Replacing smart object content using Droplets ???

Hi,
I have a .psd with a smart object as one of the layers.
I could easily go to Layers>Smart Objects>Replace Contents...
but I have a couple of thousand files to replace.
Is there a way to create a droplet so i can just drop the files into it
and it automatically replaces the content of the smart object
then saves out a new file for me?
This would help me tremendously.
I would appreciate any help.
Moo...

In my opinion this task will need some Scripting unless the Layer-names and Layer-structure are identical in all the files.
One should be able to include the Script in a Droplet, but one might just as well use a dialog within the Script itself, I guess.
If you should find no other option you might be able to get some help in the Photoshop Scripting Forum.

Replace Smart Object content

I have a photo template with a few smart object. The templated works fines when i perform a "replace content" command. I was trying to automated this with an action, however the action just places the same photo when i point it to a folder with many images. Is there method of having the action cycle through the images?

You can't use the Replace Contents action step in a Batch to flow in a folder of different images unless you use a Javascript to direct it. That can get very complicated if you've never worked with it.
Variables and Data Sets is the standard method of approach with many tutorials online.
Video Layer framing is quicker and more versitle. You won't find any documentation on that method, will require more experimenting probably.
If you're more comforable with just actions and batches, then you could try a different layer structure. Create an action that you can batch directly on the images that:
- Selects all layers.
- Convert to Smart Object (hopefully content is same size between files?).
- Places your main background file as a SO.
- Moves the main background SO to the bottom.
- Transforms the original SO to the correct placement. (use a dummy layer to record or group before transform to properly record values).
Before, you were batching the same Replace Contents statement on all files, when none of the files contained the Smart Object you wanted to affect. That's why it didn't work. Here, you are Batching the individual files, sending them to another folder, or overwriting them by 'Save and Close'. Your main content is placed underneath the contents of each file.
Good luck,

Replace smart object script

Disclaimer: I do not know how to script, but am willing to learn and am looking for advice.
I need to replace the text in a smart object from a data list then save the updated file using the smart object text. Is there an existing script that will do this?
I cannot use a straight text layer because I'm performing a free distortion warp on the smart object that does not work on straight text. Using variables seems like a logical solution, but the only variable type for smart objects is "visibility".
Plan "B" is to "replace smart object" with a series of PSD files containing the appropriate text. This works great, but I don't know how to automate it. I can easily create the series of PSD files using variables, but don't know how to automate their insertion into the template containing the distorted smart object.
I'm looking forward to learning something new!

I took a quick look at your script.
I do not know where the the displacement map come in,
The script seem the be replacing the object content of the current smart object layer.
That layer can have had all sort of photoshop functions associated with it and has an associated transform. All smart object layer have an associated transform and may have smart filters and filter mask as well.
I see no code to handle the smart object size and make the replacement object have the same size or insure the replacement object is the aspect ratio and size. Replacing a smart object content does not change the current layer's associated the transform that transformed the original object. If the replacement object is not the same size as the original object the transform may not work like your expecting.
An associated displacement map may come into play because of smart filters on the smart object layer. Displacement maps content are either for the layers content or for lower layers content to make the current layer to conform to lower layers contours.
In fact I create a four image picture package template that used a smart object for the image. Added CS2 for a file type that could be used to replace the image in your script and ran your script. It did pop up the ACR dialog if I select a raw file but it worked perfectly for my portrait cr2 files are the same size and aspect ratio. Ast the object.
And a jpeg was saved to my desktop.

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:

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

How to replace a Smart object content with folder of JPGs

Greetings!
Sorry if that title is not clear. I have a cover design template (see example). The image is a transformed Smart Object. I want to streamline my workflow.
Say I have a folder of jpgs, and need to replace the smart object of the template with the new cover jpg, then save for web as a JPG comp. Repeat.
I already have a nice "scale layer to current canvas size" script from Michael L Hale. Which would be necessary in case the jpg is larger or smaller than the Smart object's content it will replace.
Any thoughts if this could be done?
Michael's resize script is here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1233856
Thanks
Maxi

Remember in that other tread I wrote you would need to take aspect ratio into account if you don't want distortion. You do not want distortion placing in images. You also do not want to place in all image in canvas size. If your images vary in size you do not want to replace the contents of a smart object layer for the smart object associated transform to work correctly you need the replace the embedded object with an object with exactly the same size of the original embedded object.
Also in that other thread I gave you code from one of my Photoshop Photo Collage Toolkit. You seem to be creating a collage. You man want to look at my Photo Collage Toolkit.
Templates are very easy to create for my Toolkit's scripts to work, You just need to follow four simple easy rules.
The Four Rules:
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.
So your template would be easy and look like this, Red rectangle outlines my scripts.
You would then use one of the scripts like interactive popopulate select the template then hit create collage
The script would the open the template copy it the go to full screen show you a cyan mask as to where the next image will be placed, And put you into an interactive select image dialog.
Once you select the script will place in the image resize and position it the put you in an interactive transform so you can tweak the position and size. The Populated collage will remain open in Photoshop.

How to replace all objects while using IMPDP

I have exported a schema using EXPDP, now I am trying to import (IMPDP) that into another database as different schema, which already contains some of the objects (like tables, procedures, sequence etc).

Hi,
There is no way to do what you want using datapump. Datapump does not have an 'OBJECT_EXISTS_ACTION = REPLACE'. All it has is the TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION. Can you get around this by dropping the schema? If not, then the only way I can think of is by using the sqlfile parameter on impdp.
sqlfile allows you to write all of the ddl that is going to be executed during a datapump job to a .sql file. You can then edit that file and either attempt a drop before the create or change the 'create' to 'create or replace'. Then run the .sql file.
You would then have to run the datapump import job with content=data_only to load the tables with their data.

How to automate replacing smart object from folder?

Hello!
I have a layout in CS6, with an image that is a smart object. I have a folder of jpgs, and need to make comps from each of the JPGs. At the moment I take the master, double click the smart object. Place in the source JPG from the folder I'm working on. Save, back in the master, I export the updated layout for web. Then repeat.
What I'd like to do, is use an action or script, that I could point to the folder of JPGs, and have it automatically, update the smart object with the JPGs export the comp as jpg for all of them.
Is there a way to do this without being a programmer?
Thanks
Maxi

Here's screenshots of a solution that doesn't require a script. You'll need to manually open the layout doc then open the SO but everything else is automated by Batch. Make absolutely sure that the SO doc is active when starting to record the Action and when you launch Batch. That's necessary for the "Select previous document" and "Select next document" steps to refer to the correct docs.

Kelby shows CS 6 converting to smart object before using Liquify

In Kelby's "Hidden Gems" of CS6, he converts the image to a smart object using the filter menu "convert for smart objects" before he uses the Liquify filter, thus adding a Liquify mask and the ability to go back and edit Liqify. When I open a Raw file and convert to smart object, it greys out the Liquify filter. Liquify is only available before adding the smart filter. What's wrong with this? I'm on a Mac 10.8.2

Only the Creative Cloud Photoshop CS6 v13.1 has Smart Filter enabled Liquify and Blur Gallery. (However, apparently, 13.1 has an additional payload of bugs and broken functionality.)

Replace content smart objects doesnt work properly.

Hello fellow Photoshoppers,
Currently i am working on reusable album templates with smart objects. At first i was very enthusiastic but this was soon to end. as the replacing doesnt work properly.
I made the smart object by using:
1. > file
2. > place
then i try to replace the content by using.
1. > layer
2. > smart objects
3. > replace contents
the old image should get replaced by the chosen file and matching size, smart layers etc. However when i perform the same actions my image gets replaced but it is not the same size as the smart object it replaced. This makes the entire template useless as it would take far too much time resizing every single image. inspired by another video I also tried double clicking the layer and tried replacing the image in the editing sceen by dragging another file on top of the smart object. Again, it does not spread out to the full smart object size and i'm stuck with a small image in need of extra work.
Needless to say, very frustrating.
Any thoughts?

Are you sure you understood how it is intended work?
That is an interesting question, i have no experience with photoshop as i bought CS5,5 just a week ago and have no experience with any of the previous versions either. All info regarding how to make such a template i found from various tutorials, i posted one below. When they do it the image get scaled perfectly. Now since they use some smart filters in the tutorial i applied them aswell to see if this would fix the problem but it did not.

Are the images you want to switch in at least always of the same width to height-relation?
I checked both files for consistency and discovered they were shot on different camera's. One file ( the origional smart object ) was cropped form a 21,0MP file and the other was croped from a 10,1 MP file. Both images were cropped to a 2x1 ratio. Having discovered the difference in pixel amount i cropped a different 21,0 MP file to 2x1 ratio and checked both files for their exact dimensions (both images are equal in size with 5616 x 2808 pixels) and replaced the content with the newly cropped file which gave a much better result. However, the image was slightly smaller in photoshop leaving a small gap where the origionally placed smart object lined up perfectly. I turned the situation around and placed the 10,1MP cropped image as the smart object and replaced the content by a 21,0 MP cropped image. As to be expected i ended up with a new image much larger then the smart object. So the smart object does not constrain the files to the dimensions set. As it turns out it only scales the replaced content relative to the size of the origional content of the smart object.
I just need a reusable template with objects that:
- cannot be moved once locked ( if possible) but can have its content replaced
- scales the replaced content to the predefined dimensions
- needs no prework like cropping to the same aspect ratio as the smart object content. ( i want to be able to place a landscape sized raw (3x2) on any landscape format (2x1 / 16x9 / 4x3 or whatever) i find it acceptable to having to crop a portret to landscape orientation first before being able to replace a landscape.
now ive been searching for more info and some people say indesign is much faster in making album pages so I am installing the program as we speak hoping this will be the solution.

Invoking script using smart object layer - fails in Windows

I have recently encountered in what seems to be a bug in Configurator in Windows. The same example works on a Mac.
The scenario is the following: a document with a smart object layer on top.
A configurator button executes the script app.activeDocument.activeLayer.resize(133.33333, 133.33333, AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER);
This causes an error message as below:
If I instead invoke the script manually, using File > Scripts > Browse... it works fine.
The button works fine if the smart object is rasterized.
I'm running Configurator 2 (052610), CS5 and Windows XP. Any help is greatly appreciated!

In sure if this is all you need to correct the error but the function below will return the active smart object contents type.
// returns either "vectorData" ( AI ) or "rasterizeContent" ( PS or ACR ) if smart cbject layer
// or undefined if not smart object layer
function getSmartObjectType(){
    var ref = new ActionReference();
    ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('Lyr '), charIDToTypeID('Ordn'), charIDToTypeID('Trgt') );
    var desc = executeActionGet(ref);
    if(desc.hasKey(stringIDToTypeID('smartObject'))){// is smart object?
        var desc = executeActionGet(ref).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID('smartObject')).getEnumerationValue(stringIDToTypeID('placed'));
        return typeIDToStringID(desc);

Photoshop CS6: Pros and Cons of Using Smart Objects

I haven't had Photoshop CS6 for that long, and have only just got past feeling uncomfortable with using Curves, now I've learnt how to use them properly.
My concern is - I am currently learning about Smart Objects. The concept, at first, seemed like 'the best thing since sliced bread', being able to non-destructively use filters, Shadows/Highlights command, Unsharp Mask, endlessly scale using Free-Transform etc etc, without harming pixels at all.
However, the more articles I read about their use in Photoshop, the more I am afraid to start using them in my workflow.
I understand that when you convert to a Smart Object, this process is non-destructive, i.e. I can perform as many readjustments to a filter, for example, and Photoshop will always work from the embedded container file (which has had no filter adjustment made to it) to adjust the filter to your most recently adjusted settings. If you later decide you don't want to use a filter at all, and rasterize the Smart Object back into a regular layer again, is this process non-destructive as well?
Then there is this article, which I struggle to understand properly:
http://bjango.com/articles/smartobjects/
Please see the part 'Smart Objects Created in Photoshop'. It seems to say I can't scale with a Smart Object without causing interpolation and blurry edges. Please can somebody clarify what the writer of this article is trying to get across, because it is well documented that Smart Objects can be endlessly rescaled non-destructively.
Please understand I use Photoshop primarily for editing photographs.

There is much modern focus on "non-destructive" editing, but keep in mind if you don't overwrite or destroy the original file there is no destruction at the highest level. Put in layman's terms, you could always start over with the raw file.
That thought segways into my next one: Non-destructive editing makes sense if you need to use the same information for a variety of somewhat related purposes, or if the work product may need to change (e.g., to suit the whims of a fickle client).
But at another extreme, if you're editing for a particular purpose - say creating the best possible print from an exposure - sprinting right for the finish line by changing pixel values directly and being done with it can be an extremely effective approach. This requires that you get things right the first time, and that takes practice.
Some folks do their Photoshop work by building up layer after layer and using smart objects, smart filters, etc., and this can be effective but no computer has yet been built that can composite all that stuff in real time with a big image. So there IS a cost to doing it. What you might gain by being able to re-do things, you might not have needed to gain if your control responses were instantaneous and you could tweak the intermediate result at every step very easily. Note the number of posts about how slow Photoshop CS6 is/was at editing deep documents, some by people using 2012 computers.
As with most things, it's horses for courses. It's good that Photoshop gives us rich tools and choices for how to work.
Regarding your specific question, bear in mind that what's communicated to the parent document from each of its embedded Smart Objects is a flat, rasterized image. Think of the embedded smart object kind of like going off and opening another document, making the changes you want, saving the document, then flattening it and pasting the pixels into your parent document.
In the very first example in the linked article, they show how the smart-object-rasterized image of a vector circle, subsequently scaled by resampling the parent document in which the Smart Object is used, becomes fuzzy as it is scaled up. Once you understand this you realize that of course you could scale up the smart object itself, e.g., to a size equal to or larger than what's ultimately needed by the parent document, and then it could be crisp in the parent document where it's used.
Of course, having all your smart objects at a size larger than you need takes up even more resources.

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.

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?

Update smart object in another Photoshop file

Ok so I am a logo designer, and I have this photorealistic mockup for logos.
So i have a layout where the main logo is a little above center, and below are two mock ups. So I am trying to have it where I can just make a change in the illustrator file and photoshop can instantly make the change. The problem is that I am using two different mock ups and I have to edit both the mock ups (double click opening another window and pasting the smart object) to use them. The top layer is ok, because it will update itself.
I want a way to edit the illustrator logo and photoshop to make all the changes in all three displays itself. The problem is that the bottom displays open up other photoshop windows, with smart objects within them, but if I open up the top smart object, then it automatically opens illustrator.
So is there a way to just make one change in illustrator and photoshop to automatically update it all.

Instead of two different files, you may want to combine them into one file and use the layer comp panel to switch between the two views. Then you could alter one smart object and it would affect both views.

Photoshop CS6, Free Transform & interpolation on Smart Objects

Hi,
I'm really frustrated with this, since in all the previous versions this problem was not present.
When I try to scale down a Smart Object, by using the Free Transform tool, I get over-sharped edges. I suspect this is an interpolation issue. Mind you when I do the same on a raster layer I can overcome it since there is an option box where I can choose interpolation method.

flamestudios wrote:
That worked for me, even if I would prefer to be able to choose interpolation method when I transform Smart Object layers, just like you can on raster ones.
That not an option and its never an option using DOM scripting code you need to retrieve the users interpolation method set the one you want to use and then restore the users preference. Adobe even broke that in CS6. If you try the retrieve the user preference and it set to "Bicubic Automatic" which happens to be Adobe's default setting CS6 script encounters an internal error. If you catch the error and you can know the user setting is "Bicubic Automatic" If you change the setting your unable to restore the users setting for like you can not retrieve "Bicubic Automatic" using DOM code you can not set it with DOM code. Perhaps you can with Action Manager scriptlistener code. I'll give Adobe some more time to fix this before adding special code into my scripts to get around the CS6 problem.
