Your kindness has allowed me to serve others in school. I don't charge and pass on the goodness. Thanks a million.

It will be awesome to turn our lives in a smart object and fix all mistakes we have done.

The part where Aaron says, "Here on a normal layer, well... good luck" cracked me up.

This one of the best gifts I've ever had in a while

What an absolutely fantastic series! Thanks so much for the time and effort you've put into this Aaron!

Watching videos on a phone/tablet and doing on a computer,desktop, other tablet is huge! Awesome series!!!!

Your talk on smart layers was brilliantly presented, and very well explained. Thank you. And no ridiculous music in the background playing. Must tell my camera club friends.x

Love your presentation, so clearly illustrated. Thanks so much for offering this PS series, I've learned a ton of stuff and hope to be able to go back over all the material again.

This series has been a life saver for me so far and thank you and your team for this series Btw if you convert something to smart objects , do it by selecting and converting layers one by one ...if you multi select and convert, it will turn all those images into a one smart object i think And also make sure the layer visibility is turned on when converting or the converted layer will be an empty one. And also to access the smart objects "container" double click on the layer thumbnail...

Love the series! Glad I can watch on my tablet while using Photoshop on my desktop!! So much to learn, remember!

keep them coming! Learnt a lot from this ongoing course! Thanks a lot!

Love this series, well done, thank you for sharing.

Thanks so much for the time and effort you've put into this Aaron!

WOW, these lessons are awesom. Wish you had done this when I first started using PS

What I like about these tutorials is that I've seen some of these features showcased in your previous videos, but it adds just a little more knowledge. It's not overwhelming at all. Thank you!

Awesome! been wondering for years what smart objects were, but never got a clear answer Thanks Aaron

Fantastic lesson. Love it and incredibly useful for certain parts of business needs

I really love your teaching style: clear, short, easy to understand and funny!!

I am LOVING this series!

Aaron, I want to complement you on you Great Training technique and style. As a trainer myself, you make the material easy to understand to the beginner and very sly how you make mistakes to correct while informing the viewer what happens when you do certain things like making changes to a non- smart object. You really do make Learning fun. You truly are a professional.

This was a good one!!! Thanks Aaron!!!!

Smart Object changed my life!

This is an amazing series, thanks so much Aaron. After several years of using PS, I had never used the wonderful power of smart objects. A new dawn for me!

Brilliant advice and demonstration👍👏👏👏

Wow. This was great. Will be going over a few times. This is where two monitors would be nice. Thank you.

Brilliant east to follow, easy to understand.

Aw man I think I'll cry at the end of Day 30. Aaron I just wanna thank you so much.

I think the rain cloud brush (Selected towards the end of the video) was a funny touch for a wedding collage.

thank you aaron i'm so happy with your courses

I want to take my time to study your lessons good, thanks!!

brilliant thank you

This is a revolution on how we work, thank you

THIS TUTORIALS ARE REALLY GREAT ❤

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us ☺️.

Thank you!

Well done Aaron - especially good to review how to build a composite as well. Although SO files are larger to store, the question is, when would you NOT use them.

Thanks Aaron!

thanks for the importatnt information

Muchas gracias!

എന്റെ അണ്ണാ നിങ്ങള് ഒരു സംഭവം തന്നെ. Brilliant.

thnxxx a lot mr. great

Love the tutorials (and the jokes). Bravo, Aaron!

High quality video. Useful tutorial. Easy to understand

Making the collage was as helpful as the info on smart objects! Thanks!

best video ever!!!!!

Thanks a lot

Cool !

Still the best, and funniest and above all : thank you for your generosity. All your free stuff : thanks a huge lot !!!

thanks amazing

Thank youuuuu

thanks SIR.

just another great tutorial from Aaron. Thank you, man. I was just wondering if the smart objects are so awesome, when you will not like to use them?

Thank you Aaron for another great video I have a question, what’s the advantage to using a normal layer vs smart layer .

Smaller file size

well done

Hi. LOVE this video. Quick question, does being a smart object retain the quality when I make a photo larger than the original size? Thanks

vary nice Sir.i like your stile

Thanks Aaron for another great video. I'm curious-- did you record these all on the same day, or do you have a dozen of those grey t-shirts? ;)

ur truely fabulous

Thanks for the great vid! So, I can't figure out how to make Smart Objects and Adj layers play nice together. With a Smart Object pixel layer on top, the Adj layer/s below no longer effect the image. Cheers!

I am obviously a couple days behind. That said, when do you not convert an object to a Smart Object? Learning a lot. Thanks.

With all the advantages of Smart Objects, is there any time when you would not want to use them? P.S. Loving these tutorials!

Outstanding video Aaron, thank you. Sounds like smart objects are the thing to do, but is there ever a need that you don't want to use smart objects?

When you are working with an advert or composition, you should use smart object to make sure you always have the information available, but, if you are only editing the image and are not doing resizing, than you should be good with a normal layer, unless you want to work non-destructive using Smart filters and so on.

HES GOT A NEW SHIRT ON!! HERESY!! XD

i like how information is repeated in subsequent lessons so you can consolidate the knowledge.

i thought my eyes were going bad. realized i was watching in 480p omg

That was a great tutorial Aaron, you are forgiven for the spelling mistake on Day 11 ;)

I would only add that in the case were after transforming your smart layer into another size without keeping aspect ratio, you can always go into transform again and in the top tool menu, just set the same percentage value to width/height, and the original aspect ratio will be respected. Transform smart layers without fear!

in case nobody noticed like me. you no longer need to hold shift to maintain aspect ratios while resizing. it automatically maintains the aspect ratio. hold shift if you DON'T want to maintain the aspect ratio.

13:05 how did you crop just 1 image and then layer it back on grid. When i try to crop 1 image it then crops my whole artboard. Thank you so much Phlearn!

It seems to me he did just ctrl+z, I suppose.

Aaron, I noticed that after I finished the project I wanted to try and size it for print. I used the image dropdown to resize the image and making it smaller caused the image to rasterize. Wondering if you can give some tips for sizing images for print?

@rixd

Quick workaround.. You can create a new file that has all of the properties for print that you need and then drop in (place) the image you edited. Make sure to select Smart Object if you get a prompt, but it should be placed as a Smart Object by default. That way you only need to fill in the document and save.

Hi Aaron, you are amazing. I´m so grateful about your tutorials!!! Today I have a little challenge with the separation between the fotos. I selected with the marquee tool a tinny strip, press shift+ delete, then fill with white.... and it is no filling. Why? I tried several time....

The layer that's selected has to be a normal layer, it will not work on Smart Layers.

PC: press shift + backspace. Took me a while to do it was well until I realized shift + delete is for MAC users.

Thanks Aaron.. BUT many times before, I follow you using normal layers in your tutorials. Then when it is recommended to use normal layers -destructively-?

Oddly enough, I always struggle with cropping and resizing the most.

Hey Aaron nace, why adobe don't make smart object is the default setting. What is the benefit of regular they still exist? Thank you

Can I print smart object and still get good quality? Truly appreciate this 30-day tutorial! Thank you!

If the original dimensions of the file inside the Smart Object has "good quality" and file size (dimensions), then Yes. Just because a layer is inside the Smart Layer it does not mean you can size up and still have quality, what you have on the original is the most you will ever get from a smart layer.

rixd Thanks a lot! What I meant to ask is that my original file size is... let’s say 3x5 (200 dpi) and I am blowing it up to 12x18 by using smart object. Would it be okay?

How come if the layer is hidden (unchecked) and you convert it to a smart object the image in the layer‘disappear’? I’ve done this a few times and when I make layer active again there’s nothing in the layer showing up. I have to undo the smart object. Turn layer visibility back on. Then convert it.

Why was a layer mask added at this point? 6:18 I wish it was explained.

I did not get any PDF besides the Calendar. What is the Procedure Please, to see the wonderful Write-up you have for each Episode?

I want to use smart objects on my landscape photos, but when I go to use Nik filters it won't allow me to add it to the smart object. Also, I make a photo into a smart object and I cannot use content aware move tool to get rid of stray sticks. Is there a tutorial for these concerns? Thanks so much.

@rixd

Hi Peg, I do not have "Nik Filters", but for content aware, I do know that you can double click on the thumbnails view and go into the file that has pixel values and edit anything that you want to it, plus, you can duplicate the layer so you won't affect your original image, when you are done, just close the file window and choose save. the changes will be visible on your file with the smart layer. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Great tutorial. The only question it doesn't answer is this: if smart objects are so great (and they are), why doesn't Photoshop just convert all layers to smart objects automatically. In other words, what can you NOT do to a smart object? I think it would be helpful to discuss how you rasterize smart objects for adjustments that can't be done to smart objects. Do you duplicate the smart object layer first and then rasterize it? This is where non-destructive editing can become a little awkward.

Yes to everything that @Justin said! Plus, it always depends on what you want to do, you can always have another document where you do straight-to-pixel changes and another where you use the results of those edits as a smart layer in another document. The designer in me says "Yes, everything to smart object", but then the photographer says "no, you need to clean the image". But then, other work arounds are always available.
