Recropping  Smart Object leaves transparent borders

I cropped in ACR ( CS3 ) and opened in Photoshop as Smart Object. I went back to ACR to recrop a bit smaller. Returning to Photoshop I have borders of the transparent cross-hatching. When displayed in Bridge, the borders show as white. How can I get rid of them without "unSmarting" my Object?

  • Black Edges Around Scaled Smart Objects

    Hey folks,
    I've checked around and haven't really found a good solution for this, hoping somebody can help me out.  I have a smart object with transparency that looks great at 100%, as soon as I scale it down I start getting black lines around the edges and a "bevel and emboss" type effect around the edges.  I DON'T want to scale down the contents of the smart object, that's the whole point of the smart object, to retain resolution.  The "anti-alias" checkbox in the transform panel is disabled and can't be checked.  I'm using Photoshop CC 2015.   Please help as this has been driving me nuts for months.  Thanks!

    You are correct. I tried this in CS6, and the drop shadow causes the downscale algorithm to add an ugly dark border. I tried changing the image interpolation in the General options, but that has seemingly no effect at all.
    Under circumstances it looks quite terrible, and the result becomes unusable for serious work. The only way to circumvent this is to remove the drop shadow in the SO, and apply the effect instead on the SO itself.
    *edit* Out of curiosity, I also tested this in Photoline with cloned instanced layers (comparable to a SO in Photoshop), and there are no issues.

  • How to avoid transparent background converting to white in smart object(psb )when image trace High Fidelity as we have the option of ignore white upto 16 colors trace.

    i have a psd image file in photoshop cc 2014 that has transparent background layer. I wanted it to convert to vector. The best option i saw was to first convert it to smart object in photoshop via Layer->Smart Objects-> Convert to smart Object. then exported it to a psb. Then i opened the file in illustrator and applied the image trace tool but the transparent background got converted to white but i had the option of ignore white upto 16 colors trace. But in case of High Fidelity Conversion, the ignore white option is not available, what should I do now?

    after using  high fidelity image trace  i hit expand, then i went to layers and hit the drop arrow by my thumbnail, which then shows <Group>,hit that drop arrow and it will show a list of all your paths, the very bottom one was my white background, you can click the eye or delete that path and it disappeared for me. i was using a png file with a transparent background, and nothing else worked for me, it always converted with white background, i never saw this mentioned anywhere, and accidentally discovered it, hope it works!!!

  • Transparency of the Smart Object created in Illustrator

    Hi guys! Anybody smarter than me?
    I created vector object in Illustrator with opacity masks:
    I inserted saved .ai file {by draging from Br} into Ps as Smart Object.
    But have a look at the imgs. below: You can see, that the masked area using Ai - Opacity mask is 100% demasked in Ai, but do you understand, what the same area does when .ai file is converted to the Smart Object in Ps? Do you have any ide what can cause such difference in rendering of the same object?
    Thank you in advance!

    Make sure you are using the same color space in both programs and create your mask in the destination color space. It is a color management problem. This problem is because you are using different color spaces in Illustrator and Photoshop.
    Most likely you created the mask in a CMYK color space (document) in Illustrator and your Photoshop document is using an RGB color space. In fact you will have the same problem in Illustrator if you convert your CMYK document to RGB by using File > Document Color mode or copy the artwork from a CMYK document and paste it in a RGB document. Have in mind that the problem is not limited only to converting between CMYK and RGB color spaces, you could have the same problem when converting between two different color spaces using the same color model like RGB, for example sRGB in Illustrator and Adobe RGB in Photoshop. For additional details regarding similar problems with color spaces check this thread:

  • Smart object in template: saving off each layer as a png.

    I know someone must have asked for this before, however, I'm not sure how to phase it perfectly. I have provided many images to help me convey what I want, and I hope that helps. I make many mockups for smart phones and the like. Most of the time, when I present my work, my employer wants to see it "in the device".
    I have a template of a phone (I grabbed an iphone just for the sake of mockups), and I load all my mockups into the smart object that makes up the phone's screen in the template. However, saving out each mockup can become very time consuming. Is there a script out there what will save out each screen once I have added all my content to the smart object? (In my example, the final result would be 3 pngs of the phone displaying one of the 3 screens)
    Thanks!

    It there is no perspective distortion need like iPhone example a straight on perspective.  That would be a snap to do with a Photo Collage Template PSD and a batch script.  The template  could be as simpla as a background image of your iPhone shot straight on and an alpha channel the maps to the iPhone display. For example BatchOneImageCollage.jsx However that script would save a set of PSD files would contain a background layer. If you want a set of files the template would need two layers a plain white background layer a layer above it a cutout of your iPhone with the screen also cutout an missing., and the mapping alpha channel.  The saved PSD file would the need to be processed with the Image Processor Pro script the save PNG for the PSD and include an action that deletes the background layer or turns off its visibility.
    Photo Collage Toolkit UPDATED Made Rotate for Best Fit an option in PasteImageRoll.jsx Edit to customize your default settings.
    Photoshop scripting is powerful and I believe this package demonstrates this.
    The package includes four simple rules to follow when making Photo Collage Template PSD files so they will be compatible with my Photoshop scripts.
    Documentation and Examples
           There are twelve scripts in this package they provide the following functions:
    TestCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to test a Photo Collage Template while you are making it with Photoshop.
    CollageTemplateBuilder.jsx - Can build Templates compatible with this toolkit's scripts.
    LayerToAlphaChan.jsx - Used to convert a Prototype Image Layer stack into a template document.
    InteractivePopulateCollage.jsx - Used to interactively populate Any Photo Collage template. Offers most user control inserting pictures and text.
    ReplaceCollageImage.jsx - use to replace a populated collage image Smart Object layer with an other image correctly resized and positioned.
    ChangeTextSize.jsx - This script can be used to change Image stamps text size when the size used by the populating did not work well.
    PopulateCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to Automatically populate a Photo Collage template and leave the populated copy open in Photoshop.
    BatchOneImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Collage templates that only have one image inserted. The Collage or Image may be stamped with text.
    BatchMultiImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with images in a source image folder. Easier to use than the interactive script. Saved collages can be tweaked.
    BatchPicturePackage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with an image in a source image folder
    PasteImageRoll.jsx - Paste Images into a document to be print on roll paper.
    PCTpreferences.jsx - Edit This File to Customize Collage Populating scripts default setting and add your own Layer styles.
    Four Rules Templates need to follow:
    Size the photo collage templates for the print size you want - width, height and print DPI resolution.
    Photo collage templates must have a Photoshop background layer. The contents of this layer can be anything.
    Photo collage templates must have alpha channels named "Image 1", "Image 2", ... "Image n".
    Photo collage templates layers above the background layers must provide transparent areas to let the images that will be placed below them show through.

  • Smart Objects rendered incorrectly in CS6

    Here is a logo, pasted as a smart object from Illustrator into Photoshop CS5.1 :
    Here is the same logo pasted as a smart object from Illustrator to Photoshop CS6:
    Note the gaps in the orange gradient at the top of the graphic, and the transparent areas in the border of the shield. This discrepancy appears (to me) to be a result of using a "sharper" antialiasing mode in CS6 which is leaving 1 pixel wide gaps between objects that are actually completely aligned to the same points in Illustrator. Scaling the object will result in the gaps showing up in different areas of the graphic. This is incorrect behavior on the part of Photoshop CS6. Will there be a fix forthcoming? I'll have to keep working in Photoshop CS5.1 for the time being until issues like this are resolved.

    I think the discussion got sidetracked here on talking about anti-aliasing of "raster" smart objects. THIS IS NOT WHAT THIS COMPLAINT IS ABOUT.
    The original complaint, which still stands, is that vector artwork is now rendering with 1 pixel wide gaps between elements that are, in Illustrator, exactly aligned. If you go back and look at my original two examples, the logo in the second screen shot has gaps in the orange banner in the logo, and is missing elements in the border around the shield. These are gaps or holes in the logo caused by a change in the way vector objects are rendered in Photoshop CS6. This can NOT be corrected by changing the antialiasing style - there is no choice of rendering method used. You get the new one, that is broken.
    In this particular example, I opened up an old CS5.5 Photoshop file in CS6, and edited it. During that process I resized the logo a little bit, and didn't notice the gaps and lines that now appeared in the logo. I ended up sending out artwork that was affected by this bug. Luckily I did finally notice and in the nick of time was able to fix it by using the .PNG export work-around.
    I was going to post a very simple example where I had a grid of filled boxes in Illustrator that were exactly adjacent to each other, which should result in a single larger solid box in Photoshop, but instead results in 1 pixel wide gaps between the elements. You can do this experiment for yourself. The reason I have not posted such an example is that, to my dismay, this example also now exhibits the same thin gaps in Adobe Illustrator CS6. So the rendering of vector images is broken there, as well.
    Dragging and dropping elements out of InDesign into Photoshop is also a workflow that I have developed when creating web pages from previously produced print designs. This bug also affects this workflow. Every seperate vector shape in a logo or other compound artwork is now being rendered in such a way that small gaps might appear between elements that should be touching. I imagine that they are being pixel aligned or otherwise sharply antiased so that two shapes that are touching in the vector artwork are now being drawn not-touching. In the original example, if I resize the logo to a different size, the places the gaps happen change - some places that are gapped now touch, others that didn't have gaps now do.
    THIS IS A BUG which will affect legacy artwork, and will affect workflows. This has degraded the usability of the Creative Suite as a whole, and should be corrected as soon as possible.

  • Smart Objects...changing canvas size problem

    When changing the canvas size of a smart object, the layer on the original document will distort visually since it doesn't update the size of the smart object.
    Is there a solution to this, or an easy way to quickly update every instance of the smart object on the original doc?
    To clarify: I know that you can change the dimensions of the smart object on the original doc and it'll fix it, my question is if there's a way to automatically have that happen and have the original doc smart objects respect your canvas size changes on the smart object doc.
    Reproduce:
    1) Draw a circle
    2) Turn it into a smart object
    3) Go into the smart object, change the canvas size by increasing the height of the canvas. The smart object should now have a circle with blank space above/below it.
    4) Save the smart object
    5) The circle on the original document will now be squished.

    When you change the canvas size of a document the only layer that will change is a backgroung layer for it does not support transparency so its pixels will be changed.  However a background layer should not distort it may be cropped  and have canvas added in which case the color of the empty canvas can be set in the canvas size dialog.  All other layer including Smart Object layer should not chang at all.  Layer positioning in relationship to the canvas  and the new canvas size is set during the canvas size change.  Layers can be any size and have any aspect ratio. Their sizes can be smaller, the same or larger then the canvas size. Even layer that can fit  within a documents canvas size may be positioned so that all, some or none of the layer is over the documents canvas.
    I do not know what you mean when you write the original document chages. A smart object layer has an embedded copy of an object. The original document is not touched. You can open the smart object layer embedded object in  Photoshop by double clicking on the smart object icon in the layers palette smart object layer and change it size. And distort it f you wish. When you use Photoshop save. Photoshop will change the enbedded object in the smart object layer. You can also leave the embedded smaro object as is and change the smart object layer size and distort it using transform on the smart object layer itsself.
    I think what you did was to open the smart object in photoshop change its canvas saze then save it. The updated smart object is realy round but you dont see that it is becaue it is being transformec ti fit the original documents canvas. If you do a Canvas size on the codument you will see the original docyment canvas size is not change and thet your now squaching a now changed taller object into a shorter canvas.  With each Smart Obkect layer there is as associated transform.
    No I was wrong I just tried that and it looks like the transform was not the problem as yo can see I dir a Ctrl+T so you can see the size of the smart object layer is now biger then the original document and is positioned centered canvas is still 300x300 white area in image

  • How to distribute photos on a page when they are all smart objects

    Hi there,
    I have 5 images on a page in 3 columns, 2 each of 2 and 1 of 1
    They are all Smart Objects that have been resized and cropped to fit the openings they now occupy.
    I've been sizing, aligning and distributing these things by eye but watched the tutorial on how to use the alignment and distribution buttons so thought I'd try that.
    Things seem to go ok when aligning edges ...for example if I select the two images in the center column and align their left or right edges that works OK. Similarly I can select the top or bottom edges of the large on in the column of its own on the right and align its top edge with those in the other two columns and ditto for the bottom edge.
    When 'distributing' them however, things don't work, The distribution tool seems to be working off the underlying images rather than the visible images which have been resized ...and sometimes changed ...via the 'replace contents' command.
    Is there a way to get PSCC 2014, latest build ...to distribute based on what is visible instead of what the underlying image is?
    Thanks,

  • 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

  • Cropping smart object files in PS with ACR

    I sent a DNG from LR to PS with the "open as smart object in Photoshop" command and after I cropped it in ACR ... the result is in the following image:
    It is not cropping canvas ...
    So does this mean that we can not use ACR in PS for cropping smart object files?
    Any idea?
    Thanks ...

    I see a display like you show. 
    For when the it was first opened as a smart object layer it was not cropped. ACR set the new Document canvas size to the image's pixel size  for there was no open document and the transform associated the smart object anchor point is the canvas center and the width an height sizes are both 100%.  
    If I then double click on the smart icon in the layers palette. ACR open the full RAW image.  If I then use ACR crop tool and say crop a portion or the upper left section of the image. When I click OK.  Photoshop updates the smart object layer object. The rendered pixels are the upper left section. The associated transform is not changed it still has the canvas centered anchor point and a width and height of 100%.  So the layers pixel are moved to the center and the width and height are  still 100%.  The number of pixels in the object is much smaller then canvas size so there are transparent areas on all four sides and the borders on opersid sizes are equal to each other.
    If I double click on the smart Icon in the layer palette ACR open and all I see is the cropped area. When I click on ACR crop tool I see the whole image and the crop selection is the upper left section I selected the previous time I reprocessed the smart object layer

  • Smart Object Scaling Produces Artifacts

    Please look at this picture:
    When I scale down an icon using a smart object (original size is 1024x1024, the scaled down object shown here is 48x48 px), the borders of the vector shapes are added a weird sharpening effect that is not desired. When I rasterize the smart object before and scale down the resulting bitmap, the scaling is much more precise. What is wrong here?
    The original graphic contains layer styles and my scaling is set to Bicubic Automatic.
    I use Photoshop CC in the latest version.

    Vector rasterization is a different process than resampling pixel data. That may result in a different distribution of the semi-transparent pixels used for the antialaising and presumably that also messes with your layer styles. There may simply be some very faint pixels that trigger the style to be rendered. Also of course some layer styles can never be smaller than 1 or 2 pixels, which at icon sizes may extend content. Therefore flattening the stuff beforehand may be unavoidable.

  • 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

  • Smart Object - How do I keep ACR from changing workflow options?

    Open image in Photoshop as a Smart Object from Lightroom.
    Double-click to change the RAW characteristics.
    When I return to Photoshop, my image has been changed...  Color space is changed, bit depth is changed, size is changed........
    I believe I know WHAT is doing it - the Workflow Options in ACR are set.  HOW DO I TURN THEM OFF?
    I can't find a reset, and I can't get it to stop messing with the image.  I've SPECIFICALLY UNCLICKED the "Resize to Fit", but
    it STILL takes my 2600x3300 pixel image and returns it as 1824x2321 pixels.......
    Where and how do I reset this thing?

    I ABSOLUTELY agree......  That's exactly, I believe, how it's SUPPOSED to work.
    Except that mine didn't.
    I opened a 12.2 MP RAW file. 
    And made absolutely no changes to the workflow uptions at the time of opening.
    But instead of "Image Sizing" saying "Default 12.2 MP", it said "3.6MP"
    Resize was turned OFF
    Width was 2321 px and height was 1824 px, BOTH GRAYED OUT.
    Upon leaving ACR, I had a 2321x1824 file.
    Eventually, after wasting another hour screwing around with it, I finally blew away all of Bridge AND the preferences and all that,
    and rebooted since the %$#)(*& Adobe CC thing wouldn't figure out there was no more Bridge, and resintalled...........
    Now, when I open a file in there, at LEAST it knows it's 12.2MP.
    It STILL wants to change the Space to sRGB, which I NEVER use from here, and the Depth to 8-bit, which again, I never use in ACR,
    but I can set those back to what they should be...
    So, in this case, by using a large enough bludgeon, I appear to have gotten around the problem.  Now I'm just waiting to see how soon it screws up again.

  • How to copy objects from Pages (5.5.1) and paste it into Photoshop as a vector smart object with high resolution?

    I recently have bought a new Macbook Pro (Version 10.10.1) with the OS X Yosemite. The computer comes with the new Pages (version 5.5.1).
    Here is the problem: I like to create artwork using the shapes on Pages. Previously, on my old mac, I used Pages 4.3 to create objects, which I would copy then paste to Photoshop and it would become a vector smart object. However, in the new Pages (version 5.5.1), when I copy objects, they would appear on Photoshop as instead, a layer and it would not be in full resolution.
    Also, I know there is nothing wrong with the Pages file itself because I have converted the document to PDF form and it is high resolution when inserted into Photoshop that way.
    Does anyone know how I can copy individual objects from Pages (5.5.1) and paste it into Photoshop as a vector smart object with high resolution as I have done before?
    Thanks!

    Oh, well if you don't actually need vector objects then it looks like this is possible. As I said earlier, Pages is putting a PNG on the clipboard. I tested it and it does paste into Photoshop as a transparent layer, because I can see the transparent background of the pasted PNG graphic if I either turn off all layers behind it in Photoshop, or if I start a new Photoshop document to paste into but make sure I choose Transparent for the Background Contents in the New Document dialog.

  • DISGUSTED! ImageReady functionality lost for producing smart objects in GoLive!

    It is ABSURD that the rollover/layer-based slice capabilities feature of ImageReady was eliminated and instead replaced by way of mediocrity using manual copy and paste functionality within Dreamweaver. What kind of step-backward mentality is this? I am beyond disappointed and feel betrayed by Adobe, not to mention unbelievably, inconsiderately inconvenienced. Does the title "industry standard" require bowing to irrational development or is this mere laziness on Adobe's part?
    Previously I had been able to develop multiple series of rollovers within Photoshop using layers and then switch to ImageReady in order to automatically produce rollover code for a set of images...AS ONE IMAGE FILE. These images could then be placed into GoLive (another hot-button issue!) as SMART OBJECTS - gee, what a concept! - where the targets, if necessary and not already entered within ImageReady, could be linked to any page within the the site folders. Now I can't access the secondary image anywhere at all. It appears that the only solution for us lowly GoLive CS2 users is now to be required to TRIPLE THE AMOUNT OF WORK AND place multiple objects within a page layout, leaving (no pun intended) room for pixel space errors and requiring multiple manual page adjustments when the work was ALREADY DONE IN PHOTOSHOP! Layer-based slices are a work of genius, but NOT without the added capability of automatic rollover detection. How am I supposed to work this out in GoLive?
    NOW, only NOW am I discovering that this "merged capability" within Photoshop is missing one of THE MOST INGENIOUS FEATURES EVER and now I am scrambling to find some garbage workaround in order to capacitate the need for a string of visual interface objects. This is the kind of move I EXPECT from Microsoft, but NEVER have I been this put out with Adobe. NEVER.
    Is this the only solution? Bend to the will of the Dreamweaver cabal and join the ranks of the Microsuck copy-and-paste zombies? Not only is the new CS3 series "upgrade" cost-prohibitive for most anyone that isn't within the realm of the design elite or corporate ladder-climbing ranks of internal design group budgets, the tools appear to force anyone without the time necessary to learn the intricacies of manual HTML tagging to create nothing but the same garbage website in an infinite spectrum of ineptitude.
    Is the new GoLive 9 supposed to accommodate this ridiculous shot-in-the-foot move or am I REALLY going to have to resort to a complete reload of CS2?

    Dave and Buko, that's my entire point...I shouldn't have to be using CS2 after purchasing CS3. I have full versions for both thankfully and for this very reason but I don't know if I can install CS2 in addition to CS3 without causing some system file issues. I did briefly read about someone else trying that in another forum.
    IR does indeed work great with GoLive CS2. My issue is that the rollovers in the extended Photoshop CS3 do NOT work and don't export code at all. It's damn frustrating that after making the purchase, I feel duped.
    And Buko, no, I never even bothered with Dreamweaver. I attempted to learn it several times and was just put off completely. I previously owned both Macrodmedia Studio Professional and the complete Adobe CS2, but the upgrades for the combined product sets which made sense for me and didn't break the bank like purchasing the "Master Suite" didn't even include things like Fireworks, which supposedly has some sort of workaround for rollovers when setting multiple targets in an image file.
