Can I place a smart object and specify a layer comp?

I have many buttons, each as a layer comp, in a single file.
I do this because there are many common elements: layers for the button base, shared features, button gloss, etc.
What changes is the icon on the button, and possibly a supporting label.
I want to place these buttons on objects in other files.
So, I'd like to Place the file as a smart object AND SPECIFY THE LAYER COMP for the proper button.
Anybody?
Or maybe there is another approach?
Much obliged!
Dave

I'm on CC on a Mac.
What 21 is talking about is making some sense.
I am able to create new smart object via copy, then create a variation on the original file linked in the parent smart object. Then I save that from illustrator with a different file name. Then I go back to photoshop and replace contents of the new smart object, linking it to the newer illustrator file.
This gets around the problem, but it takes a few more steps than the same thing did it in earlier versions of photoshop.

How can I duplicate a smart object and then edit it, without affecting the original?

I have a vector element from illustrator that I am placing in a tshirt mockup in photoshop. I have the layout essentially how I would like, but I am trying different color variations. I would think to just duplicate the first placement and then edit the color of the resulting copy, but this affects both the copy and the original. I looked into it a bit further, and found that I should try the "replace contents" option under smart objects, and that this would change the copy. So I go back to illustrator, made a copy of the original vector, and then made the color change I had in mind, and then saved it as a separate document that I could then use in replacing the contents of the copied. This however, is still affecting both smart objects!
I have tried this as both linked smart objects and embedded smart objects without success.
Ultimately, I simply want to maintain the position of the original layer with the duplicated and edited layers. If you know of a better way, please share!

MapBuilder Error:Can not find a GeoRaster object with specified rdt and rid

Hello,
I can't GeoRaster data in the preview of the MapBuilder and MapViewer. The GeoRasterViewer shows the Raster images without problems.

The errror message of MapViewer is nearly the same with some more informations about the spatial query and the coordintes of the query window. If I run that spatial query in the sqldeveloper it returns a result!
I did following stebs:
- saved a tiff-Image in a GeoRaster table with pyramid an tiled images.
- checked the sdo_geom_metadata --> they are correct
- checked the sdo_georaster object for the rdt table name and rasterid --> they are correct
- checked the rdt table --> objects with that rid are saved
- checked the mdsys.sdo_geor_sysdata table --> entry is correct
- validate the geraster with the sdo_geor.validategeoraster function --> object is valid
- updated the spatial extend of the image and try again the preview functio--> the same error
The databse server is a virtual Linux server with Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - 64bit.
The web server is a Window 2003 R2 Server with a weblogic server and mapviewer patch 5 (Ver1033p5_B081010).
For a test I did the same (the same table script, the same raster data, the same import method) on a developer pc (WinXP Pro SP2) with Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 (32bit) the same mapbuilder version but with the MapViewer QuickStartKid and it works fine!!!
Has anyone an idea?

Hi Joao,
Thanks so far.
I'm previewing a GeoRaster theme. I created it with the MapBuilder GeoRaster wizard. The theme difinition is (out of the export file):

Smart Object and blend mode issue

I have an object that I moved from another image and needed to resize. The object is an image of a bottle and glass, with both the bottle and glass having reflections from their base. They both also have some layer masks with the reflections. I grouped the glass and bottle and created a smat object before the move to the new file). Anyway everything worked fine, except the reflections are much stonger in the new file (they are sitting over the same colored backgrond as in the original. If I open up the smart object and put a background behind the images and the reflections (background is transparent)everthing looks as they should. The reflections have a blend mode of multiply).
So why does the smart object not render the reflections properly (without lowering the opacity more within the smart object group) they appear almost at 100% in the new file. Any suggestions?
Can't post the files as this happened at work.
Thanks
Jeff

Anything to do with soft proofing? Does the new document have the same colour space as the original?

Can you replace embedded smart object with linked smart object?

Hi,
I'd like to update some document to reflet the new workflow that linked smart object provide. I have made some transformation on those embedded smart object and would like to not have to redo all those so is there anyway way to replace those SO with the linked version of the same SO?
TIA

Bitmap smart objects and anti aliasing, Photoshop CC

Photoshop CC is doing a poor job of rendering bitmap smart objects, and I saw Chris Cox mention the checkbox to enable anti aliasing for placed smart objects. This works with vector smart objects, but this box is grayed out for bitmaps that I've converted to smart objects. The smart object bitmap renders poorly when manually rasterized too. I don't recall having this problem in previous versions of Photoshop. For now I'm going to avoid converting bitmap elements to smart objects so I get decent transforms.

There are no jagged lines in that example - you're just rasterizing at a REALLY low resolution.

Is there a way to read/write original .xmp settings of a CR2 loaded as smart object onto a .psd layer?

Hello all. This has been asked in varying degrees before, but many of the discussions I found relative to my question are from the period 2010 to 2013. Thought I would throw this out there again medio 2014 to see if anything new has developed that I'm somehow missing.
Here's the situation:
1. In the filesystem, a CR2 file and a sidecar .xmp file with ACR settings applied via Bridge (CS6).
2. CR2 file is opened in Photoshop (CS6) as a smart object (.xmp sidecar settings are applied in the process).
3. CR2 file and .xmp now exist on a .psd layer as a smart object...in some unknown form.
4. File is saved as .psd
My question is this:
Is there ANY way at all via Bridge and/or Photoshop scripting to read/write/access/touch/poke/prod the original ACR "development" settings, originally stored in the .xmp sidecar file, that apparently now exist in some form on the smart object layer in the .psd? Via scripting in Bridge, one can alter the metadata on this saved .psd file, no problem, but this is not the same .xmp data that is being referenced by the image loaded as a smart object onto the .psd layer in that file. Where is this second set of data? Can it be accessed?
Any info, enlightenment would be much appreciated. Thanks.

No, not too late.
InDesign is for layout for press in this case.
Photoshop is for design, which is using the .jpg's.
I'm half way there, but stuck at:
Getting a file location reference when the .jpg is first brought into PS as a layer.
Getting a script to write the location of the file into the medata for the PSD in some field
Reading back the metadata file location for the .jpg and bringing it back into the PSD again.
Any help would really be appreciated.
I can make the completed script(s) available when its complete, as this has possibilities for other uses, batch process, and more.

Linking smart objects with it's layer mask

ther must be a way to link smart objects with it's layer mask without having to rasterize....isn't there?

You're pre-CS4 right?
1) Upgrade to CS4
2) Put SO in a group, link mask to group
3) ...
4) Profit!

How can I add a Smart object (button) to a quiz background and have it work?

Good day,
I have the need to add button to a quiz (in Captivate 6) to allow people to leave the quiz and go back to the start page.
I realize you cant add a normal button to quiz, so I added a smart object converted to a button on the master page. I have it all set up to go to the page, mouse over shows hand and all of that.
the Captivate runs, I get to the quiz, mouse over it changes to a hand. I click and it does nothing. Any ideas why?? Any suggestions on how to do what I want?
Thank you
Dave Stabley

Hi Lilybiri,
I always look to your blog for help.   This time unfortunately it didnt help me.
as I expressed above all I am trying to do is create a button that will do a jump to page with in a quiz.
I have some long quizes in the captivate projects that I create.   Once a person starts a quiz they might realize it is a bit more than they are ready for. I am just trying to give them a way to click a buttong to get out of the quiz and back to a certain page.
On the master page for the quiz, I created a smart object (rectangle) that is converted to a button it is also transparent and goes over top of a graphic for the button.
I tell it to go to the correct page, and I set it up so that when you mouse over the smart object it shows a hand
When I go to preview this, I mouse over the graphic and get the hand icon, but when I click it goes no where. It seems to me that the quiz is waitting for an answer before it will accept the click.   The catch is when I give the answer it forgets click and moves on the the next question.
Any thoughts?
Thank you

Can We Paste Photoshop Smart Objects Into Illustrator (as Linked/Embedded)?

Since raster editing is much more limited in Illustrator, is there a way to link or embed an individual Smart Object from Photoshop into Illustrator? I know there is an option to Place a file into Illustrator. But what if I have a larger Photoshop document with many Smart Objects in it, and just want to copy and paste one of those into Illustrator, but also have it update when I update it in Photoshop. Is this possible?

Copy and Paste won't have a link to the original file. Only Place can have that.

Smart objects and rasterizing

I open most of my photos as smart objects, but over the last little while I have started using tools that require me to rasterize the photo. Will I lose significant quality in the photo itself by doing this? Or should I look at a different way of opening the pictures?

Where there was nothing, there will be nothing. You can't possibly destroy info that the source pictures didn't have in teh first place and a pixel remains a pixel, smart or rasterized. I mean, once you save the final result to another format, any SO will be rasterized and its result "baked" into the pixels of the file, anyway, so what do you even hope to achieve by opening them as SOs instead of inserting them as normal layers? SOs make sense, yes, but only if you do quite a bit of warping and transforming and one may need to replace layer content, but otehrwise that sounds like you are only complicating your workflow and misunderstanding something that would only apply to vector artwork as being relevant for pixel data....

After loading a JPEG file into adobe CC as a smart object and trying to resize image I get big jagged edges around the picture.

Also, the anti-aliasing box isn't checked but is greyed out so I can't check it. How can I fix this issue? Thanks for any help!

Smart object layers transform like pixel layers. The resize may be using your default interpolation method. If you left it at Adobe default setting Bicubic Automativ and you are down sizing a sharpen image it may be using Bicubic Sharper. When Bicubic Sharper is used on sharpened image jagged artifacts may happen. Try changing your Photoshop Interpolation preference to plain bicubic. I'm not a fan of Bicubcr Automatic or Bicubic Sharper. I will use Bicubic Sharper when I re-size my soft unsharpen images for the web.

Smart objects and filters in elements 10-how to?

please help...thanks

The main use of Smart Objects is to embed an image file into a PSD so that it can maintain resolution independence. This means you can non-destructively transform (scale, rotate, skew) the layer without losing the quality of the orignal file. You can still change the opacity or blend mode of a Smart Object layer and apply Layer Styles from the Effects panel as well. So Smart Objects allow for true non-destructive editing in Elements, but not with the sophistication of Photoshop CSx.
Whether or not Viveza works with Photoshop Elements 10 is up to the manufacturer of the plug-in.

Smart objects and auto update

I have a stack of screenshots to maintain, where what changes most often is the release information: so, I've made a separate .psd with the header and used File > Place to add it as a smart object. What I'm not having any luck with, is changing that single .psd file and seeing the update ripple through to all the screenshots. Tell me what I'm missing!

Maybe this is of interest to you.

Anti-Alias, Smart Objects and Photoshop

I'm using photoshop to create a poster for a client of mine. I placed vector graphics from illustrator into my photoshop document, creating smart objects. As you can see, below, it looks like an Anti-Aliasing issue, where jagged lines are EVERYWHERE. However, you can also observe that the text (created in photoshop) also appears to be fuzzy/jagged.
This issue can be seen on the print out, as well, so it doesn't appear to be anything in the preview...
The Anti-Aliasing option in the transform toolbar is greyed out for me. I've gone through all the settings and i can't seem to find anything that may do this to my file (and it only seems to be affecting this one file).
Version is as follows: 14.2.1 x64
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

There are no jagged lines in that example - you're just rasterizing at a REALLY low resolution.
