This is huge!!! Smart Objects and seemingly not being able to edit the image after the fact has been the bane of my editing existence. NO MORE!!! Thank you x1000000
What most video miss and even on Adobe help, is when you assign a smart object to a layer and right click to edit content, is the part where it opens in another document to do the editing and save and go back to resume your work. I was creating a mock-up for my trifold brochure and learned about placing graphics on each panel through smart object. You explained it well, thank you 👍
HUGE thank you for this. Working on upgrading my thumbnails and downloaded templates for the first time. They use Smart Objects and I had no clue what they were until that moment. Your video helped me understand them, thank you so much!
great and cool video....i did not understand anything about the smart object but now I've got it..thanks to you... you are of a very great impact ...may you work on a video of layermask
Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏 so great to hear you found the video so useful. Absolutely! if you could pop that idea into the suggestion box we can then take a look 👌 In the meantime you might also find this video helpful ruclips.net/video/-M0LLrJVbQU/видео.html. Hope that helps 😊
I´ḿ just getting in to smart objects and your tutorial is a welcome introduction. You make sense of the principles of how it works and thatś just what I needed. Many thanks!!!
Thank you so much i was following another tutorial that didn't mention how to confirm a smart object edit and was lucky to find this simplified video x
Jess you are right the algorithm is being a pain I have 4 vids here I haven't seen... odd thing is I'm subscribed and I didnt get an alarm on them. Hrm. Anyways very helpful and I feel like we just talked about this ;)
I used to use it all the time, but since recent versions it’s doesn’t work anymore do you why ? When i open a smart object, it’s not opening a psb or psd file but a jpg file (since it’s a picture, but before it’s was working). When i have more than one layers it’s request to be rasterized when i want to saved my changes and go back to the main. But if so then smart object become useless. Do you have a solution ?
Thank you so much 🙏. PSD if it’s a super simple edit, but for anything hefty, always a PSB (large document format) to ensure I don’t hit a size limit. Hope that helps 😊
Smart objects have been a mystery! Thank you for this simple explanation and showing how to subsequently make edits to a smart object. Still kind of mysterious but much closer to understanding.
Your videos explain things really simply for thickos like me thank you. I think this video hasn't got the views that the others have just because of the title, It sounds a bit technical and not very exciting.
You're not thick at all! I'm just glad to be able to help providing content that is useful for people. Good point on the title, i'll keep it in mind for future 🙂

Hello Jess, thanks for this video. When I open a file as a smart object from lightroom in photoshop in order to clean up, after pressing edit contents the only thing that pops up is the camera raw. Once I close this I can't seem to be able to use any tools just like before. Is there any workaround this? I am using photoshop 2022. Thanks in advance!
I open the .DNG file, which opens into the Camera Raw Tool, I click open from Camera Raw and then it opens in photoshop. Then I converted the .DNG file to a smart object. Then I dbl. click layer and it does open a new tab/image. I can now use content aware tools and other filters, just as described in your video. But when I close that image and hit save, when requested to, it closes that tab and I see the updates applied to the original DNG file, but I do not see any additional smart layers, like the content aware changes or camera raw filter layers, that allow me to go adjust or remove changes.
If you change something on the document that opens after editing contents, and then press the X on that tab to close it afterwards, you should be given the option to save. Hope that helps 😊
AM I ONLY ONE WITH BROKEN PHOTO SHOP. like i fucking dont get it why i cant move image when its a layer its just fucking stil in same place. i should kms

Lifesaver! I couldnt for the life of me figure out how to edit the smart layers without rasterizing. Thank you.
Happy to help! 😀
THANK YOU. It's ridiculous how many videos and articles I had to go through to find this solution.
Been using Photoshop for a long time and didn't know this trick, so useful. Thank you!!!!!!
Glad it helped you 😊

I’m so glad 🤓

Clever! I convert my raw files to smart objects after my edits in photoshop before I go to Denoise too
Yes great plan!!
This was so helpful! I've been losing so much time with this because I couldn't figure out how to edit the smart layers so THANK YOU!
You're so welcome!
Great Video!! Then what format do you save your image in when you're done editing if you might later want to go in and edit it some more?
Thank you so much 🙏. PSD if it’s a super simple edit, but for anything hefty, always a PSB (large document format) to ensure I don’t hit a size limit. Hope that helps 😊

Hey how did you used that big bright zoom circle in video and blur the background, is that a plug in or something ???🤔
It's the software we use to record our videos! Have a fab day 💪🏼
@@ThatPhotographySpot was that OBS ?

Open in photoshop not as a smart object and then convert to a smart object and that should work 😊
@@ThatPhotographySpot Jess thank you very much for this....just couldn't wrap my head around what I was doing wrong. Appreciate you very much!
I open the .DNG file, which opens into the Camera Raw Tool, I click open from Camera Raw and then it opens in photoshop. Then I converted the .DNG file to a smart object.

Hi there, so if you double click the layer again it should reopen with the adjustments just like before 😊
@@ThatPhotographySpot thanks
thanks
You're welcome!
i like your video and then just now i converted text to shape but i dont know how to convert it back to text,can u teach me?tq
Thank you for the great feedback 🙏 To the best of our knowledge you cannot transfer a shape back to text.
OMG your accent is sheeesh ❤️❤️
Thank you! 😄
Hello, so when I do the edit contents the save thing wont pop up
If you change something on the document that opens after editing contents, and then press the X on that tab to close it afterwards, you should be given the option to save. Hope that helps 😊
when I edit my smart object and close/save it, it makes it into a new file instead of updating the actual smart object file. What am I doing wrong?
It sounds like you may be renaming it? Are you? If so, don’t rename it, just hit x & select the save option that pops up ☺️
@@ThatPhotographySpot I had same issue. I did exactly what you said but nothing updated on the original smart object file
layers that can lose their resolution is a real headache. Affinity Photo lets us resize images without losing any data
AM I ONLY ONE WITH BROKEN PHOTO SHOP. like i fucking dont get it why i cant move image when its a layer its just fucking stil in same place. i should kms
😭😭😭🔥🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️

thanks
