Cloning layer on top of smart object

I've recently started opening my RAW files from Lightroom as a smart object in Photoshop.
For cloning, I add a new layer and set Sample to 'Current and below'. However, when I use the healing brush, it behaves differently than what I'm used to: after using the healing brush to remove an object, I can still see that object that I tried to remove. It's faint, but it's there. Even if I switch to All Layers, this happens.
What causes this?

Thanks Mark, but unfortunately this is not the case.
If I add a cloning layer to a non smart object layer, everyting works just fine. Opacity is set to 100%, no active selections. Also, the problem only occurs when I use the healing brush, not the cloning stamp. Opacity should affect both, not just one.
Any other ideas?

Smart object layer from PS to AI. how to use??

I successfully work AI vector objects as placed objects into PS by copy pasting or file/place into a smart object layer in PS, I find value in making changes to my vector object dimensions in AI and seeing them updated in PS,
but I don`t know how to do it the other way, meaning a PS jpeg on a layer to AI as smart object, I choose an image on its own layer in PSCS4 and convert to smart object, I (right click) export the contents as jpeg smart object, and then back in AI go file/place the smartobject jpeg, when I make changes to the PSsmartobject in PS like colour shift or dimensions change nothing happens in AI,
I would like to have an image pasted from PS into AI whereby I can change colours and dimensions or add pixels like paint on that smartobject layer in PS and then have it update in AI...

To my knowledge Illustrator does not support smart objects. However it does support image linking. Which means if you update a image in photoshop, Illustrator will know the file has changed.
When placing the file, you will see a checkbox at the bottom of the open dialog box for link, make sure it is checked. When you update the file when Illustrator is running with that file opened, you will get a promt telling you the file has changed and asked you if you want to update the image.
If you choose not to update the image at that time, you can click on the linked file text in the top tool bar and update the image from there.
If the file is not open or Illustrator is not running then the file will update the next time you open the file.
Also you will find a edit original button in the top tool bar to take you back to what ever image editor is assigned to that file format.
To assign a file format to photoshop:
For this example we will use jpeg extention
1) Open windows explorer
2) Menu options tools>folder options>File types tab>scroll to jpeg and click on it
3) Click the advanced tab
4) see what actions are listed odds are only open and printo are listed
5) If Edit is not listed, click on the new button
6) For the action type EDIT
7) For the application used to perform action click the browse button
8) Browse for photoshop.exe
9) The following should now be in the application used to perform action box:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Photoshop.exe" %1
The above file location is assuming you have CS3 and you used the default installation edit original button in Illustrator and the right mouse button menu in windows explorer will take you to photoshop to edit the file.
10) After you click OK you will see the new EDIT action in the list
11) Click OK and then click close to get out of all the dialog boxes
The action can be removed at any time or edited to use another application.

Bug or feature: opacity and blend-if values wiped out when convert layer to smart object

I had some unexpected results in an action I put together. As I was stepping through it, I found that conversion of a layer to a smart object reset the opacity to 100% and removed any blend-if adjustments, though the blending mode was retained. This is certainly an unexpected effect--is it a bug?

Smart objects are always created at 100% and will wipe any other blending, the blending still exists WITHIN the Object, itself. This is the most logical and sensible way for it to work - you will realise this if you think it through. Blend modes on the other hand are sometimes copied from the source layer or Group, this is possible and its a kind of shortcut.
To get the original blending into the Smart Object layer - Open the Smart Object, right click on the layer with the correct bending Choose "copy layer style". Now Back in your master document you can "paste layer style" into the Smart Object layer.

Linked - Smart objects Layer comp

I have one smart object with many layer comps. This smart object is linked inside my master file which in turn has many layer comps.
Is there a way to in the layer comps of the master file affect the layers comps inside the smart object?

Trying to crop layer, getting "Can't complete because smart object not editable" message

Using PSE v9 on a Mac
I have a layer with an image that I want to crop around an element on the image. I've selected the area and inversed, then hit delete (why isn't there just a 'Crop' command?) and am getting a message that says:
"Could not complete your request because the smart object is not directly editable."
I'm not clear what a smart object is and whey they're not editable, and how I can make this editable, and how does that change the image.
Thanks
doug

You don't won't to crop the whole photo, just delete the area from the layer
that you've selected?
Two ways:
1. Go to Layer>Simplify Layer before using delete.
2. If you want to keep the smart object, select the area you want to keep, not
delete, then hit the Add Layer Mask button at the bottom of the layers panel.
A smart object is usefull for resizing an image layer over and over without losing
quality (the image doesn't pixelate like it does on a non smart object)
If your not planning on doing lots of resizing or transforming on the layer, then removing
the smart object by Layer>Simplify Layer won't make much difference.

Convert Smart Object Type layer

Once a type layer has become a Smart Object, is there a way to remove the Smart Object so that the type again becomes a regular type layer?

J Malony,
That apparently is the proper way, because it seems to be the only way -- Thanks!

Smart Objects in CS5 behave differently than in CS4?

I've just upgraded from CS4 to CS5, and I've noticed, what is to me, a BIG change in the way Smart Objects work.
Imagine this simplified hypothetical scenario...
I create a document in Illustrator, with two layers.
On one layer would be a 800x600 solid rectangle. On another layer I'd put a small 50x50 circle.
The import thing here is that the circle would be positioned roughly in the top-left corner in relation to the rectangle.
I'd select both objects, go over to Photoshop, create a new 800x600 document, and paste what I've just copied into the document as a Smart Object.
Photoshop would treat both Illustrator layers as one Smart Object of course, and they would get pasted together, and they would look exactly how they did in Illustrator - that being the circle positioned in the top left corner of the rectangle.
Now I decide I want to hide the solid rectangle in my Smart Object, but I want to keep the circle exactly as it is now in the Photoshop document.
So I simply double-click to edit the original Illustrator file, and then I hide the layer with the rectangle on it, save the file, close it, and go back to Photoshop.
In CS4, the file would update to show the changes I had made, so the rectangle would disappear and only the circle would remain - and importantly, the circle would maintain its position. It would stay in the top-left corner of my Photoshop document (the rectangle still exists in the original Illustrator file, but the layer it's on is simply hidden).
However, when I do this exact same process in CS5, when I update the Smart Object after hiding the rectangle layer in Illustrator, the Smart Object seems to ignore the rectangle that is hidden in the file, and the solitary circle that remains gets totally shifted into the centre of the 800x600 Photoshop file. So it is now no longer in the top-left corner where it was before.
This is causing me HUGE problems, because I have painstakingly positioned many many various objects in my Illustrator files which then get shifted out of place whenever I make an adjustment!
Is there any way to get CS5 to treat Smart Objects in the same way that CS4 did before it?

Regards your comments above, yes I am aware of that discrepancy, but I very carefully make sure not to change the size or position of the largest object. In other words, when ALL objects on ALL layers are selected, I make sure that the OVERALL X/Y co-ordinates AND X/Y dimensions do not change between adjustments of various isolated objects.
(I actually deliberately keep a "spare" oversized rectangle on a bottom layer to maintain overall size, and it's this layer that I normally switch off in my final Smart Object.)

Basic Smart Objects

1. In CS5, If I drag a layer from one file to another, does PS always place the image as a smart object into the new file?
2. I understand that the idea behind smart objects is that I can edit the smart object without making permanent changes, though what does that really mean? I could always go back to the new layer and revert it to the way it was when I first dragged it in?
Thanks.

1) No. Use File > Place to place a doc as a smart object, or convert the dragged layer to a smart object using Layer . Smart Object > Convert to smart object.
2) For resizing the smart object layer, that would be a way of thinking of them. Another thought would be filters applied to smart objects are editable, so you can change their settings if, and when, you need. You can also stack smart filters on top of each other, which can be quite useful. Yes, you can revert the new layer, just open the smart object (SO) and copy/paste out the original layer.
An example would be a square sheet of paper with type on it that you've made into an SO and then warped to make it look like it's fluttering in the wind. You can open the SO and add more type to the piece of paper -- the type you add is typeset with straight baselines, but the final object has those curves you desired (and got just right) -- maybe some rotation or even a blur to simulate depth-of-field. Decide you'd like to make that paper the constitution? Just copy and paste a pic of the constitution into the SO and presto! It's a-fluttering.

Photoshop CS4 smart object template just overwrote a raw file - HELP

So. I've been working in Photoshop extensively for about 6 years now and I am well aware that nothing we do in Photoshop or Lightroom is supposed to overwrite a raw file. I'm not talking about changing it to something a little lighter or darker, I'm talking about replacing a picture of one baseball player with another one - and the original? Gone.
Here's what happened: I have a poster template that contains several layers, 7 of which are smart objects. I change the pictures in the template by right-clicking the smart object layer and selecting "replace smart object," browsing to the new image, selecting, and here is what SHOULD happen: the target picture opens in Adobe camera raw, I make some small edits, click done or okay or something similar, and that new image has replaced the old one in the template. What DID happen was this: I followed the procedure above and selected my target raw file, the picture that was already in the template (the one I was trying to replace with my target file) opened in Adobe camera raw. I thought - Hey, that's wierd! Closed the ACR dialog and tried again. Same thing happened. I opened lightroom and saw - to my HORROR - that the target file had been changed to the same image that was in the template.
If it clarifies: pictures of player A (who played in 2009) is in all of the smart object layers in my template. I want to make that poster be of player B (who played in 2012) so I begin replacing all the smart objects. When I get to the 3rd image in the poster template, Photoshop overwrites my raw file of player B with the smart object photo of Player A. There were no photos of player A on the network drive that the picture of Player B was on. But there's one now. My raw file shows that it was modified about 10 minutes ago.
We tried undoing in Photoshop. That did nothing. We tried deleting the xmp file. That did nothing. We removed it from the lightroom catalog and reimported it. It is now a picture of Player A from 2009 and my picture of Player B from 2012 is just gone.
Anybody have any idea what this could be and how we could avoid it in the future?
Best,
Jamey

Now - JJ - when you say "overlay files" - what do you mean? Because that feels like a good description for what happened.
We performed no save operation at any point during the sequence of events that ended with the image in one raw file being replaced by the image in the smart object.
As I wrote Smart Object layers embedded object is a copy of the original and if you replace it you replace it with a copy of some other object. Embedded object are copies and independent from the original. If after creating a smart Object layer who's embedded object is a copy of a raw file and its conversion settings. You change the original RAW files RAW conversion settings the smart object layer raw conversion setting are not changes for its a copy with independent raw conversion settings. When you replace a smart object layers contents you will replace the embedded object and you should replace it with an object the has the same pixel size and orientation. Because there is an associated transform for the object in the layer that is not replaced. The replacement is also a copy. If the original smart object was created using File Open where you choose a RAW file ACR would open with the RAW files current conversion settings. In ACR you can changes the setting then hold down the shift key to change the open image button to an Open Object button. Using that button ACR will open a smart object layer in Photoshop the contents of the embedded object is a copy of the RAW file and the current ACR settings. No File is written Photoshop is not a File Editor its a Document editor that has many data structures for different layer types. When you replace the contents of a smart object you will be put into a "Place" file selection dialog if you choose a raw file it should have the same orientation as the image being replaced because of the associated transform. When you choose a RAW file ACR will open and you can change the conversion settings however there will be no Open Image button instead there will be an OK button. There is also a save image button and you can save a RAW file that is a DNG file not a CR2 file. Like the DNG converter. If you click the OK button the embedded object in the smart object layer will be replaced with a copy of the selected RAW file and the current ACR settings. Again there is no file written Photoshop is not a File editor just the embedded smart object data is replaced in Photoshop smart object layer's data structure.
I do not think the use of smart objects in you process caused what you are experiencing and because it only happens once an a while I feel its more likely caused by some human error made during the processing in those cases. I would look elsewhere for what causing the overlay. In the place file selection dialog it is possible to rename files perhaps even by accident. Programs like LR and Bridge can rename and copy files perhaps overlay other files.

Batch Replace Smart Object With Different Image Quality and Sizes

Hi there,
I need help. I have this template that is in 1000x1000pixel and 300 dpi. I'm trying to replace the smart object inside with various JPEG that I have. These JPEG comes in large image sizes but lower than 300dpi. The issues is, when I run the script that I have, some of the pictures become really pixelated. Beforehand, I resized them to fit into the empty place in sizes that I find fit the best (8 cm x 6 cm). Some of them work okey, but then some of them just pretty bad. I'm wondering if you can help me fix the script that I have so I didn't have to resized the images before running the script, and for all of them to automatically fit into my template without altering the quality of the image that I put in.
below is the script that I am using and the screenshot of my template:

theLayer = replaceContents (theFiles[m], theLayer);
var theNewName = theFiles[m].name.match(/(.*)\.[^\.]+$/)[1];

Thank you for your answer.
I was resizing it before from bigger image size to a smaller one (121 cm to 8 cm) which fit my template size. But the dpi remains in 72 which makes the picture pixelized.
I am wondering if I can find a script that will keep the size of the first image that I put on the template for other images that I place, regardless the size they are imported to. Basically, how to make them all fit into the template regardless the size.
Thank you for the info about the scripting forum. I will write there too.
Sorry, I'm so new to this

Liquify as a smart object filter CS6

I understand that I should be able to use Liquify as a smart object filter in CS6 however when I get a layer rendered as a smart object and attempt to use the smart filter Liquify is greyed out.
my only opiton thus far has been to stamp it down and work on the stamped down layer. Am I missing something . I'm using Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0.6 (13.0.6 20131025.r.54 2013/10/25:21:00:00) x64

I think that is in the photoshop cs6 creative cloud verion 13.1 that the Smart object liquify was added.
(not in the perpetual license versions of photoshop cs6)
Also, it's in photoshop cc (photoshop version 14) as well

How do I disable linked smart-object auto-update/refresh?

Working in the CC3D features, I am constantly making changes to my bump map. Every time I step-backwards, or make a significant change to the bump texture (smart object?), CC auto-saves the layer. This specific file is a very very large document (3 gigs in the bump texture layer alone), and the 3D layer has lots of lights and is very complex. This auto-refresh/update really bogs down the time that it would take me to make my changes. I have a very fast machine (I know it's fast, I dont need to list my specs), and I have all shadows disabled.
How do I disable linked smart-object auto-update/refresh?

If you do not like a feature like smart objects there is nothing forcing you to use it. Use some other features to do what you want. Please don't ask Adobe to introduce bug into smart object support.
You could work on your bump maps textures in external files. When your done some time in the future you could edit your project with the smart object layer and use replace smart object. Only then will all smart filters be applied to the smart layer with the replaced smart object.
Or if by CC Auto save Layer you referring to CC Generate feature you can disable that feature.
I have no idea what your referring to when you write "CC auto-saves the layer" being a feature. I know CC Generate will write layers out as web files but that more a Web feature then a 3d feature. Where do you see your layer being saved?

Linked Smart Object breaks a PSD after sync with Creative Cloud

After using a linked Smart Object inside a PSD and sync with Creative Cloud, the online version of file does not preview and does not work with any online feature, like Extract, Layers, or Anything else.
Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the example Deryck,
The preview seemed broken on the comments tab but the image was appearing for me under the Extract one. When I downloaded the original it looked like the linking was preserved. The online version didn't seem to denote in any way that the Cecinas layer contained a Linked Smart Object, which might be helpful, but it did have the preview. Here are some screenshots of what I was seeing. Thanks for posting about it. I'll pass it on to our engineering department.

Original filename for Smart Objects in CS6

After processing a camera raw image in ACR, I want to open the image in CS6 as a Smart Object.
Then I want to run a java script that depends on the original filename. Where in the metadata can I find the original filename?
Background: I have a script that executes very well if the file is opened in CS6 as a regular layer. However, when I open a file as a Smart Object, the script fails, complaining about an invalid filename.
The problem is associated with my favorite time-saving script and I am very keen to resolve the problem.   :-(
Thank you for your assistance.

I think the the only reason it works when you open them as a regular layer is because of your work-flow and habits. Try opening it twice as a normal layer an see if it works.
When you open a RAW file through ACR as a normal layer and as a smart object layer there is no backing file associated with the open document yet.   I feel you problem is you script is using something like the document name.   If you look at the title in the image floating window or tab you will see that Photoshop has assigned a name the first time you open it as a normal layer you will see something like filename.cr2 @ 25% (RGB16) the second time you will see filename-2 @ 25% (RGB16) when you open as Object you will see filename as smart object-1 (filename, RGB16). These title will change when you save the document to a image file type the title will change to the associated backing file you just saved.
I you look at Photoshop File info you can see all the image metadata and you can find the RAWFileName you want here a text file I wrote using a Photoshop script
It is enev in small jpef file saved from raw conversions if you don't strip mete data

Resizing a RAW Smart Object in a PSD

So I Have a PSD file with one pixel bearing layer that is a Smart Object of a Canon 5D2 RAW file. the rest of the PSD consists of adjustment layers with masks.
I ended up resizing the image to about 2000px wide and accidently clicked the "save" button when i was exiting Photoshop CC without undoing the resize. Thus i now have a PSD file that is of lesser pixel quality than i want.
But... the RAW file in the Smart Object is still the same full size RAW file. If i where to resize the PSD back to the size of the RAW file would it resample that layer or would it just resample the Masks on the Adjustment Layers?
Id like to find a way back to before the untimely save on exit.
thanks!
-Tyler

It would just resample the masks in the adjustment layers. Your Smart Object will have no problem being sized back up.
