Last month saw the launch of the all new Photoshop CC 2014 , with lots of great new features, especially for web designers. In this tutorial, you'll learn about the following new or improved features, and learn how to get started using them: Smart Objects Layer Comps Smart Guides Typekit Integration Font Search Workflow Enhancements Smart Objects Using Smart Objects is a great way to work non-destructively. You can embed a Smart Object directly in a Photoshop file or link to a separate file and update it and reuse it in multiple projects. You might already be familiar with Linked Smart Objects in Photoshop. Essentially, these are the same as standard Smart Objects, but are instead linked to a file. This means that your Linked Smart Objects aren't actually saved as part of the .psd, but instead externally, as a separate document. Traditionally, Linked Smart Objects could always be converted into an Embedded Smart Object, but not the other way round. However, now, in Photoshop CC 2014, Embedded Smart Objects can be converted into Linked Smart Objects! Here's how that works: Step 1 Right-click on the layer you want to convert, and then choose Convert to Linked . Step 2 A new window will appear, asking you to choose the location of your new Linked Smart Object.
