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.

  • Multiple Smart Objects into existing photoshop file

    I need to somehow get bridge to---
    Import multiple files into an existing photoshop file (with a predetermined size ) as smart object layers in photoshop.
    The options that Bridge currently offers falls short in 2 area
    Load Files into Photoshop Layers-- does not import smart objects and creates a new photoshop file that ends up being as large as the largest imported file
    Place into Photoshop--only lets you do one at a time
    I need "Place into Photoshop" with multiple files
    Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks!!

    I don't think it is possible, but to be sure drop this question also in the
    PS forum if you already have not done so.
    Is there a way to do this?

  • How can I convert a layer into a smart object with Adobe Photoshop Elements 10?

    How can I convert a layer into a smart object with Adobe Photoshop Elements 10?

    That feature is only in PS. Elements as you buy it has only limited support for smart objects. If you use File>Place to add something to your image it will come in as a smart object (within the limits to which PSE understands smart layers). However, if you know someone who can write an action for you in PS you can install it in PSE, or you could look into something like elements+ from simplephotoshop.com.

  • Smart Object Couldn't Covert File Help!

  • Is it possible to export Vector Smart Objects as vector SVG files from Photoshop CC 2014?

    I have Vector Smart Objects copied from Illustrator and pasted into Photoshop. I would like to export them as vector SVG files (using Generator or Extract Assets). I can add the .svg extension to the layer and actually export an SVG just fine. The problem is any SVG I have exported have all been raster images. It defeats the purpose of having that as an option as far as I'm concerned.
    I remember watching and listening to keynotes and other speakers at Adobe MAX 2014 who said it was so powerful and amazing to create SVG files from Photoshop. If we're still exporting raster SVG files from Photoshop...that's not very impressive or exciting--especially since this era of modern web development benefits greatly from using vector SVG files.
    I understand that Shape Layers can be exported as vector SVG files but that seems very limiting. I also realize that users can create some impressive vectors in Photoshop, but that is not optimal. Illustrator is a better tool for creating vectors and I normally use Photoshop and Illustrator side-by-side. I know that vector SVG files can be exported from Illustrator but that isn't as user friendly and convenient as utilizing Photoshop > Generator > Reflow.
    My idea was to create my assets in Illustrator, paste them into Photoshop as Vector Smart Objects, set up my layout, and then use the Generator/Reflow method or Extract Assets to get a new web design started.
    Maybe I misunderstood what the speakers at Adobe MAX had said. Perhaps it's just user error and I'm just missing something simple (it happens).
    Photoshop CC 2014 notes the following under Help > System Info:
    Adobe Photoshop Version: 2014.2.2 20141204.r.310 2014/12/04:23:59:59 CL 994532  x64

    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for your time.

    Not quite the same, but have a look at the new Libraries feature that came with 2014.2.2  I just tried it, and dragging a vector object into a library I created in Photoshop, was there in Illustrator.  This happens without having to close and reopen Illustrator.  Just use the drop down at the top of the Libraries panel (in Illustrator) to find your custom, or job specific library.

  • Smart object within another smart object

    I'm running photoshop cs3.  I created two different smart objects.  Within each of those smart objects, I want to include another smart object.  However, when I update the embedded smart object, only the partent SO is updated, the other SO seems to have a different child.  here is the setup visually:
    canvas -> SO1  -> SO3
    canvas -> SO2  -> SO3
    so when I update SO3 from within SO1, only SO1 is updated - SO2 stays the same.  is there any way to have updates to SO3 affect all its parent SOs?
    thanks

    Smart objects are not really that smart after all. Yes PS uses a version of the original object, not the object itself.
    Furthermore, I would add they they aren't even OBJECTS!
    The very concept of an object is that changing it would affect all instances of that object, no matter where it is included, intended to save development time on complex projects.

  • Keynote 6.0 vector smart object conversion to Photoshop CS6

    Hi,
    I upgraded to OS 10.9 and Keynote 6.0. In the previous version of Keynote, I was able to easily paste Keynote content (words, shapes, charts) into Photoshop CS6 & Illustrator CS6 as vector objects, of which the elements could be independently manipulated by releasing the clipping mask.
    However, with Keynote 6.0, it appears the content mentioned above pastes into CS6 software as .tiff files with no option to convert to a vector smart object?  Is there a way to force a vector object placement or does this new Keynote version no allow (and if so why eliminate such a convenient function as vector smart objects)?
    Thanks for the help...

    Hello  thanks for your answers,
    i posted this when i was upset because it was a very frustrating situation. I create Vector art in Illustrator and most of the times i just copy and paste them into Photoshop. I dont use Illustrator Cs6 because some Issues with the color Picker and because i Use Scriptographer alot. So i use Photoshop CS6 and Illustrator CS 5.
    Somehow recently i noticed this strange behaviour. When i close Illustrator completely and doubleclick the Layer in Photoshop it works fine.

  • How do i drag and drop onto a smart object layer in Photoshop CS 5.5

    I recently bought a 3d mock up Photoshop file as I want to mock up my designs such as business cards and other 3d items. The file notes said With a simple drag and drop on the smart object layer your design will be presented in a realistic and striking way.
    Can you tell me how I do what they are telling me to do as I have played around with the file till the cows come home and can't work out how to do it. Do I need to do the old fashioned mock up way by skewing the image to fit or is there an easier way such as the drag and drop...?
    Any help will be gratefully received,
    Thanks

    Hi here is the template PSD and then I want to put my business card design over and it says you can drag and drop as per my previous message ...

  • How to copy a smart object transform in Photoshop

    Hello!
    Smart objects in photoshop is realy powerfull tool, i use it  in many different ways and create complicated web graphic. But many times i need to do one thing with them and always fail:
    If i have several different smart objects, and I do DIFFERENT  perspective transform to them (it means scaling distortion rotation etc)
    how can i apply the *same* transform that has one of my objects to another one smart objet that yet has no transformation (or it has some alrady dosn't matter)?
    In other words how can i copy the transformation in some way (as you might copy a layer style and apply the same one to a different layer)
    Is there any way? or i shoud look to scripting to do that?
    Is there real photoshop guru who knows how to do that?
    thanks in advance

    Thank you!
    Yes i know about this workaround but unfortunatly there will be immediatly other question raised :
    if i do this (replace content of my new smart object created by copying from original) then this new smart object will be disconnected from any other smart object, and there is no way how to restore this connection betwen smart objects after content replace operation. Or there is?
    This is important  for me cause in my work i have a lot of smart objects with different transformations but conneted to one source data object.
    So unfortunatly for me but this idea is not even workaround for my workflow? It's so pity

  • Vector Smart Object inside another smart object losing quality after scale

    Hi,
    I have 6 icons created on Illustrator and imported as vector smart objects.
    Then, I select all 6 and create another Smart Object from then.
    If I scale this smart object now, it will loose it´s quality, as if the icons were raster in the first place.
    This was not what happend in in PS CS5.
    It´s a bug or new "feature"?
    Rodrigo C.

    You need to realize that Photoshop renders pixels for the embedded object  then when you scale the smart object layer it scale like and raster layer through interpolation not scaled with vector graphics. Its the way smart object layers work. Hers is a very old thread on the subject

  • Updated smart object clips the mask to the shape of the smart object

    if i update a smart oject, the mask snaps to the shape of the smart object.
    this is super inconvenient if i've masked a shadow or other feathered object, when the mask clips to the the shape, it peaks around the edges of the newly cropped mask. and i have to go back in and refine the mask further, but elegantly removing the hard line edge is a royal pain in the ***.
    why does this happen?
    this example is in CS5 on OS X. this same thing occurs in CC.
    i can't believe this inconvenient flaw is still around. even further, i can't believe there are no other posts regarding this issue.
    am i missing a preference that turns this "feature" off?

  • How can I save a vector smart object to Illustrator .ai file

    I need to save a vector smart oblect from Photoshop CS6 to an Illustrator file. What's the trick?
    Thanks!

    Hi Chris,
    I need a vector smart logo that is on a PSD layer as a vector file in illustrator so I can plot cut on a vinyl cutter. How can I make sure the logo transfers as .ai at the exact size showen in the Photoshop document? I remember doiing this a few years ago but forgot the proceedure. It's probably a very easy step and once I have the answer I'll say "oh that's right I remember now" The export path to Ilustrator only gives me the saved paths in this document.
    Thanks for any help you can provide!

  • How to use same object in another vi file.

    Hi i am new to OOP in labview.
    How to use (ACCESS) same Object in multiple VI fiels in labview.
    in c# if we use same name space , then we can acces the object .
    i dont know how to use it in labview.
    and also i need to know , how to use oop in large applications

    Well LVOOP tries to be this...
    And the Actor Framework tries to be this... Using some of LabVIEW's object oriented components.
    You can have LVOOP without Actor Framework, but you can't have the Actor Framework without LVOOP.  You can however have other actor based designs without LVOOP but honestly few go this route because classes help force the developer to work inside the constructs of the design.
    Also quit yelling so much.  And before you try taking on LabVIEW's object oriented designs (and Actor for crying out loud) I'd suggest taking some beginner training which can be found at the bottom of this page.
