Is it possible to convert a layer to a smart object, and then (if desired) have each smart filter have its own filter mask?In the past, I've gotten around this by embedding smart objects within one another, but I'm wondering if there's been any progress made on this issue since CS3.
View 1 Replies1. Is there a way for masking each smart filter separately on a single smart object other than nesting one smart object into the another?
2. Is there a way for removing the previously created smart object?
I mean ... let's say I have a smart object containing four layers. Can I remove smart object from these layers?
I have a standalone Photoshop CS 6 v 13.05 and a Photoshop CC v 14.0 both running on the same MacPro using OS x 10.8.4.
The Smart Filter Masking by painting in the standalone version of Photoshop CS 6 works perfectly.However, try as I might I just cannot get my smart filter/s masked by painting in them in the Photoshop CC version.
Is there a switch or setting somewhere that I’m missing?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI made a wax seal on Photoshop with a lot of embossment, bedevilment and a Smart Filter. It's done and I just need to make it smaller so it fits well on my certificate. When I resize it (Ctr + T) It pops up a message that reads:Â

"Smart Filters applied to layers contained in this group will be turned off temporarily while the transform is being previewed. They will be applied after committing the transform."
Â
OK
Â
[] Don't show again

I click OK and I re-size the layer with free transform, and then hit enter. The Layer is resized but my Smart Filter which creates a wavy affect around the seal is totally distorted.
Â
How do re-size my layer with smart filter without affecting the smart filter aspect of the layer.
Here's the situation: I've liquified a smart object but I did all the liquifying at the wrong size - the smart object is not at 100% size (my fault for not opening the smart and dragging it back out at 100%). I need to retain the liquifying (and any warping) exactly as it is, and size up the smart object to 100%. Is there any way to do this accurately? It doesn't matter if it's a big/long workaround, as long as it doesn't involve me redoing the liquify, which will never get me the exact same shape.

Sadly I haven't found a good way to do this, thought i would be able to with warp but I can't get straight corners with it,
I'm working on a project and I need to use the free distort tool + ctrl (command for mac users) but it won't work. I found out that I need to convert it to a smart object, from another disscussion, but right clicking the name of it in the layers menu isn't working. I'm using CS6 by the way.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI was messing around in CS6 and accidentally selected "conver to smart object" on one of the layers. So now with layering multiple layers, I can't just select the areas once and use Gaussian blur. I would need to keep re-selecting all the areas for ALL the textures. It's because the layers have become smart objects.Â
Â
How can I undo my layers being smart objects? I want to just have the regular layers and only want to use the same selection (with the lasso tool) once to erase multiple layers of textures I don't want?Â
Â
Here is an image so you can see what I am talking about. I don't want ANY smart layers on there. I Just want to do gaussian blur on the layers themselves.Â
When I create a new layer by placing an image from another file and then try to edit it (like removing the background from an image) I keep getting this message, "Could not complete your request because the smart object is not directly editable."

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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 -> SO3canvas -> SO2 -> SO3 so when I update SO3 from within SO1, only SO1 is updated - SO2 stays the same.
View 9 Replies View RelatedThe image above is some text with various blending options applied ... well a part of it.
I have applied and outerglow and a drop shadow to the text. But, I want that gap to be filled with white and to have no drop shadow as you can see.
How can I achieve that? I assume with some sort of masking? I want to ensure the text can be resized so rasterizing and painting that area white is not an option.
I'm not quite sure what I did to screw this up, but for the past few days, I can't fully airbrush blend/ remove parts of an image when layer masking (i.e. when airbrushing out @ 100% hardness, opacity, fill, flow... all the good stuff... the image I'm trying to airbrush out remains as though I've just taken the opacity or fill down to about 5%). I've tried messing with different types of brushes, but nothing seems to work.

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.
For some reason the masking layer is not working in my CS6. I know have everything set correctly.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm making this image that illustrates a famous dadaist quote and one thing im trying to do is make a couple words out of a painting. This is unclear so I will explain.
I have made a layer that only has rasterised white text on it. There are three words, each spread out about two inches from the other (vertically). One of the words has a pretty interesting blur effect on it (this is significant). There is a painting I like.
I want the white text to be filled with the corresponding areas on the painting. This means the text will actually be made OF the painting. Now i considered just clicking on the outside of the text hitting select inverse and just going to the layer with the painting and cutting out the selection of the text.
However, if you remember, one of the words has an interesting blur effect which will then be lost, but I want the blur to be retained. On that note, I know this has to be done via a layer mask over the painting layer, BUT i cant paste the white text into the mask nor can i retype it without a new layer being created.
how to airbrush. I have been using it since. Copying layer adding noise and blur and then layer masking and painting with the brush tool. All of the sudden the last step no longer works. I paint and no layer shines through. I must have done somthing to a setting.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm making order in my older pictures and I was wondering it there is a way to create smart collection/filter to show pictures where file type is equal (pdf or raw or jpg) and where keyword doesn't exists.
Â
I want to make sure I have keywords in every picture now but I would like have smart collection/filter like this find pictures without keywords.
I can lookup files without keyword but all folder, subfolders and other files will show as well.
In a current project I am often stacking several smart filters on top of eachother (in CS5.1), and then changing their sequence to see what effect that might have overall. When the number of filters approaches 5 (120 possible sequences) or 6 (720 possible sequences), then my sorting method becomes, well, let's just say it's less than systematic. On top of this, sometimes I'm fooling around with the 27 Blending Modes too. When you multiply these options by the number of filter sequences, the possibilies become astronomical. My question is: is there some method/script/keystroke that will alter the filter sequence in a systematic way? For instance, let's say we are using 4 filters, designated A, B, C and D. The 24 possible sequences would be:
ABCD, ABDC, ACBD, ACDB, ADBC, ADCB, BACD, BADC, BCAD, BCDA, BDAC, BDCA, CABD, CADB, CBAD, CBDA, CDAB, CDBA, DABC, DACB, DBAC, DBCA, DCAB, DCBA.
Is there a script that will let me view all of these possibles, one by one, so that I can either save or not save a particular configuration? It would be nice if that script would also let you apply various blending modes.
Liquify as a Smart Filter is definitively a long waited feature but I found an issue with it. I made smart object from a layer, applied Liquify, next I change the document ratio with Crop tool...You see, completely different pixels are liquified now. Dissapointing I've reported the issue already.

I converted my RGB image to Smart Filter under Filter menu. I then tried to choose Liquify Tool but this option is disabled. Is my version 13.03 still not up-to-dated.
You can apply a mask to smart filters, but I can't find a way to apply a vector mask to smart filters.As a workaround I make a selection from a path and make a filter mask from that selection. That works just fine, but I'm still wondering if it's possible to apply the vector mask directly to the smart filter.
