when I place a SmartObject from an external file PSP CS3 seems to store it in the current file; if I change the external file, the placed object does not change automatically (I have to use the replace function to apply changes in the external file).
Is there any way to use external files as SmartObjects and apply changes in the external files automatically?
when using smartobjects that though the abilty to use filters works fine on their own filters cannot be applied while using actionsHas anyone else noticed this strange behavior? My Thoughts is that this is a bug left over from when filters could not be applied to smart objects that was never adjusted in the actions coding.

If I am shooting in camera raw and I want to transfer a part of an image onto a page without the background from the image, what is the best method for preparing the image... I don't necessarily need step by step instructions just to be pointed in the direction of the best method. For example we are working on a book about firearms in a museum collection and want to place some of the photos without backgrounds and some with backgrounds.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI used to work with another artist at a graphic design firm and he showed me a really cool way to put like an empty black, blurred mask behind people cutout or extraction which gave an illusion of depth. The mask really helped make the subject not look like an obvious knockout. He went through the steps and I should heave written it down, but failed to do so and lost the techniques.
I have been experiementing with doing a female model with flowing hair, like you see on the better fashion mags, saving the sel in channels and doing my editing there. Then I have tried using channel copies and using layer masks and it's still not the trick or result the PS artist was doing.
how I might be able to pull this masking technique out of the hat?

I have Windows 7 with CS6 13.0.1 x64 installed on my D drive because my C drive is a 60Gb SSD. I have my cache set up to use the D drive. In my setup for cache, I have the D drive listed first and it is checked. Below that my C drive is listed and is NOT checked.
Every time I bring up Photoshop, it impolitely places a ~4Gb file (Photoshop Tempxxxxxxxxx) in C:. Now normally I wouldn't mind this, however the drive is only 60Gb and contains the Windows 7 OS. This doesn't leave room for much else.
How can I tell Photoshop to put this file on my D drive?

When I try to place a picture in photoshop CS6 either from drag&drop in the application window or from the place command, my image gets automatically resized based on the resolution (pixels per inch) of my document.
Example:
I create a new blank document, 1000*1000px @ 300ppi.I have another image that I want to place in the document and this image measures 500*500px @ 100ppi.I then go to File->Place and the image that appears is way too big. In the Info panel, it says that the image is 1500x1500 and the transform settings at the top indicate that the image hasen't been scaled because both width and height are at 100%.If I cahnge my document resolution (no resample) to 100ppi, the image has the right size when I place it.
Is this normal? Because it has never done that with past versions of Photoshop. If it is normal, is there a way I can change this because placing an image based on it's physical (printed) size makes absolutely no sense. 1 pixel = 1 pixel.
Figure 1 are my grunge brushes i want to be using. Figure 2 is showing that my grunge brushes are not showing up in the menubar. Whenever i download and place any new brushes in my brushes folder. Even after a restart they never show up in figure 2. So what keeps happening is all my brushes keep getting piled up in figure 1 and it makes it impossible to find the ones i need.. And evne if i click on load brushes they still end up in figure 1 and not in there own seperate section within figure 2. Photoshop keeps classing my brushes as one and keeps grouping them all up into an existing preset.

I recently placed text on an arc in Photoshop and found that it appears to stretch the text as well. I placed the same text on a circle in Illustrator and then placed it on top of the text in Photoshop. When the two lines of text were then made to have letters of the same height, the letters were not the same width (Photoshop letters were wider). Illustrator appears to maintain the aspect ratio of each letter when placing text on a curve while Photoshop does not.
Is this known to happen? Is there a way to place text on an arc in Photoshop that does not distort/deform the letters of the text in any way other than to place them on an arc?
