Compile Photoshop documents as smart objects into a document

I have several Photoshop documents that I would like to complie into one Photoshop document as separate Smart Objects.
Can that be done in CC?
I used to use Russel Brown's Place-A-Matic Script, but that is not supported in CC.

It seems the version you download from the scripts page doesn't work in photoshop cc, but the Dr Browns Services 2.31 that you can install from the
Adobe Exchange Panel from within photoshop cc does, so you might try installing that version and see if it works.
(it seems to work okay in photoshop cc on windows 7)

  • 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.
    What I've tried so far based off looking at various posts.
    Photoshop Preferenes

    Observations and workthroughs to date
    The file size and amount of smart objects effects the file expotentially i.e. The more smart objects you have the worse it gets
    These files worked perfectly in PS CS5
    It also happens on files natively created in PS CS6
    The CPU is maxing out at 100% while PS loads

    Suitcase 4
    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.

  • Opening photo from bridge into photoshop converts to smart object

    Instead of opening the psd-file normally from bridge into photoshop the file converts to smart object.
    I used to work with CS3 where double-clicking in Bridge on a psd-file would open it in Photoshop. Now, when I double click in Bridge (CS6) it opens a "quick time pro" file, which I definitely don't want. When I use the right mouse to "place in Photoshop" it does so, but then automatically converts the file into a smart object, which I don't want either. What need I do to open a psd-file in Bridge as normal psd-file in Photoshop?
    Thanks in advance for help.

    Hi C. Pfaffenbichler
    yes, there is a "Photoshop Document" in the list, but it has not
    association. when I click on the little arrow on that line it "searches"
    and shows all the files in the "program X86" on the C-drive. but I don't
    know what to associate it with, or said differently, I don't know what file
    in "programX86" to associate it with.

  • Opening DNG as a Smart Object into Photoshop CS5?

    I am using a Windows 7 64 bit platform and CS5 64 bit.  I have the most recent Camera Raw plug in for my Nikon D3100 camera.  In Bridge you are supposed to be able to open a dng file in Camera Raw, make your corrections and then by holding the Shift key it should change the open file button to open it as a Smart Object.  When I do that nothing opens in in Photoshop.
    Any suggestions?

    Can you tell me how to access the workflow settings?
    Pretty simple (and the settings are sticky), open a raw image and in the center where the processing info is shown (lower center link) which acts both as an info readout AND a button to change the Workflow Options settings, click on this link...it'll give you a dlog to change the Workflow Settings.
    Alter the settings and click Done (cancel doesn't work since it works as a Cancel).
    Thereafter, unless you make changes, the Workflow Options should be sticky.
    Thank you Jeff for the information.
    Please let me know if you think the worflow settings are wrong:  Here is how the workflow is currently set:  Space: Adobe RGB 1998; Depth: 16bits/channel;  Size 34072 x 4608 (14.2 MP); Resolution: 260 p/in.; Sharpen: None;  Amount: none;  The bix is checked to open in Photoshop as a Smart Object.
    Now here is the thing.  If I am in Bridge and double click on a dng file or right click on a selection of files and choose Open in Photoshop, it opens a Camera Raw window for the file/s and then if I click on the open objects button, it does open them in Photoshop as smart objects.  The problem is that if I select, from the Bridge pop=up menu to open the selected file/s in Camera Raw, it is then that they do not get sent to Photoshop as smart objects.  Nothing happens, they just don't open in Photoshop.
    I am also having a very hard time sending dng files from Lightroom into Photoshop.  So clearly there is something not "connected" properly.  Or maybe it is not clearly, but I am supposing that there might be some general issue.  Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

  • Send a raw photo from lightroom to photoshop as a smart "object"

    how to send a raw photo from lightroom to photoshop as a smart "object" not a flat "image" so it does not flatten the image but so I still get all the adjustments i have made in lightroom to show up in photoshop?

    Select the image in Lightroom, choose 'Edit in' from Photo menu then choose 'Open as Smart Object in Photoshop'. The file will transfer to Photohop (Ps) complete with Lr applied edits which can be refined in Camera Raw by double clicking on icon in the Ps Layers panel (see screen shot).

  • 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.

  • Import into photoshop as layered smart objects

    is there a way to import images into mulitiple images into photoshop as smart objects from bridge?
    Thanks

    I tried to using the ACR export setting: 'open as Smart Objects in PS' and
    hit done, revert to Bridge and with Tools - load to layers.
    It seemed the obvious route for me but it did not work sadly enough.
    However using the load to layers tools gives you the option to select the
    layers in the file and then convert to smart objects, only you have to do it
    one by one I'm afraid.

  • Paste a Vector Smart Object into Photoshop

    I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to paste a vector smart object from illustrator into photoshop without the dialog box coming up that has you accept the size/placement of the object.
    I am able to do this using the code the scriptlistener plugin spits out but not without it. Unfortunately I'm running into a few problems with using the code the scriptlistener spits out so I was just wondering if anyone knew of a way to do it without that.
    Thanks!

    This is the best I could come up with...
    pasteSO();
    function pasteSO() {
    var desc3 = new ActionDescriptor();
    desc3.putBoolean( charIDToTypeID('AntA'), true );
    desc3.putClass( charIDToTypeID('As  '), stringIDToTypeID('smartObject') );
    desc3.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('FTcs'), charIDToTypeID('QCSt'), charIDToTypeID('Qcsa') );
    var desc4 = new ActionDescriptor();
    desc4.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID('Hrzn'), charIDToTypeID('#Pxl'), 0.000000 );
    desc4.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID('Vrtc'), charIDToTypeID('#Pxl'), 0.000000 );

  • 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!

  • Photoshop Vectors and Smart Objects Create Blurring

    I have been supplied a Photoshop document that has Illustrator Vector files that have been placed in the PSD as Smart objects.
    When I bring the PSD into InDesign and print it, all the PSD artwork is blurry.
    How can I get the PSD file to print from InDesign at high quality.
    The PSD file is at 300 dpi. I have tried bringing it into InDesign as PSD, TIFF, EPS & PDF, but it's the same issue every time.

  • Photoshop CS6 - Pasting Smart Objects from InDesign CS6 look awful

    Since upgrading from CS5 I'm having a huge problem using Smart Objects.
    What:
    Smart Objects pasted from InDesign into Photoshop are pixelated and corny beyond belief. Originating material placed in InDesign is hi-res (e.g. 600ppi) but when pasted in PS it looks crappy.
    How:
    Selecting an image in InDesign and pasting it in PS in a 72ppi file.
    Typically I need to copy elements from previous art in ID and re-compose and use for web.
    Why:
    Can't seem to fix it. Have tried with Anti-Aliasing both on and off to no avail. None of the Image Interpolation settings affect this either.
    Only solution is to scale the placed Smart Object to something like 400% where it suddenly looks nice again, rasterize and then scale it back down.
    Theory:
    Smart Object scaling is flawed in PS CS6.
    Note: All scaled images in InDesign already look gritty and awful. Even with Display Performance: High Quality set (using default settings). Seems to me like CS6 scaling is b a d.
    Anyone else seeing this?
    Thanks
    Image 1: Smart Object rasterized at same size as placed. (ouch. awful.)
    Image 2: Smart Object Scaled to 400%, rasterized and then scaled back to original size (yum yum, like it used to be without up-rasterize-down-scaling)

    That does not resolve the anti-aliasing issue in CS6 - it still looks rather bad.
    The anti-aliasing sampling method applied to smart vector objects is just extremely bad looking. And it is not merely an issue in Photoshop: exporting artwork from Illustrator at web/screen resolution using the web export is absolutely abysmal looking (not other word applies here, unfortunately).
    I explain more about this issue here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/6002543#6002543
    The best option is to blow up the artwork, rasterize, and then scale down with bicubic or bicubic automatic, depending. But even then you will not achieve the same quality that can be attained with other tools that, for example, support catmul rom and mitchellnetravali for downsampling.
    Anyway, Adobe applications are very weak when it comes to proper downsampling and file size optimization for web and screen graphics. You're better off looking someplace else.

  • How do I (or can I) convert an embedded smart object into a linked smart object

    If I start with an embedded Smart Object (S.O)., can I easily convert in into a linked type of S.O.? I have not seen this feature available in the tooling yet. Please advise.

    Since an embedded smart object is, well, embedded, there's no way to just convert. You'll have to point a link somewhere.
    If you want to keep the smart object as is, open it and "Save As" to a new location, then link to that (Place Linked). Then delete the old.
