Using Smart Link



Graphic files imported into Adobe GoLive as Smart Objects from Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, or LiveMotion have a Smart Link that lets you open the original source file in its native application, make edits, and then have the Web-safe copy automatically updated to reflect the edits.

To open a Smart Object in its native application:

Double-click a Smart Object.

The Smart Object opens in its native application, letting you edit the image, and save your edits to file. When you then return to the Web page in Adobe GoLive which contains the Web-safe copy, Adobe GoLive updates the copy to reflect your edits.


Note: If the Smart Object's application does not open, try the following. Choose Edit > Preferences, expand General preferences icon in the left pane, and choose User Interface. Make sure the Launch other applications to edit media files option displayed in the right pane is enabled.
