Linked Smart Objects missing after last CC update?

I had an update come across CC for Photoshop & Dreamweaver yesterday. After applying the update I'm finding that linked smart objects are missing from my File>Place menu. Anyone else having this issue? I had them before & now they are gone. CC shows me as having no updates available. Just checked Photoshop & it's showing I'm back at 14.0.

Sounds like the updater failed and you are running 14.0.0 again.
Uninstall and reinstall.

  • 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.

  • How do you update the location of linked smart objects?

    The new linked smart object feature was a low-key feature but it's fundamentally changing our workflow for the better!
    Quick question, is there a way to update the paths to linked smart objects or will Photoshop work it out? I can't see a links panel under WIndow or file so am not sure how you do it sorry.
    I'm about to edit these files at home and want to make sure Photoshop can find the links - as well as find everything when I copy it all back to the server and work.
    Cheers

    Yes, the linked smart object can be either raster or vector, but they will be placed as raster images, just as the embedded SO are.  SO can be embedded or linked to an outside file.  Edits to the original will not update in the original until you select "Update modified content from the menu" when you reopen the file that has the place SO in it.  otherwise it will update when you save the linked file.  Yes, there still is an advantage to having an embedded SO.  You may not want to maintain the links - send a file off and forget to include the linked files.  You may want to alter the SO, but not the original file.
    Ah, thanks. But does this mean that raster and vector smart objects can EITHER be located within the Photoshop file (as they have been since their advent) OR linked to an external file?
    And if so,
    1. Can this linked file be either raster or vector?
    2. Do edits to it automatically update the Photoshop file?
    3. Is ther any longer any advantage to having the smart object data stored within the Photoshop file when it can be linked?

  • IE 11 links open to Blank page after last Window update

    IE 11 links open to Blank page after last Window update, I tried every trouble shooting and suggestions I could find in all forums but to no avail.
    Operating system Win 8.
    will try any suggestions and report back.

    Hi,
    Not sure whether you have tried these methods, if yes, keep trying the others.
    1.Run IE with no add-ons firstly.
    Click Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Internet Explorer (with no add-ons).
    If works, please follow the steps to narrow down which add-on cause the issue.
    Start IE>Press Alt to show the menu bar>On the Tools menu, click manage add-ons>under show, click All add-ons>disable half add-ons one time for quick narrow down>restart IE.
    2.Try resetting IE.
    Start IE>Press Alt to show the menu bar>On the Tools menu, click Internet options>Advance>Reset>restart IE.
    3. This is caused due to some registry problems occurred. To resolve this issue, follow the below steps:
    Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
    Type regsvr32 actxprxy.dll in the Open box, and then click OK.
    If the command was successfully executed, you will receive the message ‘DllRegisterServer in actxprxy.dll succeeded’ window.
    Restart the Internet Explorer
    4.if still not work, run system restore.
    Start>type system restore in the search box>click system restore>follow the steps in the wizard to choose a restore point.
    For more information, please see:
    Nothing happens when you click a link in Internet Explorer

  • Linked Smart Objects from Photoshop CC

    Hi
    I have a Photoshop file which makes use of the new Linked Smart Objects (introduced in the last major CC update). If I create a Reflow Project out of this .PSD the Linked Smart Objects are not being converted.
    Am I doing something wrong or is it simply not implemented yet?
    Cheers

    If that's the case then keep the main grid container at 100% and then just add two boxes inside it. The outer one also stretch to 100% and have the inner one stop on column on either side and set the max-width on that. You could also just have the inner one strech to 100% with a max-width and have the underneath one show on the side only when it get really wide. I know it feels a little akward to use the grid like that, but we only have one container that the grid is on right now so this is what we can do. Here's an example using yellow for the outer container and red for the inner.
    Hope that helps and thanks again for using Reflow!

  • 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

  • PS CC 14.2: Linked Smart Objects workflow

    I like the idea of the Linked smart objects. Just a question about possible workflow.
    I work with large layered docs in the 2+GB range. It can get slow, particularly saving and opening.
    Idea 1) I use textures on seperate layers. Just by lining the PLACE My file size will be smaller. I'm guessing saving will be faster.
    Idea 2) Would it be possible. To work on a lower resolution "proxy" (example final version are images 10,000 x 10,000). Use all layers as SO, downsampled to 2k x 2k.
    Everything will be much faster. But all my changes (Blend modes, Opacity, Smart filters) are on the Proxy images.
    Now I want to generate my 10K version, could I swop out those 2k images in a folder for the High res?
    Have PS "update?"
    Maybe It would be required to change the image size to the 10K resolution, then update the Linked SO?
    I'm just thinking if this could be possible.
    Would save a ton of HD space, Make everything run quicker up until the final step.
    What do you guys think?
    Maxi
    Linked Smart Objects

    I've done a test.
    Swopping a high res for the low res image does work, but PS does not respect the scale. So the image comes in very large.But if I reveal all. I can get the full image to appear. And Smart Plug ins like NIK Analog Efex do rerender at the full res.

  • Script to load multiple linked smart objects to stack

    Hi
    we have a workflow where we work with exr images, and load about 15 of them at a time into a stack, then from there convert them into smart objects.
    As the linked smart objects is out this means we can replace a folder full of images and update them which would save opening up the psd and having to replace conent on all smart objects.
    but can't seem to find a way to load multiple smart linked objects in with out having to do 1 by 1.
    Is there a simple script to do this?
    Thanks

    I had asked Adobe about a modified script to do this, but at this time, they didn't seem interested in developing it.  Perhaps if more people ask for it they would add this feature, which would be extremely handy.  Don't know if anyone has come up with their own script for this yet, but I'm sure someone will.

  • Open as linked smart object

    Hello,
    iam looking for a solution to open files in a folder
    and copy then into a document.
    Its working good, but i need the files to be linked smart object.
    Anyone knows a solution ?
    Here my Code so far:
    See in line 33. Convert to smart object: ?
    var file = new File('C:/User_MY PATH.PSD'),
    docRef = open(file);
    // Use the path to the application and append the samples folder
    var samplesFolder = Folder('C:/USERS_MY FOLDER');
    //Get all the files in the folder
    var fileList = samplesFolder.getFiles()
      // open each file
      for (var i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++)
      // The fileList is folders and files so open only files
      if (fileList[i]instanceof File)
      open(fileList[i])
      // use the document name for the layer name in the merged document
      var activeDocName = app.activeDocument.name;
      var targetDocName = activeDocName.substring(0, activeDocName.lastIndexOf("."));
      // Copy the Document
      app.activeDocument.selection.selectAll()
      //convertToSmartObject(); THIS ISNT WORKING - CONVERT IT ?
      app.activeDocument.selection.copy()
      // don’t save anything we did
      app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES)
      //Select specific layer to paste the copy, this is to make sure the layers are in a specific position
      var doc = app.activeDocument;
      doc.activeLayer = doc.artLayers.getByName("bgr");
      //Paste Document
      app.activeDocument.paste()
      app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name = targetDocName

    Use scriptlistener:
    var idPlc = charIDToTypeID( "Plc " );
        var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();
        var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
        desc2.putPath( idnull, new File( "C:\\Photos\\myPhoto.psd" ) );
        var idLnkd = charIDToTypeID( "Lnkd" );
        desc2.putBoolean( idLnkd, true );
        var idFTcs = charIDToTypeID( "FTcs" );
        var idQCSt = charIDToTypeID( "QCSt" );
        var idQcsa = charIDToTypeID( "Qcsa" );
        desc2.putEnumerated( idFTcs, idQCSt, idQcsa );
        var idOfst = charIDToTypeID( "Ofst" );
            var desc3 = new ActionDescriptor();
            var idHrzn = charIDToTypeID( "Hrzn" );
            var idPxl = charIDToTypeID( "#Pxl" );
            desc3.putUnitDouble( idHrzn, idPxl, 0.000000 );
            var idVrtc = charIDToTypeID( "Vrtc" );
            var idPxl = charIDToTypeID( "#Pxl" );
            desc3.putUnitDouble( idVrtc, idPxl, 0.000000 );
        var idOfst = charIDToTypeID( "Ofst" );
        desc2.putObject( idOfst, idOfst, desc3 );
    executeAction( idPlc, desc2, DialogModes.NO );

    hi - i think you should not use 'xhost +' - it's not secure and you shouldn't need it....
    in your .bashrc or .cshrc or whatever, you should have setenv DISPLAY .0 or the equivalent export...
    then ssh -Y hostname should be all you need... no xhost, and not setting DISPLAY every time...
    could you enter the following command from a terminal window and post back the results?
    grep X11 /etc/ssh*_config
    cheers

  • Linked Smart Objects

    When you send a PS file which has a linked Smart Object to a print vendor, will you need to send the linked Smart Object file as well?

    That's what I was afraid of. As a print vendor AND a designer I'm concerned that word has not gotten out that linked objects will need to accompany the file and we will end up dead in the water when we need to open up a photoshop file with a linked smart object. This is a relatively new problem for Photoshop, although InDesign and even many Illustrator users know that links need to be sent. In fact, we're seeing the opposite trend in InDesign, where artists are embedding artwork in their InDesign file rather than linking, which has both pluses and minuses.
    Thanks!

  • Layer Comps should capture changes to a Linked Smart Object's Layer Comp

    Normally, I can move things around or change visibility, and use Layer Comps in my master doc to capture these changes.
    However, changing which Layer Comp displays from a Linked Smart Object cannot be captured by Layer Comps in my master doc.
    Slightly more information: Sorry it's a little convoluted. I have several Linked Smart Objects inside a master doc, and these Smart Objects contain different Layer Comps. It's awesome that I can easily change which Layer Comp each Smart Object displays. But when I make a change, it cascades across the Layer Comps in my master doc. So my master doc's Layer Comps cannot effectively capture a state.
    It would be awesome if Layer Comps were able to capture state changes for the display of Linked Smart Object's Layer Comps. #featurerequest
