Converting Smart Objects into regular image objects


    You can convert a Smart Object into a regular image object to unlink the source and target files. When these files are unlinked, changes to the source do not affect the target.

To convert a Smart Object to a regular object:

  1. Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) a Smart Object.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • If your Smart Object is a bitmap image, choose Convert to Regular Image.
    • If your Smart Object is an image in SVG or SWF format, choose Convert to Regular Plugin.
    • If your Smart Object is a sliced Photoshop or Illustrator image, choose Convert to Regular Table.
