When you have a elaborate design, which you can situation organizations of layers inside a clever Object and procedure the independently. It is usually possible to situation a few sensible Objects within a further intelligent Object (that is known as nested smart Objects) so as to perform duties that would be unattainable (or very complicated) to do in some other way. For illustration, applying more than one stroke Layer styles (see the section on Layer patterns,) to form layers.
To transform a layer to a shrewd Object, go to the Layer menu and pick shrewd Objects > Convert to shrewd Object. On the other hand, you could also convert a layer to a intelligent Object from the layout menu in the top proper-hand nook of the Layers panel, ig 4.1.
Fig 4.1 the “Convert to shrewd Object” perform within the Layers panel design menu
In ig 4.2 a variety layer has had two Outer Glow Layer patterns applied to it. With out utilising sensible Objects it will be so much trickier to achieve this distinct efect and would involve a couple of layer and transformations. On this case all that was once required was once so as to add a blue Outer Glow Layer type. Convert the layer to a smart Object and then apply a red Outer Glow to the brand new sensible Object.
Fig 4.2 a double Layer variety result. The intelligent Object layer is indicated by using the small icon within the bottom right of the layer.
