Now you finally can edit an external Smart Object ONCE AND PROPAGATE THE UPDATE EVERYWHERE!
VIDEO DEMONSTRATION
Important: Watch the demonstration video!! The video below will demonstrate how to use the action and how you can optimize your workflow on recurrent elements.
ARE YOU A WEB DESIGNER?
...So you often create recurring web elements, such as HEADER or FOOTER, which are typically common elements in the most of the pages of your sites and applications. You also know you’ll need to duplicate them, page by page, during the interface design process. Until today, if you needed to edit one common element e.g. the header, you had to re-edit every single file of your website in order to display the same header everywhere… Now you can use LINKED SMART OBJECTS to edit them ONCE and propagate that update through all your website files. This action set is just aimed at making the process even easier, faster and ready to use.
ARE YOU A GRAPHIC/EDITORIAL DESIGNER?
...So you know that using Smart Objects in your images is a great way to work non-destructively. In the past you embedded Smart Objects into your Photoshop file. Now you can also link to an external file and get the benefits of updating multiple Smart Objects at once. Use this set of action to propagate common or recurrent graphical elements to other pages/files as you would do creating a MASTER PAGE of Indesign or Keynote.
ARE YOU WORKING IN A TEAM?
“The biggest advantage is likely be for those working on teams — you’ll now be able to split projects into files that can be edited in parallel, and be able to share assets amongst those files. Photoshop collaboration has just been kicked up a notch.” Source: Bjango.
