Smart Objects?

HI all, I've just been watching a video about using Smart Objects in Ps and was just wondering if this has any relevance to how we use objects in PP?  Thanks for any feedback.

  • Well, I don't hate smart objects as much as Phil does, but I find they're of limited usefulness. (Maybe "specific" is a better word.)

    You're right that they work similarly to objects in PP. You can do some things to them, like scale or warp, but other edits force you to rasterize the object.

    So you can place a vector from AI or CorelDraw or a pdf, but if you want to edit it beyond what a layer style (lens in PP) can do, you have to go back to the original program, make the change, and then re-place it.

    I don't want to give the impression it's not useful, just that I'm not sure how "smart" it is.
