Edit Smart Object

Edit Smart Object actionThis action lets you edit the contents of a smart object created with the Editable Smart Object, Place as Smart Object, or Open as Smart Object commands*.
*Solution for non-editable objects is explained here.

  1. In the Layers palette, select an editable smart object.
  2. In the Effects palette, double-click the "Edit Smart Object" pictogram.
  3. The smart object opens as an ordinary document (on the screenshot - "smart_object.psd"). Edit it as needed.
  4. Save the edited smart object (File > Save) - the source smart object in the original document updates immediately.
  5. Important! Do not alter the default saving directory and file name suggested by Photoshop Elements - otherwise, the changes won't take place in the source document.
