Photoshop :: Can't Warp Pasted AI Vector Smart Object Using Free Transform In CS6
Sep 5, 2012
I pasted a vector object into PS CS6 (13.0.1 x32) today directly from Illustrator CS6 (16.0.1 x32), and selected "Paste as Smart Object" (Windows XP Pro SP3).
Â
I then tried to warp the pasted object using the Free Transform tool by dragging one of the corner handles with CTRL held down (Windows).
Â
This usually warpsdistorts the object, but instead, this launched a skew operation.
Â
If I paste as Shape Layer or as Pixels then apply Free Transform, <Ctrl + corner handle drag> performs a warpdistort operation. Also, if I rasterise the pasted AI object, and then convert to a Smart Object I can warpdistort.
Â
Is it not possible to paste an Illustrator vector in as a Smart Object, and then warpdistort it directly using this technique?

Why does making a selection inside of a smart object (say with the rectangular marquis tool) disable Free Transform?

Problem: Transform applied to Smart Object fails to transform an attached Smart Filters Mask.
Â
I mean a Transform, including Free Transform, as found in the Edit menu. A simple move by the Move Tool is OK.
Â
A workaround until this bug is squashed is to encapsulate the Smart Object + Smart Filters + Filter Mask inside another Smart Object and transform that.However, that will not be a satisfactory solution in some cases. If a filter has size parameter(s), e.g. Gaussian Blur radius, a scaling or warping/distorting transform applied after the filter will obviously differ from the filter applied after the transform.
Â
In any case, the workaround is inconvenient to subsequent editing and experimenting with filters and masks.

When I free transform and warp a layer to lie flat, sometimes I'll get this harsh pixellation at one end of the layer. It doesn't appear while I'm doing the warp, just suddenly coming up when I hit enter to apply the transformation.
Â
So for example, Ill be transforming this grid, which is originally about 9x this big.So when I''m running the transformation/warp, it looks like this Not great, but at least most of the lines are still intact on the left and back (the right side is basically fine looking) But once I hit enter, I get this And now like, half the lines I did have are gone, and what's left is super pixelated.
Â
Is there an interpolation setting I could be using? Is it something unavoidable from how distorted I make the layer?

When I try to scale down a Smart Object, by using the Free Transform tool, I get over-sharped edges. 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.

I'm experiencing strange behaviour of the Free Transform Tool.
Free Transform determines the size of the shape including the points handles. Tested the same in Photoshop CS6 but it works normal there. Check the screenshot please:
When you try to allign the shape to other one, this is how Smart Guides works:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Photoshop CC
2. Draw a random shape with Pen Tool.
3. Get the Move tool and hit Free Transform (Ctrl+T).
4. Enjoy!

When I save my photoshop file as an .eps, I can have all the text from the Photoshop file remain vector, but a Vector Smart Object does not remain vector. Is there a way to have it remain vector?

I am trying to "skew" an object. I use the Free Transform tool, then click and hold on a handle, then hold down Control, and drag the handle where I want it. This works fine. BUT the second I let go of either the mouse or the Control button, it pops back to its original location/shape. How do I make the transformation "stick"? I'm sure I'm being really dense and missing something very simple.

The transform tools work once, then I have to quit and reopen for it to work the next time I place a smart object.

Problem: Transform applied to Smart Object cannot be repeated on another target.
Â
"Edit > Transform > Again" fails to transform any target after a Transform is applied to a Smart Object.

I am finishing a poster, fully created in shapes in illustrator. Due to customers request I was forced to do some color corrections so I decided to use my PhotoShop CS6.I imported vector files into my photoshop as smart objects, added some adjustments layer, few vector masks and I changed their layer style to get the finest result.
Â
When I finished my work in PS I tried to save this as .pdf In my .psd there are shape layers, some groups and some adjustments layers with layer masks and changed Layer style to "color", one text layer and 3 smart objects imported from illustrator.I want to keep my image scaleable for bigger resolutions.
Â
So I was trying to save this file as Adobe PDF but I found that whole graphic in exported .pdf was converted to raster, besides the border, cut marks and that one text layer.I think that this is because of smart objects. (saving as .pdf without them works pretty good)
Â
Is somehow possible to save this document from photoshop as vector.pdf? or is possible to import group of shapes from illustrator to photoshop as shapes in photoshop? no as smart objects.
Â
I am running out of time so I saved it as high res .Jpeg, but I want to know if this is somehow possible for future use or If I have to rather avoid that solution. Will be included .pdf file as raster? or it will stay scaleable even with smart objects in it?

I am trying to make a text layer in photoshop and convert to a smart vector object, but it only gives me an option to convert to smart object, as opposed to vector smart object. The bad point about this is that the text becomes rasterised when exported to EPS or PDF (same with vector shapes within a smart object), unlike a regular vector layers which output correctly.
Â
Is there anything i'm missing out on, or do I have to revert to importing all text from illustrator and set up my smart vectors like that?

I am storing design elements as Vector Objects in Illustrator so that I can update them quickly when needed. The issue is that they vector objects, when viewed inside of photoshp, are quite a bit more blurry than the photoshop equivalent. Any ideas why? I understand that the Smart Object is rasterized. Do I need to do something to my photoshop document to view it in its final rendered state? Photoshop elements are rasterized as well, so i am not sure what is going on. In the attached pic, the top element is from illustrator, while the bottom is the same thing made inside photoshop.

issue when pasting complex Vector Smart Objects into Photoshop CC?
Â
I created a shape in Illustrator CC, added an Extrude and Bevel effect to it, and then pasted it as a smart object in Photoshop CC. The first example what it looks like in Illustrator CC, the second is what it pastes as in Photoshop CC. As you can see, it is rendering it very poorly and totally unusable as a Smart Object.
Â
I've recently updated to CC, and this never happened in CS5. Is there a new preference in CC that works to render vector objects? maybe something I turned off by accident?

If I duplicate a Vector Smart Object and "Edit Contents", the changes show up in both layers.
Â
How can I create a unique duplicate of a Vector Smart Object so if I "Edit Contents" of one layer, it won't affect the other?

I've copied and pasted a shape from Illustrator into Photoshop CS6.
Â
When I go to transform layer, Photoshop is putting a large bounding box around the object — even though the object's bounds are much smaller.
Â
No other layers are selected or linked to the Vector smart object.

I'm running Photoshop CS6 (13.0.1) 64bit on a MacBook Pro running OS X Lion. About 60% of the time when I try to double click a vector smart object instead of opening it up in Illustrator I get an error that says, "Could not edit original smart object because of program error." This most recent time it was a smart object from vector data I copied and pasted from Illustrator into Photoshop.

Is there a trick to pasting a pixel-perfect vector image from Illustrator into Photoshop as a smart object, and not introduce a bunch of anti-aliasing that was not in the original file? My images are perfectly aligned with the pixel grid in Illustrator, and the pixel preview shows them correctly.
Â
This page is useful for dealing with vector shape layers, but the techniques he talks about don't work for smart objects. Strangely, he says he doesn't have a problem with smart objects, but I do.
Â
Here is an example of what I'm talking about: a simple 13x13 pixel image in Illustrator turns to crap in Photoshop when pasted as a smart object (I know an image as simple as this could be pasted as a shape layer, but the real images I'm working with are much more complex, and cannot be pasted as simple shape layers).
Â
I'm using Photoshop CS4.

I don't have this! I've been following some tutorials and the one's that i like all have this step in them. Prob is that when i go to try it warp is not there. I'm not sure if maybe it's a plug in.

I am having an issue when trying to use the Free Transform function in Photoshop CS5.1. After pressing command+T, the bounding box appears, but when I attempt to resize, the program becomes unresponsive. After a minute or two I can cancel the Free Transform and the program become responsive once again. Seems to be more of an issue when trying to transform more than one layer at once.
Â
I am on a 1 year old MacBook Pro with 16GB, I have 10 GB of free space. I am on OS X 10.7.5 (recently installed this upgrade and this may be part of the issue.)
Â
I am in 64-bit mode. My memory usage set at 70%. The cache tile size is set to 1024K . I have reset my settings, ran all available updates.
Â
My card specs are:
Video Card Vendor: ATI Technologies Inc.
Video Card Renderer: ATI Radeon HD 6750M OpenGL Engine
Â
After visiting the AMD site, found that they do not have an update for 10.7.5 and do not have the HD6750 listed for Mac.
Â
Edit: Also, cannot move the image once I press command+T. (Or at least it make the program unresponsive for a while)
Â
Update: Uninstalled entire design suite and re-installed. Still having the same issue.

I try to free transform an image whether it be rotating, enlarging, scewing or whatever, after I deselect, photoshop or imageready will automatically try and blur the image around so it seems smoother.
This is fine most of the time, but it produces some transparent pixels, and gifs have problems with these. Is there a way to stop PS and IR from doing this on a free transform so it just leaves the image as it is before deselecting?

Any time I paste an object from AI into PS, it's getting horizontally squashed. Here's an example:
Â
1. 12x12 pixel circle in Illustrator, aligned to pixel grid.
 2. Pasted into Photoshop as a Smart Object, it's visibly distorted (12x11), but the W/H is inaccurately labeled 100%.
 3. After pasted, if I select Edit > Transform > Scale, now the starting W/H are shown with the accurate distorted values.

I have used this program for years to edit photos before uploading them to my web-site. I have always used the "Free Transform" option to change photo sizing, until today.<br /><br />Today I went to edit a photo, and the "Free Transform" option (under the "edit" pull down menu) is GONE!<br /><br />The option is not grayed out (meaning that it is not usable). It is simply gone from the pull down down menu.<br /><br />I don't know if I accidentally changed an important setting, or if I'm doing something wrong, or if the software has a glitch.<br /><br />If anyone is knowledgeable or experienced with this matter,.net
