Editor to share with you what ps into smart object refers to, I believe that most people do not know much about it, so share this article for your reference, I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article, let's go to understand it!

A smart object is a layer that contains image data in a raster or vector image, and it retains the source content of the image and all its original properties, allowing non-destructive editing of the layer. You can manipulate the layer without losing the original image data or reducing the quality, and does not affect the original data.

The operating environment of this tutorial: windows7 system, Adobe Photoshop CS6 version, Dell G3 computer.

Smart objects are layers that contain image data in raster or vector images, such as Photoshop or Illustrator files. Smart objects retain the source content of the image and all its original properties, allowing you to make non-destructive edits to the layer.

The functions of smart objects:

Perform a non-destructive transformation. Layers can be scaled, rotated, skewed, distorted, perspective transformed, or deformed without losing the original image data or reducing quality, because the transformation does not affect the original data.

Working with vector data, such as vector pictures in Illustrator, which will be rasterized in Photoshop without the use of smart objects.

Non-destructive application filter. You can edit filters applied to smart objects at any time.

Edit a smart object and automatically update all of its linked instances.

Apply a layer mask linked or unlinked to a Smart object layer

You cannot directly perform operations on a Smart object layer that alter pixel data, such as painting, Dodge, Burn, or Clone, unless you first convert the layer to a regular layer (which will be rasterized).

To perform operations that change pixel data, you can edit the contents of the Smart object, copy a new layer above the Smart object layer, edit a copy of the Smart object, or create a new layer.

Extended data:

One of the most extensive functions is the ability to perform non-destructive edits to layers, which is something a graphic designer needs to master.

If you want to cancel the smart layer, it is similar to the way you created it: right-click the layer > rasterize the layer.

Smart filter, in the filter options, there is the term "smart filter". When you create a smart filter, a "smart layer" is automatically created. After you create a smart filter, you will have a sub-option like "effect" at the bottom of the layer, and you can "close or open" the eyes to "do not show or display" the filter effect of the layer.

In this way, multiple effects can be superimposed repeatedly, and individual effects can be "turned off or on". The method is similar to blending options.

Smart object layer is zoomed in and out, the resolution of the layer will not change (difference: after the ordinary layer is reduced, and then zoom in and transform, the resolution will change).

And the smart layer has the saying of "follow", that is, a change has taken place on a smart layer, and the corresponding "| copy of the smart layer" will also change accordingly.
