective and effects.
    2. the 2nd issue is with card edges/borders...they are not anti-aliased at all..maybe the top one (card A) is more than the vector SO as it has been rasterized...but nevertheless it is far from what i see on internet for same work.
    so what did i miss ? where is my mistake ?
    thx.

  • [CS5][Save for Web][Anti-aliasing] Fine lines in exported PSD with adjustment layers

    Hello,
    You can reproduce the bug this way:
    - link a PSD with a adjustment (Levels, Brightness/Contrast) layer in your AI file
    - Save for Web, with AA for Art (not text) selected
    In the exported image there will be artefacts, white lines usually.
    Flattening the PSD or deleting the adjustment layers will solve the problem and anti-aliasing will be applied correctly.
    I used CMYK/RGB settings, FOGRA39/Adobe RGB 1998 for all the files involved.

    Hi,
    I am experiencing this same problem of pixelated gifs when I use the "save for web" dialog from Illustrator, but this solution has not worked for me. I have tried the trick of using type-optimized anti-aliasing, but it doesn't change the output at all. I've done this from within the "Image size" tab as well as through Effect>Rasterize>Options)Anti-aliasing: Type Optimized. My image is a logo made entirely from text, although for some of it I used "outline path", so I'm not sure if it still qualifies as text...I'm a newbie at this stuff, so the technical details are still quite opaque to me.
    Does anyone know of a solution to this that does not require me to add Photoshop to my workflow?
    I'm using Illustrator in CS5, version 15.0.2.
    Thanks in advance
